# Barley: Will lower availability actually influence prices? - Mundus Agri

> Bulgarian farmers planted 19.5% less barley for the 2017-18 season than in 2015-16, but barley trade has been sluggish. Exports have lagged 35.2% behind last year's shipments, and local sentiment shows no short-term change.

## Why it matters

Smaller planted area is offset by weak export demand and regional competition, so the near-term price effect is limited and tilts bearish.
