# Siberian Grain Changes Routes - Altayskiy Krestyanin

> Russian grain exports face a major logistics shake-up as the southern export corridor effectively changed its operating profile from July. Siberian shippers, who had considered the Baltic as an alternative, found it could not fully replace southern ports. Novosibirskkhleboprodukt's CEO told a grain roundtable on 30 October that the new export flow pattern may persist into the next season.

## Why it matters

Rerouting of Russian wheat exports through the Baltic and Far East raises freight costs and slows shipments, which supports FOB prices for Russian wheat relative to what the southern corridor would normally deliver.
