Saudi Arabia's grain agency has bought 5.4 million tonnes of barley so far this marketing year, about 17% above last year, but has not issued a barley import tender since early November 2018. Abundant winter pasture from above-average rainfall may cut Saudi feed demand by up to 800,000 tonnes.
A likely drop in Saudi imports removes a key source of global barley demand, which keeps export prices under pressure.
