# Import demand for malting barley increasing in Europe

> European malting barley supply is tight, with drought reducing spring malting quality and yields. Expected exports from Europe are around 500,000t versus the usual 1.0 Mt, while UK surplus of about 300,000t falls short of normal demand. River and logistics problems in Europe further complicate trade.
