# Declining Prices and Reduced Demand Impact Ukraine's Barley Exports Amid Rising EU Imports

> Ukraine’s barley exports fell to 34,000 tonnes in October 2026, from 216,000 tonnes a year earlier, and marketing-year exports totaled 482,000 tonnes versus 1.89 million tonnes last year. Despite the overall decline, Ukraine’s shipments to the EU rose 3.7-fold from July to October, giving it a 30.9% share of the European barley market and making it the largest supplier. Domestic feed barley prices declined amid ample supply and weak buying, while processors limited purchases.

## Why it matters

Lower Ukrainian export volumes and weaker feed demand point to looser barley availability and downward price pressure. Increased shipments to the EU redirect some supply into that market, potentially adding competition for other exporters.
