The Rural Development Administration explains that barley is classified into types with different uses and characteristics, such as hulled barley, rice barley, and malting barley, noting that hulled barley is used for cooked rice, malt, and barley tea, while two-row barley is used as a raw material for beer. ( Nongsaroo )

According to a 2026 survey by the National Data Bureau, the total cultivated area for barley is 37,250 ha, the yield per 10a is 365 kg, and the production volume is 135,881 tons; production figures are based on rough grain. ( National Data Bureau )

Plant Identity

The Rural Development Administration distinguishes between hulless barley, whose hull easily separates from the grain, and hulled barley, whose hull does not separate easily, and explains that two-row barley is primarily used domestically as an ingredient for beer.

Product Master

In the barley technical information section of Nongsaroo, data on hulled barley, rice barley, malting barley, and green barley, as well as major varieties by use and information related to cultivation, pests and diseases, overwintering, and harvesting, are managed as separate categories. ( Nongsaroo )

The Rural Development Administration provides guidance on the importance of managing drainage and sowing time in barley cultivation, and emphasizes the maintenance of drainage ditches to prevent waterlogging damage in spring sowing techniques. ( Rural Development Administration )

Maintain the following Lot inheritance structure at each stage.

The brewing suitability of malting barley must be assessed separately from that of general table barley, and the Rural Development Administration mentions characteristics such as protein, wort yield, and enzymatic activity regarding the quality of malting barley. ( Nongsaroo )

Korean production structure

According to the National Data Administration's 2026 official crop production survey, the national barley cultivation area is 37,250 hectares , and the production volume is 135,881 tons (paddy) . Compared to the previous year, the cultivation area increased by 47.6% and the production volume by 47.3%. ( National Data Administration )

Production volume is based on rough grain . ( National Data Center )

In 2026, barley production by province was ranked as follows: the integrated Jeonnam-Gwangju region at approximately 63,000 tons (46.1% of the total), Jeonbuk at approximately 54,000 tons (39.5%), and Gyeongnam at approximately 8,000 tons (5.5%). ( National Data Center )

Demand structure

An important point in the current barley market operation is not to judge supply and demand based solely on total barley production volume, but to separate the uses and actual buyers of hulled barley, rice barley, and malting barley .

trade

The basic international HS 4-digit product group for barley is HS 1003 (Barley) . In actual trade, the specific tariff code must be reconfirmed with the Korea Customs Service depending on whether it is seed and the processing status of the product.

When official figures are not confirmed, Korean production and import volumes are not arbitrarily added together.

The potential for utilizing by-products as food, food materials, extracts, fermentations, animal feed, compost, or biomaterials shall be reviewed, but  they shall not be finalized as actual products until safety, legal compliance, and economic feasibility are confirmed.

PRP — Product Research Profile

PRP is not a general promotion stating that “barley is good for health,” but a Product Research Profile that verifies variety, raw material specifications, processability, product specifications, Buyer requirements, and repurchase potential .

AX's performance is evaluated not by the number of installed sensors, but by the data recording rate, reduction in quality deviation, contract fulfillment rate, processing yield, repurchase rate, and reduction in claims .

Official statistics showing that the barley cultivation area expanded by 47.6% and production increased by 47.3% in 2026 compared to the previous year demonstrate that the connection between actual demand, inventory, contracts, and processing capacity following the production expansion is a key Problem Bank item.
