Ukraine's Grain Exports Blockade Threatens Next Year's Planting
Russia's ongoing blockade of Ukraine's Black Sea ports is putting next year's planting season at risk. The country's largest grain exporter, Kernel, reports that exports have fallen to less than 10% of their pre-blockade levels, leading to a buildup of this year's wheat and corn harvest. Farmers may leave up to 20% of fields unplanted next year if the situation does not improve, threatening global food supplies. The grain crisis could continue until 2027 if exports remain paralyzed.5 sourcesSee all sources
