Ukraine's Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food, Taras Vysotskyi, said on November 2 that alternative EU Solidarity Lanes now handle about 45% to 50% of Ukraine's agricultural export volume. Shipping bottlenecks intensified in late July, leaving many farmers unable to sell harvests at prices covering production costs.
He called for restoring full-scale maritime shipping, with Turkey seen as a key partner.
With Black Sea ports constrained, a large share of Ukrainian wheat, corn and oilseed supply is delayed or rerouted at higher cost, which tightens export availability and supports Black Sea origin basis and world wheat and corn prices.
