# Russian Grain Exports Collapse: Baltic Ports Cannot Make Up the Losses

> Russia's seaborne grain exports fell to 2.3 million tonnes in October 2026, roughly one-third of the 7 million tonnes shipped a year earlier, according to the Russian Grain Union. Black Sea and Azov shipments nearly collapsed, while Baltic ports rose to about 1.56 million tonnes.

## Why it matters

A steep drop in Russian seaborne grain flows tightens wheat supply to importers such as Egypt and Iran, supporting global wheat prices. Rerouting through the Baltic has not offset the Black Sea loss.
