Russian Agriculture Minister Oksana Lut said Russia is increasing grain shipments through Baltic and Caspian ports as Black Sea routes face restrictions. The government has raised the priority of grain rail shipments and allocated 9.7 billion rubles in transport subsidies, with another 10 billion rubles planned.
Lut said grain exports were up 18% by volume through mid-October compared with the start of the year.
Alternative routes and transport subsidies could help sustain Russian export flows despite Black Sea disruption, limiting the loss of global grain supply. However, rerouting may add logistical friction and costs.
