Ukraine’s blocked deep-water ports have disrupted agricultural exports, leaving a significant share of the harvest in storage and contributing to low farm prices and tight working capital. The sector also faces higher fuel costs, labour shortages, and limited access to mineral fertilizers.
Restricted port capacity raises export and storage costs while slowing the movement of Ukrainian grain into world markets, a supportive factor for exportable grain prices. Higher fuel and input costs further squeeze producers and could constrain future output.
