I don't know what it looks like elsewhere, but I found a Grain Transportation Report for the US that mentions that "In 2020, containers were used to transport 10 percent of total U.S. waterborne grain exports." https://www.ams.usda.gov/sites/default/files/media/GTR03172022.pdf https://www.ams.usda.gov/sites/default/files/media/GTR031720... I think wheat is usually bulk, not containers. I live in Portland, Oregon, that has one of the top US grain export ports and for a while there was no container traffic here. I recall the reporting mentioning that things like buckwheat and lentils shipped in containers and had to be sent to Washington and couldn't make use of the barges that brought stuff from Idaho into Portland but wheat used the bulk transport. Whenever there are major disruptions like this, I wonder how much of the increase is just due to various people saying "we know people will be desperate, let's raise the price as much as we can" (or a system of indirection that accomplishes the same to make it seem less like that on an individual level).
