Saudi Arabia: Barley Trade Quarterly

Saudi Arabia’s barley imports for the first six months of Marketing Year (MY) 2021/22 is estimated at 2.36 million metric tons (MMT), a 41 percent decrease compared to the same period last year. According to local importers, the decline in barley imports thus far for this marketing year was caused by a shortage of vessels delivering competitively priced barley as well as a decrease in overall domestic demand. Over the past several months, numerous farmers have departed the livestock sector due to increasing costs thus lowering demand. As a result, Post’s current projection for total Saudi barley imports for this MY is 5.2 MMT, down 16 percent compared to the USDA official estimate of 6.2 MMT for MY 2020/21.
