Continued focus by the trade on finding alternative markets (feed mainly) to replace the lost Chinese demand is showing amazing results with exports at about 8 mln tonnes in each of crops 2021 and 2022.

Ending stocks move to a more manageable 2.1 mln tonnes at the end of crop 2023.

The east coast of Australia continues to receive beneficial rains, further benefiting soil moistures in advance of crop 2023 planting.

Australian barley prices are shifting lower as the nation stays competitive in an overall weaker global market.
