Ukraine exported 6.5 million tonnes of major agricultural products in August–October 2026, down 41% year over year, after Odesa ports effectively stopped operating in early August. Of the 4.6 million tonnes of agricultural products not exported, about 4 million tonnes were grain; shipments shifted mainly to rail and Danube ports, while unsold stocks remained in Ukraine.
The port disruption constrains Ukrainian export flows and raises logistics costs, leaving more grain on the domestic market and weighing on local prices and farm finances. Persisting export uncertainty could also reduce planted area.
