# UK barley export volumes confined by quality concerns - Farmers Weekly

> AHDB's 2024 Cereals Quality Survey found GB barley nitrogen content fell to 1.45%, the lowest spring barley level since records began. Higher moisture and a strong sterling against the euro make British barley less competitive on export markets. Ex-farm feed barley averaged £148.5/t, down £11/t year on year.

## Why it matters

Weaker quality and a stronger pound reduce UK barley export demand, which can soften domestic feed barley prices. Buyers may find more supply available at lower cost.
