# Russia moves wheat exports north to Baltic ports

> Russia shipped an estimated 3.93 million tonnes of wheat through Baltic ports from July to October 2026, 5.8 times the year-earlier volume, lifting their share of Russian wheat shipments to 38.3%. Russia also sent its first wheat train to Murmansk and opened a Caspian route to Iran, while total wheat exports for the period were estimated at 10.3 million tonnes, down from 16.9 million a year earlier.

## Why it matters

New routes help Russian wheat reach buyers despite Black Sea shipping constraints, partially offsetting logistical disruption. However, the lower total export volume may limit global availability and lend support to wheat prices.
