# Strong barley prices will continue in 2021 - Grainews

> Canadian feed barley has rallied nearly C$80/mt from harvest lows, and Canadian barley exports for the crop year to December 13 reached 1.5 million mt, up from 0.9 million a year earlier, mainly to China. China's tariffs on Australian barley of nearly 80% pushed Chinese buyers toward Canadian, French and Ukrainian origins.
