Latvian Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs announced on Monday that the government plans to impose 300% tariffs on grain imports from Russia and Belarus, according to reports by Reuters.

The move follows increased Russian grain shipments through Baltic ports after Ukraine’s drone attacks disrupted Moscow’s Black Sea and Sea of Azov routes. Officials in Latvia and neighboring Lithuania had previously said they were considering halting Russian grain transits through their ports. Analysts and traders noted that Russian exporters have been routing grain via Latvia, an EU and NATO member, to reach other markets.

Between July 2025 and June 2026, Russia exported 46.3 million metric tons of grain through Black Sea and Sea of Azov ports, accounting for 90% of its total maritime grain exports, industry data showed. A ban or high tariffs could block a key alternative route for Russian grain amid the Black Sea disruptions.
