From July 1 to October 25 of the 2026/27 season, Ukraine shipped 69,830 tonnes of barley to the EU, 3.7 times the volume recorded in the same period last year. Ukraine’s market share rose to 30.9%, ahead of Moldova and the United Kingdom, while total EU barley imports increased 21.3% year over year to 225,960 tonnes.
The larger Ukrainian flow increases competition among suppliers in the EU barley market and adds to available import supply, which may weigh on prices for competing origins. EU imports remain well below the 2024/25 level.
