The Danube ports of Reni and Izmail can handle only about 15-20% of Ukraine's national agricultural export volumes. Russian attacks on Black Sea shipping have sharply reduced cargo flows through Ukraine's deep-water ports, and vessel calls fell 90% year on year in August per Lloyd's List Intelligence.
Barges on the Danube are carrying roughly 800-900 tonnes instead of 1,500 due to low water and queues at the Sulina Canal.
Losing deep-water capacity raises freight and handling costs and constrains Ukrainian corn and oilseed supplies to feed buyers, supporting prices for imported feed grains and meals. The shift to Danube routes is costlier and slower, limiting how much export volume can be replaced.
