Tunisia's state grains agency purchased 75,000 tons of feed barley via international tender, splitting the volume across three lots from multiple suppliers. The purchase, with shipments scheduled between late October and late November, signals firm import demand and provides price support for feed barley in the international market.
Feed and export barley prices in Kazakhstan moved higher over the week, driven by strong demand from feed flour producers and exporters. Shipments to China and Uzbekistan remain the most active trade routes, while limited vessel availability continues to constrain flows to Iran. Rising freight costs on key routes add further upward pressure on landed prices.

Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, in the near term, accelerating Northern Hemisphere harvests and abundant exportable supplies are expected to keep barley prices sideways to slightly softer, with regional logistics and basis movements driving short-term price differences.

In the Indian markets, the barley price curve saw moderate stability over the course of the first quarter of 2026. The acreage of barley in India increased by 11.6 percent to 6.78 lakh hectares compared to last year. Despite that, over the course of the quarter, the production trends were not entirely positive as farmers focused on cultivating wheat rather than other crops due to the expectation of higher revenue from wheat during the rabi season. In addition to that, the weather was also favourable for the cultivation of barley, and farmers were optimistic regarding yield rates. Apart from a few weather-related issues, no major problems arose in the growing season. However, the fertilizer costs increased by the end of the quarter due to disruptions in shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. However, it had a very limited effect on the prices of barley during the period.
Barley is a well-known member of the grass family. It is a major cereal grain that is often grown in temperate climates all over the globe. In 2017, barley production stood at volume of around 149 million tonnes, making it fourth among grains (maize, rice and wheat respectively) in terms of production quantity. Barley, being rich in protein contents, competes with corn and sorghum as a feed grain.
