# Malt barley market still sluggish | Stock Journal | SA

> Australian malt barley remains sluggish as the steep discount to world prices persists, with Australian feed barley bids around US$265-270 FOB in December versus about US$368 equivalent for French barley sold to China. Global feed barley trade is set for a three-year low, mainly due to weaker Chinese purchases, while Australian malt exports rose 32% year on year from a small base.

## Why it matters

Chinese anti-dumping duties keep Australian barley priced at a deep discount, and new markets only partly offset lost Chinese demand, so price recovery depends on duty removal.
