Grain freight rates from Ukrainian Danube ports rose sharply due to limited available tonnage and longer waiting times at the Sulina Canal. Short-haul handysize rates rose about $10/t in a week, while longer routes rose $20-25/t.
Barge rates rose about €5/t, and corn freight from the Danube to Egypt approached $100/t in early September.
Higher freight from the Danube raises landed costs for Ukrainian grain and narrows the export netback, supporting FOB prices for Black Sea origin feed grains.
