# Turkey submits proposals to US for safe grain shipments via the Black Sea

> US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington is reviewing Turkish proposals for safe navigation and stable grain shipments through the Black Sea, submitted one to two weeks earlier. He said India has also put forward ideas, and that a limited Black Sea arrangement would not end the Ukraine-Russia war.

## Why it matters

A possible Black Sea shipping arrangement would ease freight and insurance risk and could pressure wheat and corn prices, but no deal is confirmed and Rubio declined to judge its likelihood, so the impact is limited for now.
