Product Details
Wholesale Barley for Food, Feed and Brewing Applications
Barley is one of the world’s widely traded cereal grains and is used across food production, livestock feed, malting, brewing, milling, and industrial processing.
Commercial buyers normally evaluate barley according to its intended application. Malting and brewing customers may require different quality parameters from animal-feed or food-processing buyers.
TG-Trading B.V. works with international B2B customers requiring commercial quantities for processing, distribution, and commodity trading. Available specifications can be discussed according to the buyer’s intended use, destination, and required quality standards.
What Is Barley?
Barley is a cereal grain from the grass family and is cultivated for food, feed, malt, brewing, and various processing applications.
The grain can be supplied in different grades depending on its end use. Common commercial categories can include feed barley, food-grade barley, and malting barley.
Quality parameters may vary significantly between these categories. Buyers should therefore clearly specify their intended application when requesting a quotation.

Common Uses
Animal Feed Production
Feed-grade is commonly used as an energy source in livestock and animal-feed formulations.
It may be incorporated into feed for cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry, and other livestock depending on the manufacturer’s formulation.
Malting and Brewing
Selected varieties and grades can be processed into malt for brewing beer and producing other malt-based beverages.
Malting buyers generally require more specific parameters, including germination performance, grain size, moisture, protein, and overall kernel quality.
Food Processing
Food-grade barley can be processed into products such as flour, flakes, soups, cereals, pearl barley, and other grain-based foods.
Milling
Processors can mill the grain into flour and meal for use in different food formulations and specialty cereal products.
Industrial Applications
Depending on the grade and market, the grain may also be used in starch, fermentation, and other industrial processing applications.
