Future trends to watch for include:

Shifts in global demand and supply dynamics, particularly in markets with emerging agricultural sectors.
Potential impacts of climate change on barley production and quality, affecting export volumes.
Trade policy changes and new bilateral agreements that may alter the competitive landscape for US barley exports.
