UK: Malt production for 2005/06 is estimated at 1.4 million tonnes
HGCA of the U.K. estimates the malt production of 2005/06 at 1.4 million tonnes, only 3 % less than last year. In July/September, however, U.K. maltsters produced 330,000 tonnes or 9 % less than a year ago.
Domestic usage is around 1.2 million tonnes for brewing, distilling and food. British industries had closed 160.000 tons of malt capacities, rumours are that more will follow. In any case British maltsters depend much less on exports than their large competitors on the Continent.
