# Up to $80 per tonne goes to logistics: Ministry prepares for closed ports until July 2027

> 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.

## Why it matters

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.
