Farmer for malting barley (test segment)

Farmers who cultivate malting barley specialize in the production of barley varieties used for malting and thus for beer production. Current challenges include maintaining specific quality criteria such as low protein content and high germination capacity to meet the requirements of malthouses and breweries. Rising commodity prices and changing climatic conditions can also impact cultivation. Trends such as the cultivation of two-row spring barley, which is preferred for its high malting quality, and the development of new, resistant varieties are shaping the industry. These developments aim to stabilize yields and ensure the quality of malting barley.
