Officials are also seeking solutions to get Ukraine’s growing stockpiles of grain moving again since full silos must be emptied ahead of the harvest. Kyiv has accused Russia of seizing Ukrainian grain, an allegation backed by the U.S. State Dept,which sent cables to several govts in recent weeks urging them against accepting Ukrainian grain allegedly looted by Russia. Moscow denies the accusations.
Ukrainian government officials said the country was negotiating with neighbors such as Poland, Romania and Hungary to improve railway links to be able to export more. Some of the grain was being moved by road, they said, but the capacity for thatfreight was much smaller and more expensive.
Most Ukrainian exporters are now using railways to Poland to move their grain and other agricultural products, as well as the Romanian port of Constanta, according to officials and grain producers.
A Romanian government official said his country’s ports couldn’t replace the volume of traffic that is being rerouted from Ukrainian ports, due partly to capacity issues and because Romania had its own grain to export.
Poland has doubled the transit capacity at its border crossings with Ukraine to increase the flow of grain, according to Michal Dworczyk, chief of staff to the Polish PM.
Cary Fowler, the U.S. special envoy for global food security, said the crisis “that we’re experiencing now is not one that is going to go away in the next few weeks [or] months.”

"GRAINS-U.S. wheat falls to pre-Ukraine war levels; corn, soy also drop" https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/grains-u.s.-wheat-falls-to-pre-ukraine-war-levels-corn-soy-also-drop
