# Malting barley exports are frothy | The Western Producer

> Canadian barley exports reached 925,300 tonnes through week 27, up 85% year on year, mostly malting barley for China's beer market. Exporters expect full-year shipments of 2.8 to 2.9 million tonnes, above the government's 2.45 million forecast. Analysts doubt the strong demand will lift malt prices much given the large good-quality crop.
