Denmark: 2006 barley and malting barley forecast. Barley varieties 2006
In 2005 spring barley area was of 569,000 ha of which 49% of malting quality. For comparison in 2004 spring barley area was 575,000 ha of which 28% of malting quality, H. Abildstrom & Co ApS reported on December 30 2005.
In 2005 Denmark harvested 2.89 million tonnes of spring barley of which 1.4 million tonnes of malting barley. In 2004 Denmark harvested 2.86 million tonnes of spring barley of which 0.8 million tonnes of malting barley.
On this basis it would indicate a spring barley area for 2006 of about same as 2005 but H. Abildstrom & Co ApS considers that some malting barley farmers would have changed to rapeseed due to the profitability although returning to barley may take some years. Thus at present moment it is not expecte 2006 area to be above 550,000 ha. Under good conditions with yield 5.0 t/ha malting barley % could reach 45 i.e. roughly estimated production 2006: 1.25 million tonnes.
