Cargo handling at some Russian southern terminals fell 95–100% in September as deteriorating security disrupted shipping in the Azov–Black Sea basin and shifted freight toward northwestern routes. Grain and agricultural handling volumes in July–August dropped by more than half year over year, from 7.9 million to 3.8 million tonnes, while port operators’ requests for government support have gone unanswered.
Disruption at Russia’s southern ports limits export logistics for grain and agricultural commodities, potentially tightening Black Sea export availability and supporting regional prices. Diversion to other routes may partly offset the lost capacity but can add costs and delays.
