Barley “Market Movers” • 2012 malt barley contracts were offered early and are essentially full. • 2012 production and quality will be critical. • Value of 2011 malt barley stocks • Value of 2012 contract over-run • 2012 Canadian barley acres are projected to increase 22.1%, but approximately 65% is used for feed and 18% exported. • Quality is always the key.
Longer Term Market Issues • Move to “Dual Market” system in Canada. • Impact on total North American barley acres • Impact on U.S. feed barley markets • Impact on U.S. malt barley markets • Growth in demand for malt barley in Mexico, Central America, and China. • High and mid-level malt barley quality • Can North Dakota compete in world malt barley market?
