# Barley prices in the EU surpass wheat amid surging global demand

> Feed barley prices in Western Europe and the Baltic have risen to roughly equal wheat, at USD 221 to 226 per tonne FOB for December loading. Black Sea barley is higher at USD 227 to 229. Limited farm stocks, recent purchases by Algeria, Tunisia and Turkey, and a Jordan tender that received no offers are keeping the market firm.

## Why it matters
