Jeonnam-Gwangju and Jeonbuk will advise farmers to limit 2027 barley planting, recommending naked barley contract production only where sales channels are secured. Farmers are also being encouraged to switch to wheat or winter forage; the guidance follows a previous expansion in barley area that caused oversupply and sharp price declines, compounded by lower-tariff barley and malt imports.
Efforts to curb plantings could reduce Korean barley supply and support domestic prices, while switching acreage to wheat may modestly increase wheat production. The scale of the price effect depends on farmer uptake and import competition.
