Tunisia's state grains agency purchased 75,000 tons of feed barley in an international tender, split across three lots from multiple suppliers including Soufflet, Al Ghurair, and Bunge. Shipments are scheduled between late October and late November. The tender represents a notable demand pull for feed barley into North Africa, supporting firm price sentiment in the spot market.
Feed barley prices in Kazakhstan increased over the week, driven by strong export demand from China and Uzbekistan as well as rising domestic consumption from feed flour producers and poultry operators. Freight costs to key markets also rose, adding to landed cost pressure. Kazakh authorities' plans to tighten restrictions on Russian wheat imports are further supporting domestic feed barley demand.

During Q2 2026, Feed Barley in India averaged USD 233.21/MT (EXW), China averaged USD 318.62/MT (CIF), and Australia averaged USD 346.66/MT (CIF) in June'26. Early-quarter strength gave way to modest weakening in the prices as expectations for supply rose. The Australian market for feed barley was soft in the quarter despite stable exports. According to USDA, global barley production for 2025/26 at around 145.0 million MT, while higher Australian export availability supported international supply flows. China remained a major demand destination, with Canadian barley exports benefiting from strong Asian buying, as China accounted for 59% of Canadian barley exports during MY 2025/26. European markets also faced limited upward pressure as EU compound-feed production was expected to decline slightly, while improving harvest expectations increased availability. Lower export duties in Argentina added further competition in global barley trade.

During Q1’26, feed barley prices in Asia showed a slightly firm trend, driven by sustained import demand and moderate supply conditions. China remained the key demand centre, with barley feed use holding around 8.7 MMT, reflecting steady inclusion in feed rations despite competition from corn. Import activity remained steady as Asian buyers continued securing barley cargoes to support feed demand, while reliance on overseas suppliers kept landed costs sensitive to freight and insurance movements. Strong reliance on imports from Australia and Canada maintained supply flows, while rising freight and insurance costs due to the Strait of Hormuz disruption increased landed costs across Asian markets. Upstream factors such as fertilizer and transport cost inflation added pressure on production economics, while downstream livestock demand remained stable but price-sensitive, limiting aggressive restocking.
Feed Barley refers to the use of barley grain for direct consumption by livestock. The type of barley selected for feeding purpose is different from the malting barley, which has lower protein, and thus, is better for brewing. Feed Barley is generally selected based on physical properties, for example, the plumpness of the kernel and high-test weights coupled with several other nutritional quality traits.
