Russia is urgently looking for export routes outside of Black Sea ports. According to analysts, grain exporters are beginning to divert goods to the Baltic Sea, which may ease supply pressure on the global market. According to industry data, during the export season from July 2025 to June 2026, Russia exported 46.3 million tons of food through the ports of the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea, accounting for 90% of Russia's total maritime grain exports. Russia's Baltic ports, on the other hand, only export about 1 million tons of grain. Industry insiders said that as of August 18, Russia's demand for rail grain transportation at Baltic Sea ports this season has reached 5 million tons, mainly for export deliveries in August and September, while the demand for grain transportation in the Black Sea ports Novorossiysk and Tuapsieh is only 6 million tons.
