Malting barley research initiated
Published: 02/08/2024
Storage operators and buyers need information on the storability of malting barley varieties. Agbiz Grain has initiated two separate but mutually beneficial malting barley projects for 2023/24. Agbiz Grain appreciates the South African Winter Cereal Industry Trust’s (SAWCIT) financial support for the two research projects.
The respective researchers will provide SAWCIT with progress reports on the two projects. In addition, two follow-up projects have been identified for 2024/25 and once these are approved by SAWCIT, more information will be provided on the outcome and approval of the respective projects. Agbiz Grain has committed resources to the new project application from the start of the marketing year on 1 October when malting barley is received for storage. – Agbiz Grain
