# Canadian barley exports surging on booming demand from China for beer | CBC News

> Canadian barley exports are rising sharply, with 240,000 tonnes shipped in May, of which about 175,000 tonnes went to China. China's tariffs on Australian barley have pushed buyers toward Canada, which has already exported nearly as much barley in 2020 as in all of last year.
