China's barley purchases have more than doubled due to poor crops in Australia and Europe, and it could buy 1 MMT of Canadian barley this year. USDA puts the European barley crop at 59 MMT and Australia's at 8 MMT, both the smallest in five years.
The EU expects a smaller barley crop and a possible 500 KMT malting barley shortfall.
Rising Chinese import demand combined with the smallest European and Australian crops in five years tightens export supplies and supports barley prices.
