USDA FAS forecasts Australian barley production to rise 4.4% to a record 17.7 million tonnes in 2026/27, with exports projected at a record 13 million tonnes. Increased planting, favorable weather in southern regions, higher input costs for competing crops, and concern about El Niño-related rainfall deficits have influenced acreage decisions; wheat production is forecast to fall 11% to 32 million tonnes.
Record barley output and exports could weigh on Australian barley prices during harvest, while strong export demand—especially from China—may limit the decline. Lower wheat production than last year could lend some support to wheat, although projected exports remain historically high.
