Black Sea Trade

The Black Sea trade refers to the exchange of goods, services, and resources through the Black Sea region, which includes countries like Turkey, Ukraine, Russia, and Romania. Historically, it has been a crucial maritime route for transporting commodities such as grain, oil, and metals, facilitating trade between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. The Black Sea's strategic location enhances its importance for shipping and regional commerce, while also influencing geopolitical dynamics, as access and control of trade routes can impact economies and relationships among neighboring countries.
