In Brazil, industry observers report wide differences of crop estimates - from 250 to 350,000 tonnes and a high selection of malting barley. Local demand is estimated at 850,000 tonnes, import deficit may total 500 to 600,000 tonnes.
Demand of Chile/Colombia/Ecuador/Peru is 500,000 tonnes, net surplus in South America is seen thus at a few hundred thousand tonnes.
