# Barley market prospects - Dairy Producer

> Alberta analysts note barley prices have not recovered seasonally after harvest, as Canadian bulk barley exports to mid-January run near half of last year's pace. Australian exports to China resumed after China dropped its 80.5% tariff in August 2023, outcompeting Canadian barley. Feed users shifted to corn, wheat and oats.

## Why it matters

Lost Chinese export demand for Canadian barley and substitution toward corn leave feed barley prices under pressure. Buyers have room to negotiate on barley through spring.
