Ukraine became the EU’s largest barley supplier for the first 17 weeks of the current season, exporting 69,830 tonnes through October 25. Shipments were 3.7 times higher than a year earlier, lifting Ukraine’s share of EU barley imports to 30.9%; total EU imports rose 21.3% to 225,960 tonnes.
The surge in Ukrainian shipments increases barley availability for EU buyers and intensifies competition among suppliers, which may weigh on prices. Higher EU imports also point to stronger import demand over the period.
