Risky Trade How much Ukraine produces, and exports are critical questions for global agricultural markets. With its own Black Sea ports blocked, some grain and oilseed products have moved westward via challenging logistics. Comvex, which operates the Romanian port of Constanta says a cargo of over 71 KMT of Ukrainian corn loaded this week, the first since Russia invaded Ukraine. And Bulgaria has offered Ukraine the use of its port of Varna, though that may require reviving Soviet-era railroad tracks. Either way, the risk to these shipping routes is the fact that Russia controls the Black Sea. This means any meaningful shipments could easily be harassed by Russian warships.

Illuminating the value of technical research
On behalf of a commodity producer organization, WPI evaluated the outputs from a project that featured a $5 million investment into technical research over multiple years. WPI’s team captured the results of this extensive effort and synthesized them for presentation to the organization’s governing board; among the findings uncovered and presented for the first time was the development of genomic traits proven, via rigorous testing, to provide crop yield advantages of 50 percent or more to U.S. farmers in times of drought. Capturing measurable results from long-term efforts can be challenging. Educating clients on the dynamics of success measurement when quantifiable results are not readily available requires deep client-consultant collaboration and an ability to consider both near- and long-term client aspirations with market/policy dynamics – attributes that WPI brings to every consulting engagement.
