#Black Sea Ports

The Russian blockade of Black Sea ports threatens the 2027 planting campaign: Ukrainian farmers will not be able to finance spring work, risking a reduction in production by 12 million tons of grain and a blow to global food markets.

📉 Iron ore exports from Ukraine plummeted by 27.3% in the first 7 months of 2026. The cause was a 'triple blow': new EU duties, the CBAM environmental tax, and the blockade of ports by Russia. The tragedy with the bulk carrier 'Golden Leo' finally undermined the confidence of shipping companies. Experts predict the shutdown of 50% of industry enterprises. #Economy #Ukraine #Metallurgy

Ukraine aims to maintain grain export levels at last season's rate despite port attacks. About a third of capacity has already been lost, but authorities promise to do everything possible to protect logistics. 🌾🚢
