# One year on, what has been the impact of China's tariff on barley? - Grain Central

> Grain Central's Andrew Whitelaw marks one year since China imposed tariffs of 80.5% on Australian barley following an anti-dumping investigation. Barley prices fell 17% in May 2020 and a further 3% in June, but have since held above the 50th percentile. Australian markets have diversified as a result.

## Why it matters

Losing China's barley demand forced Australian exports into other markets, and Chinese demand for coarse grains has kept Australian barley prices supported by proxy. Unless China changes course or a WTO ruling comes through, the tariff's effects on barley trade flows are expected to persist.
