Ukrainian corn export prices fell to $199/t FOB Odesa on November 2, 2026, down from $223/t on October 2 and below $200/t for the first time since September 2024. Traders cite Black Sea shipping restrictions and high logistics costs, with Constanta routing near $100/t.
Lower Ukrainian corn offers pressure world corn export pricing and shift buying toward other origins, while high freight through alternative routes keeps Ukrainian supply less competitive. Buyers may find cheaper Black Sea-origin corn, but availability remains constrained by security risks.
After 359 past bearish logistics events, Corn moved a median -0.3% over 5 sessions (44% higher; middle half -1.5% to +1.5%), and -0.5% over 20.
