Russia sent 3,400 tonnes of wheat to Murmansk in late October and is preparing a test shipment of about 28,000–29,500 tonnes for North Africa. The route is being explored as southern maritime grain exports have fallen sharply, but Murmansk lacks a dedicated grain terminal and the test cargo is only a small share of Russia’s September seaborne exports.
Reduced shipments through Black Sea and Azov ports constrain Russian export flows, which can support global wheat prices. The small, operationally challenging Murmansk shipment is not yet a meaningful substitute.
