Ukraine's grain exports fell 49.5% year-on-year in October 2026 to 1.256 million tonnes. Wheat shipments were 954,000 tonnes, down about 34%, corn fell 67.5% to 262,000 tonnes, and barley dropped to 34,000 tonnes.
Sharply lower Ukrainian shipments tighten Black Sea export supply and support world wheat, corn and barley prices. Buyers may need to source from other origins, adding to demand for alternatives.
