Russian grain exports are being redistributed to the Caspian, Baltic, Far East and overland routes after southern ports were restricted. None of these alternatives can replace the Azov-Black Sea basin, which previously handled 70-90% of Russian grain exports and about 60% of vegetable oil exports.
Rerouting is raising freight costs, straining infrastructure and delaying shipments, with Astrakhan port congestion cited.
Lower effective Russian export capacity tightens global wheat, corn and sunflower-related supply and lifts freight costs, supporting feed grain and meal prices. Logistical bottlenecks mean the export shortfall is unlikely to be fully offset quickly.
