# Ukraine's barley exports to drop sharply in Sept due to falling demand from China - analysts

> FUAC analysts expect Ukraine's barley exports to more than halve in September from August, with contracts at 280,000 tonnes against 600,000 in August. The drop follows reduced Chinese purchases, which had made up 55-56% of Ukraine's barley exports. Analysts expect China to shift to Australian barley for delivery in December-January.
