Exploiting the potential of local barley supply to the malting plant is a critical success factor for minimising the exposure to the uncertainty of world barley markets.

Global Malting Services have developed a systematic approach to improvement throughout the field to malting supply chain. In working on the ground with local growers, Global Malting Services has achieved significant advances in both yield and quality. A key part of this process is the guarantee of high quality seed. Global Malting Services works closely with international plant breeders to develop seed multiplication and control supply to growers. Introduction of new varieties by Global Malting Services and their evaluation within statistically designed field trials has increased the land area available for malting barley production in certain geographical regions. Once barley harvesting is complete maintenance of quality is of the highest priority to ensure high quality malt. Here, Global Malting Services works with barley handlers to develop world-class management strategies and upgraded storage facilities. With increased consumer demand for product knowledge, Global Malting Services implements full Track and Trace capability throughout the supply chain.
