Canada, one of the world’s top barley exporters, is importing a rare cargo from Europe after drought decimated its harvest last year.
France’s Rouen port is set to load its first-ever barley cargo for Canada, on the bulk carrier Federal Spey, according to a spokesman for the port operator. The North American nation hasn’t imported significant volumes from the European Union since the 2015-16 season, trade data show.
