Freight rates for grain shipments from Ukraine's Danube ports to Egypt rose by $10 per ton over the past week to $120 per ton, according to ASAP Agri. Limited vessel availability, queues at Sulina, Black Sea war risks, and firm shipowner terms have widened the gap between owner and charterer rate expectations.
Barge rates on the Danube are also climbing on tonnage shortages and draft restrictions.
Higher freight costs raise the landed price of Ukrainian grain and feed grains for Egyptian buyers and reduce export competitiveness, which can support prices in origin markets while limiting demand.
