Barley Improvement Program

Developing superior food and malting barley cultivars alongside agronomic packages to supply local malt industries and enhance rural nutrition.

Nationally mandated to coordinate lowland barley research, KARC has released 18 improved food and malt barley varieties since 2006. Work includes public-private partnerships with malt factories, micro-malting analysis, and early-generation seed scaling.
