# Freight from the Danube to Egypt reached $120 per ton

> Barge freight from the Danube to Egypt reached about $120 per ton as of October 30, a new high, up from $108-110 a week earlier and $30 in July. Few deals are being concluded because shipowners and charterers remain far apart on rates, and Black Sea deep-water routes have effectively stopped being fixed since July.

## Why it matters

Higher Danube-to-Egypt freight raises the landed cost of Ukrainian and Danube-origin grain and oilseeds into North Africa, supporting Black Sea export alternatives and widening origin spreads for feed buyers.
