Farmers and other demonstrators protested Russian grain shipments through Latvia in Jēkabpils on November 7, arguing that the trade supports Russia’s war effort and harms Latvian agriculture. Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs warned that a transit ban could cost state revenue and invite legal challenges; legislation is expected to bar Latvian railways from making new agreements with Russia.
A restriction could reduce Russian grain moving through Latvia and redirect export flows, potentially tightening available supply on affected routes. The proposal is not yet a broad transit ban, so the immediate price effect is limited.
