Russia has sent its first grain shipment through the Arctic port of Murmansk, a World War II-era route, after Black Sea trade was disrupted by attacks on ports and vessels. About 3,400 tonnes were loaded initially, and roughly 28,000 tonnes of wheat were due to be loaded for Casablanca, Morocco.
Rerouting Russian wheat to the Arctic adds distance and cost, which raises freight and FOB costs for importers and could tighten near-term wheat supply in North Africa and Asia. Higher logistics costs support wheat prices.
