# Australian crops improve, but well off recent records - AgCanada

> MarketsFarm reports that ABARES puts Australia's winter crop at 46.1Mt, up from 45.2Mt in September but 33% below last year's record. Harvest is progressing earlier and faster than usual, though late November rain has delayed operations in the east.

## Why it matters

The smaller crop supports export prices, but early harvest and the upward revision limit the upside. Rain-damaged unharvested grain could reduce quality.
