# Low exports and a reduction in barley sowings in Ukraine

> Ukrainian barley exports are at critically low levels, with just over 13,000 tonnes shipped in the first nine days of November against monthly needs of 300,000-350,000 tonnes. Winter barley area is expected to fall below the 2022 record low, and carry-over stocks could reach 2-3 million tonnes.

## Why it matters

Export backlogs and a shrinking barley area point to large carry-over stocks, which would press Black Sea feed barley prices lower into next season. Reduced plantings could eventually tighten supply, but near-term pressure is bearish.
