Australian malting barley exports to China are under pressure as Chinese buyers prioritise cheaper fair average quality barley for domestic malting. Australia shipped 4.02 Mt of feed barley and 980,934 t of malting barley to China in the nine months to June 30, 2025, with feed up and malting down year on year.
A shift in Chinese demand toward feed-grade barley supports feed barley volumes but squeezes premium malt margins, adding downside risk for Australian barley prices.
