Domestic grain prices in southern Russia have dropped below those in central and Volga regions because farmers there can no longer export through nearby Azov-Black Sea terminals. Russian seaborne grain shipments from the Azov-Black Sea basin fell to 130.5 thousand tons in October from 5.38 million a year earlier, while Baltic ports took a 65.3% share.
Lower domestic Russian farm-gate prices and stranded southern supply can keep Russian wheat cheap for buyers able to reach Baltic ports, while the logistics shift caps the bullish effect on world prices.
After 163 past neutral logistics events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (53% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.1%), and -0.3% over 20.
