Barley harvest is beginning in Australia’s Mallee, with reports of excellent yields after a season that had raised concerns about dryness. Growers face low prices and high production costs, while expected competition from renewed Russian and Ukrainian exports could overlap with Australia’s export season; domestic livestock demand and Chinese buying offer some support.
Strong Australian yields and more Black Sea export supply could weigh on barley prices, while local feed demand and Chinese purchases may limit the downside. High production costs leave growers needing roughly 4 tonnes per hectare to break even.
