> ABARES's September Australian Crop Report forecasts the 2019-20 winter crop at 33.9 million tonnes, up 11% on last year but 16% below the 10-year average and revised down 7% since June.

## Why it matters

A deeper-than-average Australian crop trims export supply and supports feed grain and wheat prices, with more imports likely to be needed in the east.
