# WASDE factors in deteriorating Australian crop outlook - Grain Central

> The September WASDE cut Australia's 2019/20 wheat crop by 2 million tonnes to 19 million tonnes, with large areas of NSW and southern Queensland left unplanted because of drought. Global wheat production was trimmed to 765.5 million tonnes. Barley output was raised sharply by larger crops in Canada, the EU, Russia and Ukraine.

## Why it matters

Drought-reduced Australian supply tightens the global wheat export balance and lowers Australian trade flows. Larger northern barley crops offset some of that support for barley.
