# Ukraine Grain Exports: Rail Capacity and Seaport Outlook

> ASAP Agri estimates Ukraine's agricultural exports in 2026/27 at 29 to 47 million tonnes, depending on whether Greater Odesa ports resume operations. Rail has spare capacity of about 1.4 to 1.5 million tonnes per month but needs more wagons and faster turnaround.

## Why it matters

Port closures keep a large share of Ukrainian grain off the sea route, tightening export supply and supporting Black Sea wheat and corn prices, while rail constraints limit how much can be rerouted.
