International Barley Hub

What is it?

The International Barley Hub is an initiative seeking to create a platform for the translation of barley research into economic, social, environmental and commercial impacts for the breeding, farming, malting, brewing, feed, food, health and related industries.

It is supported by the UK and Scottish governments through the Tay Cities Region Deal, a partnership between the UK and Scottish governments and public and private organisations across Angus, Dundee, Fife and Perth & Kinross that seeks to invest up to £700 million in projects promoting sustainable and inclusive prosperity for the region.

Find out more about the development of IBH in our latest newsletter: Hutton Tay Cities Region Deal Newsletter, July 2022 or watch our short video below:

The International Barley Hub is pleased to announce its 2022 series of seminars. Find out more on our Seminars page.

International Barley Hub Seminar Series

Barley

Barley is the fourth most important cereal crop in the world, grown in more than 100 countries and used for animal feed, human food and the production of alcohol.

Barley genetics and research

Rapid advances in genomics are leading to an unprecedented ability to identify causal genes, facilitating the selection of pools of enriched germplasm in the laboratory and improving the effectiveness of breeding programmes.

Barley breeding

Barley breeding in the UK is conducted by private companies with six conducting UK based breeding programmes: KWS UK, Limagrain UK, RAGT, Saaten Union, Secobra Recherches and Syngenta Seeds.

Barley breeding costs

The costs of running a breeding programme are in the order of £250k per annum. Costs for variety registration and protection, stock and seed production and marketing can add another £200k to the budget.
