Ukraine’s agricultural exports in the 2026–27 marketing year could fall by more than half to about 29.6 million tonnes, according to a forecast attributed to the agriculture ministry. Russian attacks on Black Sea ports have discouraged ships from calling, and wheat shipments could decline by nearly half.
Reduced access to Ukrainian ports could sharply cut exportable grain supplies, tightening availability for importers and supporting global wheat prices. The lower export outlook also threatens Ukraine’s foreign-currency earnings.
After 361 past bullish geopolitics events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median +0.7% over 5 sessions (58% higher; middle half -1.4% to +3.7%), and +1.3% over 20.
