0 Canada: Malting barley up CA$31 to CA$35 per tonne in first 2007-08 CWB Pool Return Outlook

Market projections

PRO Commentary
2007-08 crop year

Feed barley
Global feed barley import demand is projected to decline in 2007-08, due in part to better pasture prospects in parts of North Africa and the Middle East. Barley production is also projected to decrease in the Black Sea region, as spring barley area in the Ukraine is set to decline due to increased winter-wheat plantings last fall. Australian barley supplies are extremely tight and new production remains 10 months away from hitting the market. Barley production in the European Union is expected to increase, but the EU has not been aggressive in subsidizing exports. Canada's potential for feed barley exports will be influenced by the volume of the Canadian domestic crop and the level of offshore feed-barley values relative to our domestic market.

Designated barley
Overall, the malting barley market will remain relatively strong due to tight supplies and steady demand. The global malting barley trade is projected to increase due to stronger demand in China, where rising beer production will continue to increase malting barley ...

0 World: Ukraine’s export quota for barley helped to lower international prices

The increase in, and subsequent removal of, Ukraine’s export quota for barley helped to lower international prices, but EU values were supported by tight domestic markets, International Grain Council posted on February 22.

In the EU, winter barley areas are similar to last year but spring barley sowings could be 2% up, with the biggest increases in France and the UK, International Grains Council said in its Grain Market Report, February 22.

Canada’s crop is expected to be larger than in 2006.
