WINNIPEG, Dec. 11 (CNS Canada) – The Australian Bureau of Agriculture and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) expects to see a significant drop in grain exports out of the country in 2017/18 as production was down on the year and domestic feed demand is expected to be strong.
Australian wheat exports are now forecast at 16.8 million tonnes, which would be down 24 per cent on the year. Total coarse grain exports (sorghum and barley) are forecast at 6.3 million tonnes. While that’s up slightly from an earlier estimate, it would still be well below the 10.7 million tonnes exported the previous year.
