Barley is one of the types of cereals with a one-year life cycle and belongs to the Gramineae family. Barley is one of the first grains cultivated by humans. Evidence shows that barley has been cultivated since about 10,000 years ago, especially in Eurasia. Globally, 70% of barley production is used as animal feed, while 30% is used as a fermentable material for beer and some distilled beverages, as well as in various foods such as soups and stews and in barley bread. In terms of production volume, in 2017, barley ranked fourth among cereals after corn, rice, and wheat (149 million tons).
In 2021, the world production of barley is 145 million tons, of which 14% belongs to Russia. Australia, France, Germany, and Ukraine are some other major producers. The largest producers of barley in the world are:
One of the types of barley is oat, which is considered one of the most complete and best cereals. This type of barley is a rich source of antioxidants, fiber, minerals, and vitamins and is usually available as groats or flakes. Oats have many health benefits and help treat diseases. Although this type of barley has high nutritional value and unique healing properties, its consumption among people is less than other grains. Oats take a long time to cook; For this reason, most people prefer to use rolled oats instead. Flaky oats cook faster and are softer. Oats are usually eaten for breakfast and boiled in milk or water. In addition, this type of oats will be of great use in cookies and granola.
Hulled oats or oats without hulls are considered whole grains and are among the most widely used and popular grains around the world. This seed goes through a process to remove its inedible coating. Hulled barley has a high nutritional value and provides the nutrients required by the human body. This type of barley is used to cook all kinds of soups, and food.
Rolled Oats are another type of barley that is rich in nutrients such as iron, thiamin, fiber, antioxidants, etc. This product has many properties and prevents blood vessels from clogging. As a result, it will greatly reduce the risk of heart disease. As you know, oats have a very high nutritional value, but due to their hardness, they will also be highly perishable. In order to make it easier to use, in the first step, they remove the oat husk, then steam it and dry it, and in the last step, with the help of rollers, they turn it into smooth or cracked pieces. The difference between oats and rolled oats is that rolled oats are crushed; while oats will be consumed in the form of seeds.
The best time to plant barley is usually early spring or early fall. This plant is sensitive to low temperatures and less than zero degrees. Therefore, if you choose the autumn season for barley cultivation, you should harvest the crop earlier. If you delay the planting time of barley, the appearance of the crops will be thinner and they will face protein deficiency. The cost of barley cultivation per hectare also depends on the amount of seed used. The best time to harvest barley is late night or early morning. In addition, its required humidity will be around 30 - 40%. If the barley plant is not harvested at the specified time, its moisture will decrease and its seeds will fall. You can also estimate the right time to harvest barley from its appearance. When the plants turn yellow, you can harvest them. The best way to harvest barley is also a combine harvester. After harvesting barley, they reduce its moisture content and dry it to prevent product spoilage. After planting barley and harvesting it, you should use the fertilization process to enrich the soil. After each crop harvest, the amount of nutrients in the soil decreases and with the help of compost or organic fertilizers, the lost materials can be restored.
Barley is one of the most important products that is very active in the field of export and import in Iran. This product is used for both animals and humans and is full of vitamins and minerals. Barley is one of the grains that is also used for animal feed. This nutritious product makes the animals that feed on it grow better. Today, with the increase in the demand for meat all over the world, the need to export and import livestock has also increased. Exported barley is of high quality and therefore has many fans in most countries. Most of the barley consumed in the country is produced by domestic farmers, and this causes the price of barley to be determined based on the domestic market and the amount of production. The price of imported barley is also determined based on the price of barley in the market and is highly dependent on it. Usually, the price of domestic barley is higher than the price of the foreign type if the foreign type is available in the market, and the reason is the quality of the domestic product. Of course, the price of domestic and foreign atmospheres depends on many variables such as product quality, humidity level, etc. Also, the cost of production and harvest affects the price of domestic and foreign barley, and if the cost of production and harvest increases, the price of domestic and foreign barley also increases. In addition, the increase in the inflation rate in the country has caused the price of many items in the market to increase and has affected domestic and foreign prices as well.
