ABARES's December quarterly report puts Australia's 2017-18 winter crop at 35.1 million tonnes, down 41% year on year. Yields are expected to be well below average, with the steepest declines in New South Wales and Queensland, partly offset by Western Australia.
A roughly 41% drop in Australian winter grain output removes a major export supply source and supports feed grain and wheat prices in export markets.
