Argentine barley shipments to China have resumed after a three-year lull, driven by China's trade dispute with Australia. Argentina is on track for at least 250,000 tonnes this year and a record 380,000 tonnes in 2021.
Argentine feed barley has mainly gone to Saudi Arabia, while its malting barley has gone to South American brewers.
Chinese demand for Argentine barley adds a new source of export demand that could support Argentine barley prices. It also tightens competition for feed barley in other import markets.
