According to sources from Reuters, since the beginning of the new season until mid-August 2026, the volume of applications for grain transportation to Russian ports in the Baltic Sea has already reached 5 million tons. For comparison, this figure for Novorossiysk and Tuapse is about 6 million tons. In addition, Russian exporters are increasingly considering the possibility of using the ports of the Baltic States — primarily Latvia. It is expected that the volume of such shipments may sharply increase as early as September. **There is currently no such information in the port of Liepaja** In turn, representatives of the Liepaja Special Economic Zone informed the LETA agency that the port currently has no information about the planned increase in Russian grain cargoes. Currently, there is active transshipment of locally sourced grain there. At the same time, the Liepaja SEZ emphasized that the export and transit of Russian cargoes are strictly regulated by European Union norms, which determine which operations are permitted and which are prohibited. Therefore, any such shipments must be carried out in accordance with the existing regulations and approvals from the responsible authorities.
