US: Barley exports up 6% over 2009/10 as of April 21

As of April 21, U.S. exports of barley, corn and sorghum are tracking close to 2009/2010 export levels despite increases in grain prices, U.S. Grain Council reports.

For barley, accumulated exports plus outstanding sales total 100,700 metric tons (4.6 million bushels), a 6 percent increase over last year.

That reflects major successes moving barley into Morocco and Tunisia, two markets that had purchased no barley last year, the Council said.
