Canada: Barley exports in August-April total 1.75 mln tonnes

Canada’s barley exports in August-April 2018/19 were 1.75 mln tonnes, of which 1.27 mln tonnes to China and 0.3 mln tonnes to Japan, H. M. Gauger GmbH said in their July report.

As per StatsCan June survey, barley plantings are 7.4 mln ha vs. 7.15 mln ha last year. The largest barley provinces are Alberta with 3.5 mln and Saskatchewan with 3.15 mln ha.

IGC forecasts a crop of 9.3 mln tonnes vs. 8.4 mln in 2018. Recent rains saved the Prairies barley crop from a disaster, but parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan are still dry and need rainfalls to continue.

The Lethbridge feed markets were tight all year long, drove feed barley prices up to around C$290 and needed large imports of U.S. corn. As corn prices look firm for the campaign to come, barley will be in good demand, likely to increase price levels for maltsters and exporters, the Gauger analysts believe.
