WA Malt Barley Variety Receival Recommendations for the 2026/27 harvest

The GIWA Barley Council has released the WA Malt Barley Variety Receival Recommendations for the 2026/27 harvest.

Each year, the Council works with the WA barley value chain to provide guidance to growers and their advisers on which malting varieties are both sought by the market and agronomically suited to WA, and which therefore will likely be segregated by CBH.

It also flags varieties for which opportunities may exist for niche segregations or direct grower-to-buyer contracting.
