Euromalt: The 2006 European malting barley crop
Euromalt, representing the E.U. Malting Industry, has decided to issue a memorandum on the challenges that are confronting our industry as a direct consequence of the disastrous 2006 European grain harvest. The decision to issue this memorandum was taken during an extraordinary Euromalt Malting Barley Committee that was held on the 8th of November in Brussels. Much has already been written and much will be written about the consequences of what happened during the month of August this year. In this brief memorandum we will try to explain what happened to our raw material, malting barley, and what will be the consequences for our industry.
