Tridge summary

The Australia Bureau of Statistics has released the September international trade data for the 2020-21 marketing year, revealing robust grain exports despite production issues in major countries. The total exports of wheat, barley, sorghum, and canola reached 36.336 million tonnes. March was the only month to exceed 4 million tonnes in exports. The busiest port was Fremantle/Kwinana, and Western Australia was the biggest wheat export state. Indonesia, Vietnam, China, and the Philippines were the top buyers of Australian wheat. Barley exports were led by Saudi Arabia, with Vietnam and Japan as the next biggest buyers. Canola exports were primarily to European Union nations, led by Germany. Sorghum exports were dominated by China, with Kenya and Japan as the next biggest buyers. The flush 2021 harvest has pushed the harvest back, meaning old crop grain will continue to dominate exports until December.
