Sweden: 2006 malting barley exports forecasted at zero

According to H. Abildstrøm & Co. ApS report of September 10, one can exclude Sweden as malting barley exporter this year. Poor harvesting conditions in the south after drought damage has wiped out the malting barley surplus which would normally be exported and merchants will be struggling to cover domestic demand.

Nominal prices for January in Denmark and Sweden are now between €/ton 166 and 170.
