Without Chinese brewers to supply, Australian barley farmers could lose hundreds of millions

Australia's barley farmers have found themselves in the middle of a global feud this week, with rising trade tensions flaring against the backdrop of a likely international inquiry into the origins of COVID-19.

The other 6.9 per cent tariff is because China claims Australian farmers are subsidised by the Australian Government to grow their crops. But the Australian Government maintains the trade disruptions are not linked to each other, or its call for a COVID-19 inquiry.Both the OECD and the Federal Government consider Australian farmers to be among the least subsidised in the world, receiving little government assistance to grow food and fibre.China argued that Australian Government initiatives in the Murray-Darling Basin, which paid farmers to upgrade water infrastructure in return for giving up water rights, were a form of subsidy.

Farmers and traders say the tariffs make it unviable to sell their barley to China, and while it's likely they'll find new markets to sell the Australian-grown barley in, it's unlikely to be as lucrative. It has been 10 days since China proposed the 80 per cent tariffs and already prices for Australian barley have fallen 20-30 per cent.

Sell the Chinese Australian beer instead.

If the Chinese think they can bully Australia over their banning Australian imports and the Australian government will not counter with bans; perhaps the Australian public should boycott Chinese made products.

So, we have to drink more!! Do you understand? 'WE HAVE TO' 🥴🥴🥴

Time for Australia to stand on its own feet and not sell its soul to the Chinese government blamechina ChinaMustPay ronavirus

the farmer's can thank the red neck racists of the LNP like ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP BarnabyJoyceLNP . they funded and voted the fuckers in now they can pay like the ret of us do everyday.

Can we get cheaper beer now ?

china lied, people died

ScottMorrisonMP plenty of boutique breweries popping up all over Asia as people seek out craft beers, focus on those countries and lock China out australiafirst

Grow wheat.

Lets cut ties with China for ruthless illegal conduct. We don't need thugs to hold Australian markets at randsom. We must Not engage with unreliable unethical nations such as China. The World should stop making the Chinese Gov Trillionaires giving them the power to control Aus.

Does this mean the Chinese will come a buy all our beer, and take it back to China like the did with baby formula? 🤔

Let’s rewrite this as Australian Growers are exploring new avenues to sell their produce and looking forward to this

Nonsense. Chinese brewers can get more than enough barley from Canada and Europe.

This is what we get for relying on China so heavily.

This is what happens when you rely on one unstable partner, or putting all of your eggs in one big basket. Economies across the world should follow Australia's example in the resistance against imperialism.

Chinese beer is very average. Australian boutique beer is outstanding. MAKE MORE AND EXPORT.

Well the ABC is making its position clear

Buy all the excess and make hand sanitizer from mash based alcohol.

Blame the US. China now buys more barley from US farmers. Clearly set up by Trump during there trade dispute.

Drink more beer. Or vodka. Or whatever barley makes. Oats peas beets and barley grow.

Could....being the operative word. In other words.... also could not. Just looking for some drama and horror in something that might not happen?

Or we could replace crops that are grown for export and grow barley

More beer for locals

What happenedto the FTA? No tariffs on 95% of products

Without Aust barley Chinese brewers won't be able to produce high quality beer. Aust beer producers & others will have access to premium ingredients which produce superior beer which beer drinkers prefer. libe LePoint derspiegel dwnews Telegraph chinaorgcn MFA_China smh

THANK TRUMP PUSHNG IN FROMT OF AUSTRALIA WITH THE TRADE WAR HE INITIATED WITH THE RESOLUTION CHINA GAVE TO HIM WHICH NOW IS BEING HONOURED. READ

That's why we have an entire sector of government to sort out trade. China are fast becoming unstable trade partners. No word on filling the voids by our politicians? Trade is not trade if you're being threatened.

US should buy some barley from Australia. We helped them a lot. Let ScoMo have a call with his mate Trump

Barley can be stored dry. Getting new markets may take time but the sale will be viable.

It's time to move away from China look for other markets around the world

China has two faces. One that pretends to be our best friends when it suits them and the other is your worst enemy that stabs you in the back when things don’t go it’s way.....

There will be a lot of sober chinese

How good is CHAFTA?

Plant other stuff

Chinese beer has become bats piss.....oz is best barley on the planet

Certain drinks are about to get a heap cheaper here in Aus ;)

Find another market. I'm sure there's something out there 😉

If we give in, thousands innocent lives could be lost, again! Just like what has been caused by CoVid-19, and SARS.

Well played Spud, Scotty and Littleknob. Idiots.

How bout we make Australian beer cheaper to make more to sell more

Wheat, oats, barley for stock feed. Plenty of alternative. What's even stupider is the amount of Chinese owned farms. Let's tax the fk out them.

Just return the favour thx 😈

That is the question ScottMorrisonMP needs to answer!!!

When comes to China, they sacrifice our economy for the Trump boss; Regarding schools, however, they risk the lives of students and teachers for economy. ScottMorrisonMP and GladysB are incapable and insane. auspol

All i hear from Trump is the sound of crickets.

Get over it. There will always be a demand for Australia's Barley. Move on! 📈

China and Chinese literacy is low among Aussies, maybe everybody should learn mandarin and Chinese culture now to make Beijing happy again.

In business customers come and go. Get over it . You can’t make someone buy something. Find other markets.

Vietnam surprisingly hasquite a large craft brewing industry. And how about lowering taxes for our own local brewers? Craft industry in australia is also thriving. Regardless not all our barley is malting quality so we should be able to offload our malting barley to other buyers

Brew it here and sell them the beer. Done. asahibeer_jp should grab this opportunity and capitalise on their impending purchase. CouldUseABeer cans

Why ever did Australian industries ever let themselves get so reliant on one market is unbelievable. Lazy approach to international trade & affairs. There has always been a reasonable % threat that trade with China could be interrupted at any time for many reasons.

You do realise that grain farmers can and do grow other grains depending on the market demand. 🤔 of course you do! And yet here we are all doom and gloom. China good, Australia Bad! Farmers are a lot smarter than you lot! Rant over 🤦🏼‍♀️

No problem, let China buy the inferior American barley. We will find other markets to reduce the loss. Good riddance to China let America have them.

Or sell it somewhere else

Buy it elsewhere.

Bite the bullet, cut the economic umbilical cord BoycottChina BoycottChineseProducts

Maybe our beer will be cheaper....wow as if that will happen!

Tax our beer less, so we can drink more, to make up for the shortfall.

Store it like they did in ancien time’s against famine

Or we could make more beers 🍺

They will open a backdoor through rebranding the source to maintain the quality of their tsingtao beer.

LeBarley 😢

Allow the barley growers to become cogs in the crustacean export market and recoup thier losses...when billionaire ping pong ho gets his seafood bill he will sort out the tariffs...

Australia needs to close its doors with China. No more tourists, no more students, no more purchases of aussie assets, no timber sales, no visas. China and its government need to be isolated and terminated.

Should export barley to American, then China import it from American. Win Win

And where will they source their barley now Dribs and drabs from around the world means no consistency in their product. That will annoy consumers and impact sales. Thought about that did we..?

So we are gonna let China to blackmail us? This is a chance for the whole world to demonstrate we all can do better without China in the economic chain. It won't be easy at all, and it won't happen overnight. But it can be done.

The world is better off without shitty Chinese beer

It's time to look for new market opportunities. Forget China and move on.

...chump change considering what we're presently blowing on Jobkeeper...

And the chinese brewers will pass on the cost to consumers. This will be unpopular in china

Darn, Aussies will have to take up the slack, drink up guys...

Defund/Privatise their ABC now!

With the help of their Communist sympathisers here !

Fuck Chinese brewers. Seriously.
