Polish brewing industry has difficulties in procuring malting barley.Peer-reviewed article

T. GOLEBIEWSKI

The article deals with the scale on which malting barley is grown inPolandand ith existinwg purchasing and storing methods. Purchasing organizations do not operate very efficiently and have many difficulties resulting mainly from the structure of Polish agriculture, where small, family farms still prevail. Research institutes assess technologic properties of barley and classify individual varieties. Results serve for zoning and introduction of new varieties replacing inferior ones, i. e. less prolific and less suitable for malting. The author describes both basic varieties grown at present inPolandand new ones which - as promising - will be gradually introduced. Plans have been elaborated and are now step by step realized to create conditions ensuring sufficient supply of high quality barley both tor Polish brewing industry and export.
