# Four million tonnes of grain could not be exported because Odesa ports stopped operating

> Ukraine could not export 4.6 million tonnes of agricultural products in August–October 2026 after Odesa ports effectively stopped operating in early August; about 4 million tonnes of the delayed shipments were grain. Total exports of major agricultural products fell 41% year over year to 6.5 million tonnes, as more cargo moved by rail and through Danube ports, and unsold products remained in the country.

## Why it matters

Restricted port capacity limits Ukrainian grain exports and leaves additional supply in the domestic market, putting pressure on local prices. Higher logistics costs and weaker farm revenues may also reduce planting.
