# Cereals daily: exporters in Russia desperate to ship - Mundus Agri

> Exporters in Russia are rushing to ship before a new export tariff of EUR 25/mt on wheat takes effect on February 15, rising to EUR 50/mt on March 1. About 70 ships are waiting to load in the Sea of Azov, and Euronext launched cash-settled Ukraine Black Sea wheat futures. China has also stepped up corn purchases.

- Commodities: [Wheat (SRW)](https://feedsoft.ai/c/WHEAT.md), [Corn](https://feedsoft.ai/c/CORN.md)

## Why it matters

The pre-tariff export rush front-loads Russian wheat supply, likely pressuring near-term Black Sea wheat prices, while the tariff step-up can later lift export costs. Chinese corn buying supports corn demand.
