# Barley prices hit hard by harvest pressure | Stock Journal | SA

> South Australian barley prices have fallen from about A$355/t before harvest to lows near A$273/t at Outer Harbour, below last season's harvest low. ABARES raised SA barley production to 2.66 million tonnes, up 18% year on year, and forecasts the second-largest SA barley harvest on record.

## Why it matters

Heavier supply and grower selling push Australian barley lower, and cheap Aussie barley may attract Asian and Middle East feed demand. Malt premiums have eased as quality improved, so prices may consolidate once harvest selling slows.
