# Australia on track for its third record harvest in a row thanks to Western Australia’s record 26Mt crop  | Countryman

> Australia is on track for a third consecutive record grain harvest, led by a record 26 million tonne crop in Western Australia. Flooding in New South Wales and Victoria has been partly offset by strong yields elsewhere. National wheat exports are forecast to reach a record 28 million tonnes in 2022-23.

## Why it matters

Large exportable supplies from Australia add competition for buyers in Asia and tend to weigh on wheat export prices. Strong demand from Southeast Asia and China limits how far prices fall.
