International flaxseed supply is reported to be adequate, but prices have risen in recent weeks amid high freight costs and transport constraints. Russian Railways suspended transit-wagon authorizations to Baltic ports in October, making it harder for Kazakh flaxseed to reach Europe; routing through Belarus and Klaipėda adds an estimated $15–20 per tonne.
Constrained and more expensive transport raises delivered costs for Kazakh flaxseed in Europe despite ample production, supporting prices in affected markets. The disruption could also redirect trade to costlier routes.
