Cuba says tighter US energy restrictions have disrupted oil supplies from Venezuela, leaving 1,400 megawatts of generating capacity offline and worsening shortages nationwide. The government says wheat processing and logistics have been hit, cutting bread supplies to about half of pre-restriction levels. A UN plan has been slowed by bottlenecks, with 2,900 metric tons of food assistance and seven shipments of newborn supplies stuck in transit, and wheat purchases facing payment and logistical hurdles. The disruption has directly strained Cuba’s wheat supply chain and regional marginal crude supply, without involving major global producers or core export routes.

India’s soybean meal exports fell about 63.50% year on year to 50,000 tonnes in May, as domestic prices stayed well above those in major exporters such as the US, Brazil and Argentina. Shipments to Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Oman also stopped after the West Asia crisis, according to the Soybean Processors Association of India. Analysts said an agreement to end the 107-day conflict between the US and Iran has helped ease pressure on global markets.
