# Australia to increase wheat and barley crops

> Australia plans to increase wheat area by 1-3% and barley area by 3-15% in 2024/25, while canola plantings could fall 4-20%. Projected production is 26 to 29.9 million tons of wheat, 11.5 to 12.8 million tons of barley, and 4.6 to 5 million tons of canola. Favorable weather and Chinese demand drive the shift.
