Barley

HS v2022 Code: 1003

About barley

HS code 1003 covers barley, a cereal grain that is widely cultivated around the world. Barley is a staple food crop and an important ingredient in the production of animal feed, malt, and various alcoholic beverages. As a resilient and adaptable grain, barley plays a significant role in global food security and the broader agricultural economy.

Production process

Barley is primarily grown through traditional farming methods. The production process typically involves planting, harvesting, and processing the grain. Farmers carefully select and prepare the soil, sow the barley seeds, and manage the crop throughout its growth cycle. Harvesting is usually done mechanically, with combines separating the grain from the stalks. Post-harvest, the barley may undergo various processing steps, such as cleaning, drying, and storage, to prepare it for further use.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for barley production include arable land, suitable climate conditions, agricultural machinery, and labor. Farmers also rely on quality seeds, fertilizers, and pest control measures to ensure a healthy and productive barley crop. Additionally, access to water resources and transportation infrastructure are important for the efficient cultivation and distribution of barley.

Production outputs

Barley is a versatile grain with a wide range of applications. The primary outputs of the barley industry include 1003 Barley for food and animal feed, 1107 Malt for the production of beer and other alcoholic beverages, and 2309 Preparations used in animal feeding for livestock feed. Barley is also used in the manufacturing of 1104 Cereal grains otherwise worked and 1901 Malt extract; food preparations of flour, groats, meal, starch or malt extract, among other products.
