Saudi Arabia’s barley imports for marketing year (MY) 2017/18 are estimated at 8 million MT, about 6 percent lower than the official USDA estimate of 8.5 million MT. Based on the Saudi Arabia Grains Organization’s (SAGO) barley purchase contracts covering this MY, post reduced estimated total Saudi barley imports for MY 2017/18 to 8 million MT. The reduction in SAGO’s barley imports is mainly due to efficiency in managing storage and distribution of barely and an increase in the consumption of processed livestock feed. Saudi barley imports are projected to decline by 6 percent to 7.5 million MT in MY2018/19.
