# Ukraine’s agricultural exports fell 41% due to the blockade of Odesa ports

> Ukraine’s agricultural exports fell 41% between August and October 2026 to 6.5 million tonnes, as Odesa ports’ share of agricultural transshipment dropped from 87% to 8%. Rail and Danube routes took over much of the flow, but a 4.6-million-tonne export shortfall—including 4 million tonnes of grain—left crops unsold and prompted farmers to cut planting areas.

## Why it matters

The port blockade constrains Ukraine’s export capacity and leaves more grain in the domestic market, weighing on local prices and farm finances. Continued shipping disruption also limits exportable supply to global buyers, potentially supporting international grain prices.
