Ukraine's agricultural policy minister Taras Vysotskyi said the inability to export through Black Sea ports could cost the agricultural sector $7.5 billion over the marketing year. He estimated direct losses of at least $5 billion plus about $2.4 billion in extra logistics costs, as alternative routes add roughly $80 per tonne.
The government is preparing support mechanisms and plans to seek EU financing.
A near-halt in Ukrainian grain exports removes a major source of world wheat and corn supply, supporting global prices, while higher alternative-route costs widen the spread between Ukrainian and world prices. Farmers facing losses may also reduce marketing, tightening export availability.
