# Constanta Could Become a Price Benchmark for Corn and Wheat. What Does It Mean for the Ukrainian Market?

> Euronext plans to launch wheat and corn futures delivering to the Romanian port of Constanta from June 2027, according to a grain market expert citing an internal exchange letter. The contracts are expected to be formally presented on November 5 at the European Commodities Exchange in Rotterdam. The aim is a regional price benchmark and risk-management tool for Eastern European grain.

## Why it matters
