Australia's combined exports of wheat, barley, canola and sorghum rose 3.9% to 41.13 million tonnes in 2025/26, according to ABS data. Record barley shipments of 11.48 million tonnes offset lower wheat, canola and sorghum exports.
China was the largest buyer, taking 31% of eight major crop exports.
Record barley exports absorbed more Australian supply, while lower wheat and canola shipments tighten availability in those markets. China's dominant share of buying keeps Australian export prices sensitive to Chinese demand.
