    Saudi Arabia

    Remember this?

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/ca/idCAKBN1KS20N-OCADN https://www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/ca/idCAKBN1KS20N-OCADN


    Reuters) - Saudi Arabia's main state wheat buying agency has told grains exporters it will no longer buy Canadian wheat and barley in its international tenders, European traders said on Tuesday, as a diplomatic dispute between the two countries escalates.

    Traders said they had received an official notice from the Saudi Grains Organization (SAGO) about its decision.

    Canada on Monday refused to back down in its defense of human rights after Saudi Arabia froze new trade and investment and expelled the Canadian ambassador in retaliation for Ottawa's call to free arrested Saudi civil society activists.

    The export of barley climbed more than 1000 percent, resulting in 1,360,096 tonnes being shipped abroad. Its main destinations were Saudi Arabia that increased its demand by more than 1,600 percent, allowing a sale of more than 70,500 tons and the United Arab Emirates, which was added as a new buyer, with a total of 1,242,736 tons so far this year. .

              Saudi Arabia isn't a huge buyer of Canadian barley... But considering it sounds like https://www.producer.com/2019/04/views-differ-on-exports-to-china-other-than-canola/ China has quit ordering all or most grains from Canada we need every market we can get

                      truedope only interest in western canada farms is to investigate how incorporated farms are tax cheats, and attempt to remove cash deferrals from cash accounting. Truly no govt representation west of ontario.

                              To be fair, Canada has been sold out of barley until new crop for some time already. Barley is certainly popular crop option for this year as seed has been unavailable since about Christmas in AB.
