# Ukraine nearly doubles wheat exports to Egypt as corn shipments come to a halt

> Ukraine shipped 269,100 tonnes of wheat to Egypt in October, nearly twice September’s volume and 27% of Egypt’s wheat imports. Ukrainian corn shipments to Egypt were absent amid Black Sea logistics restrictions; Egypt’s total wheat imports rose month on month but remained 47% below a year earlier.

## Why it matters

The shift toward Ukrainian wheat and the interruption of corn shipments reflect constrained Black Sea export routes, limiting Ukraine’s ability to deliver corn while wheat still moves. The export disruption is supportive for Ukrainian corn prices, while stronger Ukrainian wheat flows add supply to Egypt’s import market.
