This week, despite limited supply in the ports of Ukraine, feed barley is becoming cheaper. This was reported by analysts from "APK-Inform". As noted, in the ports of Greater Odesa, the demand prices for feed barley decreased by $2-6/t and as of April 15 were within $210-220/t CPT-port. At the same time, in the ports of the Danube, purchase prices fell by $2-4/t to $210-218/t CPT-port. As the analysts clarified, the price decrease was facilitated by the low demand from exporters, who often suspended purchases of barley from the 2025 harvest and were monitoring the development of new crop sowing in the Northern Hemisphere. At the same time, farmers were in no hurry to reduce supply prices, as they were waiting for prices to improve. As noted, China is currently a fairly active buyer of barley, but there is a lot of competition in this direction, which leads to additional price pressure.
