MALTING BARLEY PRODUCTION

Production of malting barley is core business for our cooperative. We organize this production for more then fifteen years.

Our cooperants produce winter and spring varieties and deliver barley to malting plant Slavonija slad in Nova Gradiška.

Every season we try to implement improvements in production through relationship with cooperants. We offer new varieties, new production technologies and most importantly, the price is adjusted to the market situation.

Collection of malting barley is being done on several collecting locations depending on the season. The main collecting place is in Nova Gradiška, and barley can also be collected in other places if needed.
During the delivery of barley,each trailer is being sampled to determine the quality of barley (moisture, protein, admixture, calibration).

Assortment of malting barley seed is adjusted to the needs of beer industry.

In production are only those varieties that give top quality malt.

Agrotechnics

Depending on whether the production of winter or spring barley we apply appropriate technology of production.

Diseases, weeds and pests acts to substantially reduce the yield and quality of barley. In order to prevent their negative impact, it is necessary to apply appropriate plant protection products. We should listen to the advice of the profession and follow the instructions issued on the application label.

Barley crop report

In order to ensure safe food, it is necessary to monitor the process of barley, malt and beer production, from “field to table”.

Because of this, all producers must fill up brewing barley crop report, for each production field.

The purpose of this is to provide product traceability. Producer is obliged to deliver filled report during harvest to our technological team. This is also a help for our producers to follow the production technology and the results achieved.
