Barley, other

cpc code 01152 covers the production of barley that does not fall under the more specific categories of malting barley or feed barley. This 'other' barley is an important cereal grain with a wide range of applications in the food, beverage, and animal feed industries. As a versatile and widely-grown crop, barley production plays a significant role in the global agricultural economy.

Barley production typically involves planting the crop, managing weeds and pests, and harvesting the mature grain. Farmers may use a combination of manual labor, machinery, and agricultural chemicals to optimize yields. The harvested barley is then cleaned, dried, and stored before being transported to processing facilities or markets.

The main inputs required for barley production under cpc code 01152 include arable land, seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, farm equipment (e.g., tractors, harvesters), and labor. Access to water for irrigation may also be important in some regions. Producers rely on a range of technologies and resources to efficiently grow and harvest the barley crop.

The primary output of this industry is the barley grain itself, which can be used for 01151 Barley, malting or 01153 Barley, for feed, as well as for human consumption in foods and beverages. Barley may also be used as an ingredient in 23320 Prepared animal feeds or as a source of animal bedding. The straw from the barley plants can also be utilized for various purposes, such as livestock fodder or biofuel production.
