# Exports through Black Sea ports may not resume before July 1, 2027

> Ukraine's Agrarian Policy Ministry is planning for a scenario in which full access to Black Sea ports is unavailable until the new marketing year starting July 1, 2027. The minister said there is no confirmation of a reopening date and that logistics costs are the main reason for low domestic prices, with about 60 million tonnes of grain available against roughly 30 million tonnes exportable.

## Why it matters

A prolonged port closure keeps a large Ukrainian grain surplus off world markets, which supports global wheat and corn prices in the near term. It also widens the domestic-to-world price gap, with logistics costs absorbing most of the margin.
