Saudi Arabia: Barley Trade Quarterly
Contact:
Total Saudi barley imports for the current marketing year are estimated at 7 million MT. This is 1.5 million MT lower than USDA’s official estimate of 8.5 million MT. Thus far in the 2019/20 marketing year the Saudi Grains Organization (SAGO) has issued two barley import tenders. These are for the import of 1,740,000 MT of barley during July to October 2019 – which would be a decrease of 46.3 percent compared to imports in the same period last year.
