# Ukrainian corn falls below $200/mt to two-year low as logistics costs rise

> Platts assessed Ukrainian corn at $199/mt FOB POC on Nov. 2, down $24/mt from $223/mt on Oct. 2, the lowest level in two years. Traders blamed high logistics costs, with export costs via Constanta near $100/mt, and flows from Ukraine's POC ports remain heavily restricted by Black Sea risks.

## Why it matters

Higher freight and logistics costs push Ukrainian farmers to cut prices to secure sales, weighing on world corn export prices. Limited port capacity keeps Ukrainian supply competing at a discount.
