Canada: For 2004-2005, Canada’s barley exports are forecast by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) to decrease by 24% from 2003-2004 to 1.85 million tonnes due mainly to lower selection rates for malting barley, AAFC published on February 7. Carry-out stocks are forecast to rise to the burdensome level of 3.7 million tonnes.

In 2003-2004 Canada exported 2.45 million tonnes of barley. Carry-out stocks of barley were 2.11 million tonnes in 2003-2004
