The global barley market is currently stable due to falling grain prices and economic uncertainties, with the USDA raising the world barley production estimate for this season to 151.6 million tons. However, a slight global reduction in area and production is expected for the 2023/24 campaign, which could lead to instability in the barley system under climatic or political contingencies. Meanwhile, negotiations between China and Australia are ongoing to resolve their conflict and tariff restrictions, which could impact the world barley trade. In Argentina, the sowing area for the 2023/24 campaign is predicted to be similar to the previous seasons, with export values for the 2022/23 campaign being $270/ton for malting barley and $230/ton for feed barley, while values for the 2023/24 campaign are projected to be $205/210/ton for January 2024.
