still an operational industry of 2 million tonnes of malt.
January-April production was 141,200 tons per month, equal to1,7 million tonnes per year. In all past years, German production was never below 2 million tonnes but for the current cropyear analysts estimate cautiously, that no more than 1,8 million tonnes will be produced.
