Russian ports exported 2.3 million tons of grain in October, three times less than a year earlier. The main blow fell on wheat: its shipments fell 3.1 times, to 2 million tons. It still accounts for the vast majority of grain exports via port infrastructure, so the decline in this supply has set the overall dynamic. At the same time, there was a sharp change in the geography of shipments. Exporters shifted some of their flows to the Baltic East and the Far East. During the year, the share of these ports in the total scope of supply rose from 2.4 to 65.3% - by 62.9 percentage points. In other words, routes that used to be only a small part of the traffic became major routes. However, the redistribution of cargoes did not compensate for the overall decrease in volumes. The October statistics show two simultaneous processes: the reduction of grain exports through the ports and an accelerated change in its export directions. For market participants, not only sales volumes are important now, but also the ability to restructure logistics for new routes.
