Ukrainian Wheat Exports Remain Strong Despite Odesa Port Disruptions

Ukrainian wheat exports remain in high demand despite Russia's attacks on the Greater Odesa ports, which have effectively halted grain shipments through these key facilities.

According to UkrAgroConsult, a deal for 11.5% protein wheat was confirmed on July 26 at $262/ton CIF Alexandria, demonstrating continued interest in Ukrainian wheat from international buyers.

The export flow has been redirected through Ukraine's Danube ports, with onward shipments via Romania's Port of Constanța.

However, the Danube route faces significant limitations due to low water levels, which are around 1.5 meters below normal, allowing only shallow-draft vessels to operate and restricting export capacity.
