# Russia adapts to Black Sea disruption but wheat market is too optimistic, Sizov says

> Russian exporters have expanded Baltic shipments and other alternative routes to offset some disruption to Black Sea trade. SovEcon cut its 2026/27 Russian wheat export forecast to 36 million tonnes from 36.7 million, assuming Black Sea navigation will not recover before spring 2027.

## Why it matters

Reduced Black Sea export capacity limits Russian wheat availability despite exporters’ adaptation, supporting wheat prices; continued optimism about a swift recovery could leave prices vulnerable if disruption persists.
