Romania's Black Sea port of Constanta has set a new record by shipping 29.4 million metric tons of grain in the first 10 months of the year. Ukraine, a major global grain exporter, contributed 40% to this record, using Constanta as a key export route since Russia's invasion last year. However, transit volumes from Ukraine have declined recently due to Russian strikes on its river ports and road border crossings. Despite the challenges, the Romanian government aims to double the monthly transit capacity for Ukrainian grain to 4 million tons, with ongoing infrastructure investments in Constanta and along the Danube. The United Nations has warned of potential impacts on Ukraine's wheat production if Black Sea export routes remain blocked and attacks on food infrastructure persist.
