Deduction for low px on malt

[farmaholic]

So that makes the raw barley 30% heavier. A $4.50/bu barley price would make a malted bushel worth about $5.85 because of weight loss alone. ...not counting any other malting process expenses or margin or salvage of sprout and root byproduct. Now I wonder what the malt is sold to the brewer for...?

Export values are listed at around 75 cents per kilogram
In 2015 Canada had around 10% of total value in world trade

So $750/ tonne versus about $205/ tonne for the barley($4.50/bu).

Thanks 101. (CAD or USD ?)

That would be CAD

Maybe I need to apologize for my ignorance but what does the CAD$ value line represent.

Total value in CAD

2017 malt barley market is not a winner.

Australia's production hit the market and sunk it

How does AUstralia market work for malt selection and quality factors? Is it the same as ours. What gives Australian farmers incentive to keep growing malt ours seems to be losing flavor?
