Occupied-Territory Farmers See Grain Pile Up as Carriers Refuse Routes Under Shelling Risk

Summary
Grain is piling up in warehouses across Ukraine's occupied territories because carriers are refusing to collect harvests on routes exposed to shelling, the National Resistance Center said.
That transport freeze is choking sales for farmers and agricultural enterprises, leaving them unable to move crops promptly and cutting off cash needed for day-to-day operations.
Fuel, seed and fertilizer purchases are now at risk, raising the threat to the next sowing campaign as occupation authorities offer no workable solution.
The disruption follows earlier reports that some agricultural enterprises in occupied areas had already stopped paying wages because they could not sell products, with civilian logistics also strained by Russian military use.
