# Australian sorghum crop of more than 2.5 million tonnes set to be the largest in 14 years | Queensland Country Life | QLD

> Australia's 2022 sorghum crop is expected to exceed 2.5 million tonnes, the largest in 14 years. Prices are holding in the mid $290s a tonne delivered to the Darling Downs, and domestic feed buyers show little interest at current levels. A crop this size would need a large export program, mainly to China.

## Why it matters

A larger Australian crop adds export supply in a market where China is the main buyer, which tends to cap sorghum prices and makes it cheaper for feed users to substitute wheat or barley.
