EU: EU malt export license bookings from July to October

EU malt export license bookings from July 1 till October 25, 2005, were 658,000 tones, 210,000 tones or 24 % less than at the same date last year.

The total includes approx. 649,000 tones of Pilsen and 9,000 tones of roasted malt. Converted into a (hypothetical) year figure, the export volume of Pilsen malt would reach 1.95 Million tones, 270,000 tones less than in 2004/05 and even 530,000 tones below the figure of 2003/04.

The German newspaper "Ernährungsdienst" even dared a guesstimate of 600,000 tones less exports in the span of two years.
