# Implications of Ukrainian-Russian tensions on global barley trade

> Market analysts estimate global barley exports at 34.7 million tonnes for 2021-22, with Ukraine and Russia accounting for about 30%. Ukrainian barley exports had reached 5.57 million tonnes by February 21, and Russia had shipped 2.9 million tonnes by March 10. The war threatens Ukraine's spring barley sowing, which makes up 55% of its barley area, so the impact is expected mainly in the next marketing year.
