Ukraine’s central bank estimates that the maritime blockade will cost the agricultural sector US$4.6 billion in export revenue in July–December 2026, with a further US$0.6 billion loss from suspended ore exports. Agricultural exports fell to 1.8 million tonnes in August and partially recovered to 2.7 million tonnes in September as shipments shifted to alternative routes; the bank’s baseline assumes the port blockade continues into the first half of 2027.
Restricted port access limits Ukraine’s ability to move grain and oilseeds to export markets, tightening available export supply and potentially supporting global prices. Persistent disruption also leaves more product in-country, increasing pressure on domestic storage and prices.
