India is working with Russia, Ukraine and European partners on a proposal to protect civilian shipping and restore grain exports from both sides of the Black Sea. The proposal is important to India’s edible-oil supply: Russia provides about half of its sunflower oil imports, and Russian shipments in September fell to roughly one-third of normal levels.
Safer access to Russian and Ukrainian ports could restore grain and sunflower-oil flows, easing supply tightness for importers. Renewed grain exports would add supply and could weigh on wheat prices.
After 80 past bearish geopolitics events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median -0.4% over 5 sessions (44% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.9%), and -0.5% over 20.
