Russian grain exports through sea ports fell about threefold in October 2026, from roughly 7 million to 2.3 million tonnes, according to the Russian Grain Union. Wheat shipments dropped 3.1 times to 2 million tonnes, and the number of ports used fell from 43 to 21, with Azov-Black Sea volumes collapsing as Baltic routes grew.
Shrinking Russian shipments from Black Sea ports signal tighter export supply and push buyers toward Baltic origin, which can lift wheat and barley prices and add freight and logistics cost.
