# Australian grain production continues to rebound from drought   | World Grain

> The USDA Foreign Agricultural Service projects Australia's 2021-22 wheat production at 29.5 million tonnes, about 22% above the previous 10-year average, with exports slipping to 21.5 million tonnes. Barley production is estimated to fall 2.6 million tonnes to 10.5 million, as planted area shrinks following China's 80.5% duty on Australian barley.

## Why it matters

A larger Australian wheat crop with higher ending stocks is bearish for wheat, while lower barley output tightens feed barley supply and is supportive for barley prices.
