World: The import demand of malting barley in the world will depend on China

The import demand of malting barley in the world outside the EU is 2.9 to 3.4 million tonnes.

The final figure will depend on China, which imported 2.2 million tonnes in 2006.

Canada will export 1.2 to 1.3 million tonnes, trifles will come from Australia, Argentina and the EU, but it is unclear, where a short of 1.0 to 1.5 million tonnes can be covered, not counting the short inside the EU.
