Ukrainian corn export prices fell below $200 per tonne for the first time in two years, with quotes at $199 per tonne FOB in Greater Odesa and $170–175 in Izmail. Rising freight and insurance costs, security risks to Black Sea shipping, and costly routes through the Danube and Constanța are squeezing export parity and farm margins.
Higher logistics costs and constrained port capacity force sellers to discount Ukrainian corn, making the export flow less competitive and weighing on local prices. The disruption also limits Black Sea supply available to importers.
After 359 past bearish logistics events, Corn moved a median -0.3% over 5 sessions (44% higher; middle half -1.5% to +1.5%), and -0.5% over 20.
