France: Winter barley values declining on news of good crop

French winter malting barley values are declining on news of an abundant and quality crop, La Depeche reported on July 25.

Industry sources reported several deals closed on winter malting barley of crop 2014, but activity is calmer on spring barley markets. Industry players are waiting for information on the crop’s quality and quantity before making or accepting any offers. Between 15% and 20% of the nation’s spring barley acreage had been harvested as of July 25. The situation on the 2015 crop activity is obscure, La Depeche said.
