# Barley price breakthrough - Grain Central

> Australian barley prices have risen over the past two months, with Kwinana up 15%, Geelong 10% and Port Kembla 13%. Exporters are sourcing demand from France and others since losing access to China, and Australian barley trades at a substantial discount to French barley and to local wheat.

## Why it matters

Export demand is being diverted away from China, so Australian barley is priced at a discount to competing origins, which supports feed buyers sourcing cheaper barley but limits upside to prices.
