# Bulgaria unveils plan to put more grain on rail

> The Bulgarian transport and agriculture ministries met with grain associations and state operator BDZ Freight after a recent attack on Black Sea ports. Around five million tonnes of Bulgarian wheat risk remaining unsold because vessels are avoiding Varna and Burgas. The government will review rail stations capable of grain handling and explore reviving unused stations and building intermodal terminals.

## Why it matters

Vessels avoiding Bulgarian Black Sea ports leave a large volume of wheat unsold, which weighs on local prices and export flows; rail diversion helps move supply but is slow and limited, so the effect on world wheat prices is modest.
