The USDA forecasts Ukraine’s 2026/27 ending grain stocks at a record 36.1 million tonnes, including 19.58 million tonnes of corn. It projects wheat exports of 8.7 million tonnes, corn exports of 10.2 million tonnes and barley exports of 2 million tonnes, citing Russian attacks on ports and other transport infrastructure as a key constraint.
Disrupted shipments leave more grain accumulating in Ukraine and reduce export availability, potentially supporting global grain prices even as the domestic surplus weighs on local prices.
After 285 past bullish logistics events, Corn moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (52% higher; middle half -1.5% to +1.5%), and +0.8% over 20.
After 283 past bullish logistics events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (46% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.3%), and -0.1% over 20.
