# Ukraine’s corn runs into the limit of its railway

> Ukraine had harvested 38% of its corn crop by early November, but exported only 0.32 million tonnes since the season began in October, compared with 1.70 million tonnes at the same point in 2022. Rail shipments of wheat have remained near 0.2 million tonnes per week, below the five-season average, and the article says the same rail capacity must now accommodate corn exports.

## Why it matters

A binding rail bottleneck can prevent Ukrainian corn from reaching export markets despite available supplies, increasing domestic stock pressure and potentially supporting global prices if shipments remain constrained. Competition with wheat for limited rail capacity adds to the risk.
