EU: If malt were produced at full capacity, the export surplus would be of about 2 million tonnes
The EU-27 has at present a malting capacity of 8.72 million tonnes, according to the latest forecasts. If malt were produced at full capacity, the export surplus would be 2.02 million tonnes. In 2005/06 EU exports were 2.18 million tonnes, in 2006/07 they will drop to 1.8 million tonnes.
Malt capacity usage at 100 % has hardly ever been achieved. Germany, e.g., has a barley malt capacity of 1.88 million tonnes, but will probably produce less than 1.7 million tonnes in 2006/07.
