Ukraine breaks the pattern that quantity rank dictates value rank: third by quantity at 3,377,032 tonnes, it falls to sixth by export value (557,301,000 US dollars), behind Germany, Canada and Argentina. Its reported trade value per tonne, about 165 dollars, against Australia's 257 and France's 249, shows a unit-value divergence inside the reported trade, with no price claim attached.

The top of the table is highly concentrated: Australia exported 1.15 times as much barley as France, while the top three hold 45.8 percent of the listed total, the top five 63.5 percent and the top ten 88.4 percent. Europe accounts for much of the ranking — France, Ukraine, Germany, Romania, Hungary (888,249 tonnes), Bulgaria (859,082 tonnes), the United Kingdom (609,191 tonnes), the Czech Republic (427,027 tonnes), Poland, Lithuania, Denmark and Sweden among them. Argentina and Canada are the main exporters from the Americas in the ranking, while Kazakhstan leads Central Asia, and Türkiye exported 332,975 tonnes (1.0 percent) in thirteenth place.

Methodology

This table sums FAO Detailed Trade Matrix bilateral flows into yearly reporter totals for item Barley, export quantity and export value, 2020-2024. The barley exports series displays quantities below 1,000 tonnes to two decimals and larger quantities as whole tonnes; its values are full current US dollars without inflation adjustment. The 2024 barley exports ranking and shares use 2024 listed quantities; values are not used for ranking. In the barley exports data, zero means a reported nil or negligible flow; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. The barley exports change uses overlapping reporters only; countries entering or leaving the listed set are shown separately. Partner-derived gap filling and food-aid additions can apply, and unreconciled bilateral pairs mean an export entry and its mirror import may not match.
