FOB Black Sea grain prices, not a CIF stem

Buyers looking up Black Sea wheat FOB price, feed barley or maize usually need a load-port number first. The table below is that number: mid levels in USD per metric ton for 30k+ MT stems, printed 15 August 2026. It is not a sell offer and not a CIF landed cost. Freight sits in the second table so you can see the water separately from the grain.

Russian milling wheat 12.5% is the workhorse export grade out of the Black Sea. Ukrainian 11.5% is listed on its own row because origin and protein are not interchangeable in a miller’s spec, even when the mid prints at the same 222.5 USD/MT. Feed barley and corn are feed lots. Week Δ is versus the 8 August print — this week wheat 12.5% is down 5 dollars; Egypt and Jordan freight are the lines that moved.

For the January–August path of each series, open the price history. When you are ready to lift, request a firm stem with grade, volume, basis and discharge. Product pages still carry the commercial desk indicative; this board is the weekly market orientation only.
