# Ukraine's Agriculture Ministry sees Black Sea port access possibly closed until July 2027

> Ukraine's Agriculture Minister Taras Vysotskyi said the ministry is planning for full Black Sea port access possibly not returning until July 1, 2027, and cannot confirm a timeline for resuming exports. He urged farmers to prepare for prolonged export restrictions, noting that selling is unprofitable in most cases and that Danube logistics are costly.

## Why it matters

A prolonged port closure keeps large Ukrainian grain volumes stuck inland, pressuring Ukrainian export prices and tightening global feed grain flows for importers, while Danube logistics costs raise the landed cost of shipments.
