Dry conditions in Queensland and northern NSW have left eastern Australian wheat and barley prices at premiums to world parity, keeping most of the region's new crop from export. Feedlots, pig and poultry operations are driving demand for wheat and barley over sorghum.
Frost damage and poor yields have reduced crop potential, and growers are holding grain rather than selling.
Tight domestic supply and strong local feed demand support Australian wheat and barley prices, and push sorghum to a discount. Feed buyers in eastern Australia face higher barley and wheat costs.
