> Australian exporters are finding solid demand for barley, and feed barley prices at Geelong rose $10 a tonne from mid-January lows to $164. Container barley shipments from Victoria increased sharply, and China imported 561,000 tonnes of Australian barley in January, its largest monthly total in two years.
