Barley is one of the world's earliest cultivated grains, appearing in traditional diets across the globe. Today it is predominantly grown for animal feed and malt for use in alcoholic beverages. We supply Barley from European Union, Australia and Canada.

Most well known as a source of malt in the fermenting process for beer, barley was one of the world's first cultivated grains and is also a valuable feedstock and ingredient in commercially produced bread, cereal and soup products.
With a high fibre content and cholesterol lowering qualities, barley is also recognised for its intestinal health benefits, making it highly desirable for human consumption.
Grown across Australia, in a variety of soil and climatic environments, barley has benefitted from research into the prevention of pest and disease, making it one of the most resilient crops produced for export.
With excellent working relationships with Australian barley growers, and a stringent bulk handling, storage and transport standards for export, the Nzac Foods team offer exceptional logistical and delivery systems at competitive prices.

Barley contains many nutritional properties such as phosphorus, calcium, iron, potassium and magnesium as well as high fiber, mineral salt and vitamin content. Characterized by its low quantity of calories, barley is one of the cereals with the lowest glycemic index. It is very digestible with tonic and diuretic properties, often used as a substitute for coffee.

Barley, one of the key cereal grains globally, belongs to the grass family and is widely cultivated in temperate climates around the world. The barley export business in South Africa is thriving, with tonnes of barley being shipped to various countries each year. As global demand for barley continues to rise, the export of barley from South Africa has seen consistent growth year after year. South African barley exporters are known for delivering high-quality barley and barley-based products. The export of barley from South Africa encompasses a wide range of barley varieties.

�· Azad (K.125)
The Azad variety of barley is typically suited for cultivation in eastern Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and West Bengal. Known for its resistance to yellow rust, this variety is both a good source of fodder and grain. Azad matures in about 115-120 days, with a yield potential of 35-38 quintals per hectare under irrigated conditions.

1. Ratna
Ratna is a barley variety developed for rainfed areas in eastern Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and West Bengal. This variety is particularly tolerant to saline and alkaline soil conditions, making it ideal for less favorable environments. It matures in approximately 125-130 days and is known for its strong tillering ability, yielding well even in challenging conditions.

2. Vijaya
The Vijaya variety is recommended for rainfed areas of western Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, and Madhya Pradesh. This variety matures in 120-125 days and is characterized by shorter plant height compared to other barley types. Its yield potential is around 30-35 quintals of grain per hectare.

3. RS-6
Developed in Rajasthan, the RS-6 variety is suitable for both rainfed and irrigated conditions and is widely grown in central and eastern Rajasthan. With a maturation period of 130-135 days, RS-6 offers a yield potential of 35-40 quintals of grain per hectare.

4. Ranjit (DL-70)
Ranjit, also known as DL-70, is a six-row barley variety with heavy tillering, specifically recommended for commercial cultivation in Punjab under irrigated conditions. It has a yield potential of 30-35 quintals per hectare.
