Wheat exportsfrom Ukraine and Russia are still being blocked by Russia from leaving the Black Sea, Germany's largest agricultural trader BayWa said last week.
"Zero [grain] is currently being exported from the ports of Ukraine — nothing is leaving the country at all," Jörg-Simon Immerz, head of the grain trading at BayWa, tolddpa news agency.

BayWa, meanwhile, believes there is no reason to fear a wheat shortage as much more wheat is harvested in the EU than is consumed.
