🌾Wheat Market Update – Key Insights & Actionable Advice
As we move through the critical stages of the global wheat season, there are a few key developments to keep on your radar — especially if you’re managing harvest cashflow or still holding unsold grain.
- Argentina’s wheat crop is showing strong promise, with 95% now rated in excellent condition, thanks to improved soil moisture.
- Canada, however, is facing challenges and is now expected to produce below the anticipated 35 MMT, which could tighten supply in the months ahead.
- After a brief rally sparked by Northern Hemisphere harvest delays, wheat prices have dropped 3% this week. Recent widespread rainfall has improved growing conditions, adding to the bearish short-term outlook.

🌾 Barley Market Update – Key Drivers & Smart Selling Strategy
With WA old crop supplies now cleared out and new season production ramping up, there are several key factors shaping the 2025/26 barley market outlook.
- Barley values have held firm at $330–$340/t over the past two months, supported by tight old crop stocks and steady Chinese demand.
- Production risk is easing, with increased hectares and solid rainfall improving yield outlooks across WA.
- Buy-side demand is limited, with only two buyers active in the short term — creating potential price risk if supply momentum builds.
- Low-protein wheat is dragging barley sentiment lower, as buyers look to substitute with cheaper feed wheat.
- Currency volatility is adding noise, with recent swings in the AUD moving prices around unexpectedly.
- Global feed grain pressure is building, with a large US corn crop likely to offset any support from EU drought concerns.
💡 What does this mean for you?
If you’re light on forward cover, now is a smart time to look at new crop barley sales. With wheat values underperforming and harvest costs approaching, barley could be your best option for early cashflow.
