Ukraine shipped nearly 1.3 million tonnes of grain by rail for export in October, up about 25% from September, while total rail grain shipments reached nearly 1.6 million tonnes. Most export rail cargo moved through western border crossings and Danube ports; only 36,000 tonnes went to the Greater Odesa ports, and average daily grain loading was down 46% year over year, according to figures discussed on November 5.
War-related constraints and weak rail loading limit Ukraine’s ability to move grain to export markets, keeping logistics costs elevated and potentially tightening regional export availability. The increased October volume offers some relief but does not restore normal flows.
