# Romanian Maize Caught Between Low Serbian and Ukrainian Prices and Rising Danube Freight

> Romanian maize is squeezed between lower-priced Serbian and Ukrainian supply and rising Danube shipping costs. Romanian wheat is the most expensive on the export market, about $10 above Russian wheat, reducing its competitiveness, while freight from Ukrainian ports to Egypt rose $10 per tonne. Euronext wheat is falling ahead of Russia-Ukraine-US talks in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11, while US farmers had harvested 74% of the corn crop.

## Why it matters

Higher Danube freight and cheaper Serbian and Ukrainian origins limit Romanian export competitiveness, keeping pressure on European corn and wheat prices. Expected peace talks and rising Russian exports through the Baltic add downward pressure on wheat.
