# Australia's milling sector consolidates

> The International Grains Council put Australia's 2022-23 wheat production at 30.6 million tonnes, up from 29.9 million tonnes in its previous estimate. Exports are unchanged, and domestic flour-milling use is steady at 3.5 million tonnes. Flour output is estimated at about 2.1 million tonnes, with about 60% sold for human consumption.

## Why it matters

A stable domestic milling base and unchanged exports mean the production upgrade adds to available supply for export. The impact on global prices is small.
