Freight rates for grain shipments from Ukraine's Danube ports rose by $10 per ton over the past week to $120 per ton. Limited vessel availability, long queues at Sulina and military risks in the Black Sea are driving the increase, while barge rates also climb on tonnage shortages linked to Danube draft restrictions.
Higher freight costs raise the landed cost of Ukrainian barley, maize, sorghum and rice, supporting origin prices and narrowing the export margin for Black Sea grain relative to other origins.
