> At the AgroLogistics 2026 conference in Moscow on 30 October, market participants discussed alternative Russian grain export routes. The author notes that a new route does not by itself create a commercial advantage unless goods, transport, financing and buyers align in time. He also cites a Russagrotrans wheat crop estimate of 89.8 million tonnes and port capacity figures for Port Vysotsky.
