Russia's Black Sea Shipping Disruptions Hit Western Canadian Grain Prices

Shipping disruptions in Russia's shallow-water ports on the Black Sea have continued since July 10 due to drone strikes in the area, according to market sources. This has impacted grain exports from these regions.

The impact of this disruption is reflected in the current grain prices in Western Canada. As of July 29, 2026, the average grain prices at various areas in Western Canada are as follows: Wheat (13.25 CAD/MT), Barley (11.50 CAD/MT), and Canola (15.00 CAD/MT). These figures are provided by PDQ, which is owned by the Alberta Wheat Commission.

Producers are advised to check with several grain companies for the basis levels in their area, as prices may vary.
