Russia's grain exports are expected to fall by half in October to about 3 million tonnes, versus over 6 million in a normal autumn, according to the Russian Grain Union. Shipments are constrained by Black Sea transport problems, and Baltic rerouting only partly compensates.
Sharply lower Russian export availability tightens global wheat supply and supports prices, although a large domestic harvest pushes against that effect.
