In 2023, barley supply in India was approximately 2.02 million metric tons. Forecasts predict a gradual decline, with supplies at 2.01 million metric tons in 2024, remaining stable in 2025 and 2026, followed by a slight decrease to 1.99 and 1.98 million metric tons in 2027 and 2028, respectively. The year-on-year variation reveals a subtle reduction, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicating an average decline over the 5-year forecast period.
Future trends to monitor include climatic impacts on barley cultivation, shifts in domestic demand due to industry changes, and global market influences that might affect trade dynamics and supply chain stability.
