-
Spain, Hungary, and Romania's barley production have been affected by Europe's warm temperature and dry weather. However, the effect of adverse weather is anticipated to remain minimal in France. According to the information currently available, the area of winter barley in France is estimated to reach 1.30 million hectares, an increase of 1 percent from 2022 and 3.9 percent over the 5-year average
-
Given that Russia and Ukraine are two of the world's top five producers of barley, the ongoing conflict between the two nations will influence the worldwide barley market. The production of barley in Ukraine could decrease by about 34.7 percent this year. Hence, it may affect supply of malt moderately
-
Major producers of malting barley are Europe, Canada, and the US, with Europe having most of the top maltsters. However, maltsters are spread all around the world

Global Barley and Malt Barley Trade Dynamics
The adverse impact of heat and dry weather on some European Union (EU) countries, particularly Spain, has resulted in significant production losses and an increase in barley imports. Due to the dry weather, Argentina's expected barley production is down from 5.3 Million metric tons last year to 4.2 Million metric tons this year (2022/23). The export is also probably going to drop significantly.
