Russian and Ukrainian grain and oilseed exports from Black Sea ports fell 63% year on year in July–September, according to Kpler. Expanded Baltic shipments, European rail links and Danube operations have provided alternatives, but have not fully replaced the lost flows, leaving deliveries longer and less predictable and shifting transport costs along the supply chain.
Reduced Black Sea export capacity tightens timely supply and raises delivery and inventory costs for importers, which can support grain and oilseed prices. Alternative routes mitigate shortages but cannot fully restore prior export volumes or reliability.
