Canada: Barley-planted area potentially in for 4-5% gain this year

Seeding has begun in southern Canada under reasonable moisture conditions, with a potential for 4-5% gain in barley-planted area, RMI Analytics said in their latest report.

On this good start, a small increase in barley crop’25 is forecast at 8.9 mln tonnes, the analysts said.

Most key US barley areas received moisture, but the States’ barley crop’25 US forecast to 3.0 mln tonnes (3.1 mln in crop’24), lowest since the 2021 drought.

There is no change in barley export prices, with a continued quiet trade. The US tariff on-again/off-again situation leaves markets functioning normally but uncertainty remains high.

Canada’s domestic feed barley prices are higher, supported by a general lack of farmer selling and the recent strength in US corn futures raising feed prices.
