Ukraine's agriculture minister Taras Vysotskyi said total agricultural losses from prolonged Black Sea port restrictions could reach $7.5 billion over the marketing year, including about $2.4 billion in extra logistics costs. Alternative routes add $50-70 per tonne, sometimes $80, and can move about 2.5 million tonnes a month against needs above 5 million.
Ukraine's inability to export through its seaports cuts available supply to world buyers and raises freight costs, supporting global wheat, corn and oilseed prices while pressuring farmgate prices in Ukraine.
