The 2025/26 Global barley production is expected to increase by 2.5 million tonnes according to the latest estimates from the United States Department of Agriculture.

The USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service report forecasts world barley production in 2025/26 at 145.973 million tonnes compared to the 2024/25 level of 143.472 million tonnes. This prediction is even up from a forecast from earlier in the year, which sat at 145.798 million tonnes.

Looking deeper, Canadian barley production in 2025/26 is forecast at 8.200 million tonnes by the USDA, which is on par with the 8.144 million tonnes the agency has expected for Canada’s 2024/25 crop.
