Sovecon estimates Russia exported 2.9 million tonnes of wheat in October, up from 2.1 million tonnes in August but 46% below October last year. It says alternative routes are close to capacity, with rail shipments falling in October, and that further export growth depends chiefly on restoring Black Sea shipping.
Constrained Russian export capacity limits wheat availability on the world market and could support wheat prices. Rail congestion and the end of river navigation may further restrict shipments unless Black Sea routes recover.
