Is The Black Sea Becoming The World’s Next Trade Chokepoint? The Black Sea is emerging as a new global trade chokepoint as the Russia-Ukraine war increasingly spills into commercial shipping, ports and export infrastructure. Recent attacks on Novorossiysk port, one of Russia’s major export hubs, have raised concerns over disruptions to global grain, oil and energy supplies. Why does the Black Sea matter to the global economy? Russia and Ukraine are major exporters of wheat, barley, sunflower oil, fertilisers and energy, making the region critical for food security and commodity markets across Asia, Africa and Europe. The disruption could also have implications for India, with crude oil shipments from Russia’s Black Sea ports falling sharply and these ports accounting for a significant share of India’s Russian crude imports.
