EA millers seek options as Baltic states plan blockade of Russian wheat

Wheat supplies to East Africa could be disrupted after the northeastern European nations Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania kicked off a petition to the European Union to block transit of Russian grain through the Baltic Sea.

If this push succeeds Kenyan and Tanzanian millers, who are already grappling with documentation delays and uncertain shipping routes, will register further shortages.
Russia has increasingly shifted grain exports to Baltic ports after disruptions in its traditional Black Sea and Sea of Azov routes by the war with Ukraine.
