EU: Malting barley prices come down again

European malting market prices came down again, being affected by lower feed barley and wheat markets, GrainCom reported on February 8.

French co-ops sold again lots of feed barley, price lost around € 20/tonne in a short period of time.

New crop malting barley prices are also a bit lower, in sympathy with old crop prices.

Some brewers and maltsters are slowly coming back to the market, and some business in winter and spring malting barley took place, mostly for crop 2019, industry sources reported.
