EU: The flow of malting barley in the EU will change for this campaign, analysts say

Finnish maltsters succeeded to sell large quantities to Russia, at undisclosed prices, for delivery in 2005/06. The quantities are estimated by analysts to be around 30-40.000 metric tonnes. Finland has the advantage of identical rail gauges as Russia, their deliveries can continue in winter, when Baltic sea navigation, and especially the entrance to the port of St. Petersburg are hindered by ice. Inquiries are also in the market from Ukraine, Moldova and Armenia.
