# Australia’s Grain Sector Finishes the Year Strong | Cargill Australia

> Cargill Australia reports that ABARES' December crop report forecasts one of Australia's largest winter harvests on record. Harvest is advanced in Queensland and northern New South Wales, while Western Australia faces a large crop and Victoria and South Australia have been slowed by cool, wet weather. Canola prices have eased after reports of record overseas production.

## Why it matters

Large Australian and global crops point to continued pressure on wheat and barley prices, with export demand into Asia the main support. Canola's decline reflects overseas supply rather than a change in Australian fundamentals.
