FACTBOX: Black Sea grain trade strained by escalating Russia-Ukraine conflict

The intensifying military conflict in the Black Sea has significantly hampered the logistics of grain exports from both Russia and Ukraine during the critical post-harvest period. Frequent strikes on port infrastructure and commercial vessels have severely diminished Ukraine's shipping capacity, with approximately one-third of its grain export potential reportedly neutralized by recent attacks on the Odesa region.
