# Blocking of Odesa Ports Causes 41% Drop in Agricultural Exports Over Three Months

> Ukraine exported 6.5 million tonnes of major agricultural products in August–October 2026, down 41% year over year as Greater Odesa ports were largely shut. Rail and Danube ports took on most of the diverted shipments, while about 4.6 million tonnes of exports—including roughly 4 million tonnes of grain—were not shipped and remained in Ukraine.

## Why it matters

The port disruption limits grain supplies available to international buyers, which can support export-market prices, while the unsold crop weighs on Ukrainian domestic prices and farm revenues. Higher logistics costs and weaker returns may also reduce future planting.
