Byelorussian Government is not satisfied with the country’s production of malting barley, country’s press reported on November 20. The figures of November 17 said that Belarus processed about 15.3 thousand tonnes of malting barley so far or 21.9% of needed volume. Out of this OAO Belsolod output 4.71 thousand tonnes, OAO Krinitsa 1.38 thousand tonnes, OAO Brestskoe Pivo – 1.81 thousand tonnes, OAO Slutsky Brewery - 1,44 thousand tonnes. The results were attributed to the drought registered in several parts of Belarus this year, and rains during the harvest. Another causes are non-observance of technology of processing malting barley and weak financing of farmers. Now Belarus is planning to organise a tender on importing malt and malting barley this year.

Byelorussian brewers consume about 80 thousand tonnes of malting barley per year. In the soviet time Belarus used to process about 200 tonnes of malting barley.
