Analysis of the June ABARES report says national winter crop output is forecast at 54.5 million tonnes, down 21% but 4% above the 10-year average. The drop is uneven, with NSW and Queensland down around 37-38% while SA and Victoria hold near average.
The Bureau of Meteorology puts a 60-80% chance on below-average winter rainfall.
Regional divergence and dry-weather risk leave the final crop uncertain, which keeps Australian grain export prices volatile. Buyers should watch rainfall for downside risk to the forecast.
