The prices of Australian barley have remained stable over the December 2022 harvest. The price of barley in Geelong as of January 6, 2022, was USD 240.65/MT, down by USD 1.35/MT from W52's price of USD 242/MT. The flat prices and additional quality issues brought by the wet season put pressure on exports as shipping stems are allocated to more profitable exports such as canola and wheat.
