# Tasmania smashes harvest record - Grain Central

> Tasmania's three main winter crops (wheat, barley and canola) reached a record 153,000 tonnes in 2022-23, up 47% from the previous record of 103,800t, according to ABARES estimates. Good seasons, new varieties and agronomic guidance from the Hyper Yielding Crops project drove the gain. The surge is also increasing demand for private storage and supply chains because Tasmania has no public bulk-handling system.

## Why it matters

Larger local supply in a small state adds modestly to Australian wheat and barley availability for export, which is mildly bearish for those prices. The effect on world prices is limited because Tasmania's volumes are small.
