# Grain prices in southern Russia fall below other regions amid Black Sea export disruptions

> 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.

## Why it matters

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.
