Germany: Spring barley production estimated at 1.9 mln tonnes this year
Germany’s spring barley production is 1.9 mln tonnes (as per DRV), but almost 2.1 mln tonnes including fall-planted spring barleys, H. M. Gauger GmbH said in their September report.
Yields and qualities vary strongly. Best reports come from North Germany and southern parts of Bavaria, mixed results from the southwest and east.
Everywhere malt stocks were zero at the end of the past campaign, therefore it is estimated that 2.9 mln tonnes (0.3 mln tonnes of wheat, 0.3 mln of domestic and imported winter barley, 2.3 mln tonnes of domestic and imported spring barley) must and will be bought from crop 2022.
There is rather large additional new barley demand for the production of biogas, one small item to replace gas deliveries from Russia, the analysts said.
