First impact
Black Sea Wheat (Russia & Ukraine Exports) →Shortage riskBlack Sea wheat is a critical input to bread/grains/flour, and Black Sea shipping disruptions sharply cut Russian grain shipments, tightening downstream supply.
89% confidenceBlack Sea Wheat (Russia & Ukraine Exports) →DelaysRussia accounts for 26% of this node, and the shift away from southern ports delays Russian export flows as Baltic and Arctic terminals take over part of the cargo.
87% confidenceCereal Grain (Oats / Corn / Wheat / Rice) →DelaysRussia's grain export rerouting can stretch inbound grain lead times and disrupt replenishment for a highly grain-dependent cereal category.

Breakfast cereal & grains →DelaysCereal Grain (Oats / Corn / Wheat / Rice)
Breakfast cereal & grains is heavily dependent on cereal grain input, so rerouting Russian grain exports through different ports is likely to lengthen lead times and raise logistics friction for that input.

General Mills discloses Walmart as its largest customer at 22% of consolidated net sales, so grain-related cost inflation can plausibly pass through to Walmart in the form of higher wholesale prices.
