- Ukrainian feed barley prices are edging higher on tightening domestic supply and steady trader demand.
- Export prices at Ukrainian ports strengthened by $2–3/t, signaling a firmer external market backdrop.
- Market sentiment is bullish, with farmers holding a stronger negotiating position amid reduced selling.
Ukrainian Barley Prices Trend Higher on Tight Supply
Ukrainian feed barley prices continued to firm last week, even as overall trading and purchasing activity remained relatively slow. A reduction in grain availability on the domestic market has coincided with fairly active demand from traders, lending support to higher price levels.
Export strength has reinforced this trend, with prices at Ukrainian ports rising by $2–3/t. The combination of tighter domestic supply and resilient export interest is underpinning a more supportive pricing environment for sellers.

Market Sentiment and Outlook
The current market dynamic for Ukrainian barley is bullish. Reduced farmer selling and firm export demand are creating upward pressure on prices, giving sellers a stronger hand in negotiations. Market participants will be watching to see whether these higher prices unlock additional grain from on-farm storage or if supply remains tight, which could support further gains in the near term.
