Continued conflict and destruction in Ukraine are muddying the waters for the Black Sea region to resume ag exports.
University of Missouri ag economist Ben Brown says recent actions by Russia, including destroying Ukraine’s third largest port, don’t bode well for talks among world leaders to open a trade corridor from the region.
“We hear these stories of ‘hey, we’re (Russia) going to destroy a major port that potentially could play a large role in that corridor,” Brown said.
