South Australia's Primary Industries and Regions SA forecasts a 2023-24 winter crop of 8.8 million tonnes, down 33% from last year's record 12.8 million. Barley area continues to shrink in favour of wheat, and concern remains about a drier late winter and spring linked to an El Niño alert.
A one-third drop in South Australian winter grain supply tightens feed grain availability, supporting barley and wheat prices for export buyers.
