# Australian malting barley ceiling falls, feed floor lifts - Grain Central

> Grain Central reports that Australian malting barley exports to China were hurt by China's tariff imposed in May 2020, while feedgrain demand is rising. CBH says China's corn consumption of about 295Mt exceeds its roughly 260Mt production, requiring imports and stock drawdowns.
