> Australian barley bids for 2025-26 have eased to about A$300 a tonne at Port Adelaide, down $8-$15 a tonne from July as seasonal conditions improved. Black Sea barley is offered near US$220 a tonne, and Australian barley has lost its position as the world's most expensive feed grain. Global feed grain production forecasts are rising.
