# Ukraine could export up to 30 mln tonnes of grain a year without Odesa ports, UKRPORT says

> Ukrzaliznytsia official Valerii Tkachov said alternative routes via rail, Danube ports and road can handle 2-2.5 mln tonnes per month, or 24-30 mln tonnes per year. Around 18.8 mln tonnes of grain were moved by rail for export in nine months, against an expected annual export of about 50 mln tonnes. Roughly 20 mln tonnes could slip into the next season.

## Why it matters

Capacity limits on alternative routes mean a large share of Ukrainian grain exports may be delayed, tightening near-term Black Sea supply and supporting wheat and corn prices, with the backlog shifting to next season.
