# Australian barley crop on track to be a bin buster! | Malt News | Asia Pacific

> The Australian barley industry is on track for a record 2025/26 crop, with national output forecast at 15.44 million tonnes, beating the 2020/21 high. Better-than-expected spring conditions lifted West Australian and South Australian estimates, while mixed conditions in eastern states temper some expectations. Harvest is early, with about 20% of the crop in the bin by early November.
