Ukraine's Black Sea ports lose a third of grain export capacity, farmers' union says

Ukraine’s farmers’ union says Russia’s strikes have cut grain export capacity at the country’s Black Sea ports by about a third. The disruption is linked to terminal shutdowns and continuing problems such as power outages and damaged logistics links that affect both loading and onward transport. With some central ports unable to operate normally for a second week, traders face uncertainty over shipping schedules and storage risks. The union warned that the ongoing disruptions are worsening bottlenecks for contracted wheat exports.
