European spring malting barley harvest has been largely traded, with France and Great Britain offering early at low prices. Qualities are inconsistent, yet the market assumes a surplus, with France estimated at 2.1 million tonnes and Denmark at 890,000 tonnes, while Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic require imports.
A European barley surplus with weak quality in some regions keeps feed and malting barley prices under pressure, while the import needs in Germany and Poland provide some support for cross-border flows.
