Barley news Australia: Australia forecast to produce 12.3 mln tonnes of barley from upcoming winter-crop harvest

Australia is forecast to produce 32.2 million tonnes (Mt) of wheat, 12.3Mt of barley and 6.6Mt of canola from the upcoming winter-crop harvest, according to latest estimates from ABARES released in its quarterly Australian Crop Report released on September 6.

These figures are up from its previous forecasts issued in June of 30.3Mt for wheat, 10.9Mt for barley and 5.6Mt for canola.

In commentary tied to the crop report and to ABARES September quarter Agricultural Commodities Report also out on September 6, the national forecaster said exceptional growing conditions and high global prices were continuing to benefit Australian agricultural production and exports.

Total agricultural export earnings are forecast to climb to a record A$70.3 billion for 2022-23 (Jly-Jun), almost 50 per cent above their level of 10 years ago after accounting for inflation, and exceed A$70B for the first time.

ABARES executive director Dr Jared Greenville said industry’s overall forecasted gross value of A$81.8B shows it is performing strongly, with cropping leading the way.

“Winter-crop prospects in Australia are looking very promising at the beginning of spring – we’re forecasting a 55.5Mt harvest,” Dr Greenville said.

“Meat production is also rebounding, with the national herd and flock returning to pre-drought levels.

“Favourable seasonal conditions are expected to persist, but global inflation and rising costs of farm inputs could cloud outlook for demand and farm incomes.”

Dr Greenville said ABARES’ latest forecasts factored in tapering global growth and the likelihood of a third straight La Niña for Australia, roughly a once-in-30-year event.

“Widespread inflation and a sluggish Chinese economy are the main watchpoints.

“Global food and fertiliser prices remain very high despite falling from peaks earlier in 2022.

“The World Bank expects high global food prices through to the end of 2024 which will have adverse implications for global food security.

“We’re seeing Australian agriculture leaning into this uncertainty, with continued global demand for our food and fibre, another bumper winter crop and the forecast of continued favourable growing conditions.

Harvest of Australia’s earliest 2022-23 wheat crops has started, and is forecast to produce the second-biggest wheat crop ever.

The national barley crop is expected to be the fourth-largest on record, with canola tipped to be the second-largest.

Winter-crop prospects in Australia at the beginning of spring are seen by ABARES as well above average following a generally favourable winter.

Timely and sufficient rainfall in late winter greatly benefitted crop development in many regions and lifted average yield potentials across all states.

Cropping regions in Western Australia, South Australia and Victoria have benefitted more consistently from these winter developments than those in New South Wales and Queensland.

Ongoing wet conditions in large parts of southern Queensland and northern and central NSW prevented many growers from sowing or re-attempting to sow a late winter crop.

Crop establishment in some low-lying areas has been patchy, while a significant proportion of crops have been adversely affected by continuing waterlogging issues.

This contrasts with the more favourable crop conditions expected in most parts of central Queensland and southern NSW, which are helping to lift total state prospects.

On 2021-22 production, ABARES has lifted its estimate for canola by 260,000t in response to canola exports from eastern states pointing to a larger crop than previously thought.
