## Prediction

Within the next week, the pattern of Russian strikes on Ukrainian food-industry facilities and Ukrainian attacks on Russian Black Sea ports raises the risk of further disruptions to grain and edible oil processing and export logistics. CBOT wheat, corn, and sunflower oil-linked markets are likely to see renewed upward pressure as traders price in potential capacity losses and shipping delays. Import-dependent MENA and Asian states will be particularly exposed to higher food inflation and subsidy burdens. Additional confirmed strikes on grain terminals, oilseed plants, or port silos would validate this outlook; a temporary lull in targeting such assets, possibly under quiet UN or Turkish mediation, could soften prices.

## Drivers

- Russian strikes on a Dnipro food-processing enterprise
- Ukrainian strikes on Novorossiysk and Makhachkala ports
- Warning that energy and port infrastructure is being systematically weaponized
