# Demand from China puts Ukraine barley above top-end milling wheat - AgCanada

> Ukrainian 2021 harvest barley forward prices have exceeded high-quality milling wheat prices, at $220-$230 per tonne CPT Black Sea versus $218-$227 for wheat. China bought 2.7 million tonnes of Ukrainian barley from July 2020 to February 2021, against 800,000 tonnes a year earlier. APK-Inform says the spread is driven mainly by Chinese barley purchases.

## Why it matters

Heavy Chinese buying is pulling Black Sea barley above wheat, supporting barley prices and tightening exportable supplies. Feed buyers face higher barley costs as this demand continues.
