Agriculture and Food Innovation - University of Queensland

> The Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation forecasts a below-average Queensland winter crop, with state wheat yield at 1.53 t/ha, 19% below the long-term median. September rainfall was below average in southeast Queensland, and climate models point to a La Niña pattern continuing into the summer.

## Why it matters

A smaller Queensland wheat crop reduces Australian export availability, modestly supporting wheat prices, though the shortfall is regional and not large enough to move world markets much.
