  • Feed barley prices in Asia followed a stable-to-firm trend in Q1’26, supported by steady import demand and moderate supply availability across key consuming markets.
  • Upstream pressure came from rising freight, fuel, and fertilizer costs, as the Iran war and Strait of Hormuz disruption increased shipping risk and input expenses.
  • Downstream demand remained consistent from the livestock sector, though feed substitution and cautious buying limited sharper upward movement.

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.

About Feed Barley

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.
