CBH Group's trading manager said WA barley area could fall further from 2021 if China stays out of the Australian barley market. GIWA's latest estimate puts WA planted barley area at 1.62Mha, down from last year's record 1.9Mha after China's tariff.
Lower Australian barley area and China's absence widen the barley-wheat spread, which supports barley prices and shifts feed demand toward wheat and other feed grains.
