# Ukraine's grain exports run at half last year's pace as stocks head for records

> USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service says Ukraine's grain exports in the first three months of 2026/27 averaged about half the pace of 2025/26 as attacks disrupted ports, railways, bridges and marine traffic. USDA projects record ending stocks of corn and wheat, and some corn may stay in fields through winter for lack of storage.

## Why it matters

Reduced Ukrainian exports ease competition for buyers in the near term, but large carry-in stocks are a bearish risk for corn and wheat if shipping conditions improve.
