Australia is set for a second consecutive record grain crop following two years of drought. For the winter crops, wheat production is estimated to have reached another record in marketing year (MY) 2021/22 and barley production is expected to be the third largest in history, just slightly behind the previous year.

The outlook for winter grains production in Australia has deteriorated due to particularly adverse seasonal conditions, including lower than expected spring rainfall and record temperatures.

Australian milk production is expected to rise slightly in 2016 to 9.8 million metric tonnes, due to higher milk yields and improved seasonal conditions.

Australian sugar production is projected to reach five million tonnes in 2015/16 assuming that average seasonal conditions prevail.
