# Oats comes out as an export success | The Scottish Farmer

> UK oat stocks are expected to fall 11% year-on-year to 98,000 tonnes, partly due to a smaller crop. The UK is a net oat exporter for a second season, with exports forecast at 60,000 tonnes against 35,000 tonnes of imports. Spanish demand has been strong, with 29,000 tonnes shipped so far, the largest volume since 2008/09.

## Why it matters

Tighter UK supplies and firm export demand support oat prices. Larger winter oat plantings in Scotland could cap that support at the next harvest.
