# Baltic Ports Adapt to Surge in Grain Exports from Russia

> A shift in Russian grain exports from the Black Sea toward the Baltic is leading port terminal operators to adapt infrastructure originally designed for other cargoes. The article says Black Sea disruption has constrained Russian wheat exports, while the EU’s 2026/27 cereal output is forecast down 9.6% year over year and maize imports are projected to rise to 25 million tonnes.

## Why it matters

Redirecting shipments can partly preserve Russian export flows but cannot fully replace Black Sea capacity, tightening globally available wheat and supporting prices. The EU’s lower cereal output and higher maize import needs also increase its exposure to competing for supplies.
