Rail grain deliveries to the Greater Odesa ports fell 69.8% month on month to 10.3 thousand tons in October, according to Spike Brokers. Overall rail grain transport reached 1.428 million tons in the first 27 days of October, up 13.2% from September but down 34% year on year.
Ukrzaliznytsia has imposed multiple restrictions on grain wagon shipments to border crossings since October 26.
With Odesa rail capacity sharply reduced, more Ukrainian grain must move by road to Danube ports or through land borders, raising logistics costs and tightening export flows for Black Sea wheat and corn. This supports firmer FOB prices for Ukrainian origin grain.
