# Falling global prices and high transport costs increase pressure on Ukrainian corn

> European corn prices kept falling in early November as EU harvests advanced and Ukrainian supplies increased. March corn futures on Euronext fell to €247.75/t from a three-year high of about €280/t three weeks earlier. Ukrainian corn exports in October were weak, and road transport costs to EU buyers of $150–170/t have made many shipments unprofitable.

## Why it matters

Lower EU corn futures and rising logistics costs push Ukrainian corn prices down and reduce export competitiveness, which keeps supply available for EU feed buyers. The lower crude oil and oilseed prices cited in the article add to the bearish pressure.
