Barley Market Analysis:

The barley market is mainly driven by its increasing need as a feed grain for livestock, particularly in beef cattle, dairy cows, and poultry farming. The demand for this crop in animal feed is influenced by livestock production levels, feed preferences, and nutritional requirements. Further propelling the market expansion is the product's increasing use as a vital raw material in the malting sector, where it is malted to create malt, an essential component in the production of beer and spirits. Additionally, barley is widely utilized in a wide range of food products, such as baked goods, soups, and breakfast cereals, which is stimulating the global market. For instance, Salalah Mills Company launched barley flour, which is rich in vitamins, dietary fiber, and minerals. It is used to prepare baking items, such as yeast bread, flatbread, Omani bread, and sliced bread. Similarly, Simpsons Malt Limited announced a collaboration with Yara and Varda to promote sustainable barley malt production practices. This practice can aid in reducing the environmental impact of malt production.

Barley Market Trends:

Rising Usage in Animal Feed

Barley is primarily used as a feed grain for livestock, particularly in beef cattle, dairy cows, and poultry farming. The demand for barley in animal feed is influenced by livestock production levels, feed preferences, and nutritional requirements. Besides this, the need for meat and dairy products, particularly in developing countries, has been increasing, on account of the population growth and rising incomes. This trend propels the requirement for barley as a feed grain. For example, Canadian Bio-Systems Inc. (CBS Inc.) launched the Superzyme feed enzyme series to deliver high nutritional values in a wide range of animal feeds, including corn, soybean meal, wheat, barley, oats, canola meal, etc. Superzyme feed enzyme adds value to feeds and reduces potential waste. Furthermore, as per the USDA, close to 70% of barley traded is primarily used for the feed industry, and the lowest amount is utilized for human food. Switzerland-based Syngenta offers a hybrid feed barley variety colossus in the UK market. The hybrid variety enhances the performance of the barley grain.

Technological Advancements in Agriculture

Advances in agricultural technology, including precision farming techniques, remote sensing, and digital agriculture tools, enhance barley production efficiency and sustainability. These innovations support yield optimization, resource management, and farm-level decision-making. In line with this, the continuous advancements in agricultural technology, breeding techniques, and crop management practices improve barley yield potential, disease resistance, and quality attributes. Research investments drive innovation in barley cultivation and processing. For example, Dow Agrosciences introduced a cereal grain product called Paradigm Arylex, which is an active herbicide. This new product has been developed to be used in wheat, barley, triticale, and oats to regulate and control the growth of brassica weeds, deadnettle, Mexican poppy, fumitory, and several other broadleaf weeds. Moreover, BASF launched fungicide Sistiva for seed treatment on wheat and barley in Argentina. Sistiva  provides around 45 days of control for post-emergent diseases of crops and allows farmers more flexibility for the foliar application.

Latest Industry News:

• Intergrain, a leading Australia-based barley breeding company, collaborated with two major Australian universities to improve barley yield stability in the face of climate variability and provide innovative breeding solutions that allow for the development of more productive crops.
   
• Ardent Mills, a flour-milling and ingredient company, and PepsiCo agreed to provide alternative grains, such as sorghum, barley, millet, and rye, which were the upcoming products of these companies. Therefore, both organizations will add more products containing these alternative grains as ingredients to their portfolio.
