Integrating the malt value chain
Malt and its co-products are used essentially in human and animal foods. This being the case, it is vital to be able to guarantee surveillance at all stages to ensure food safety in the marketing of these products.
Certain countries are structurally in deficit since they consume beer yet produce little or no barley.
Malt is the main ingredient of beer - it takes as much as 200 grams of malt to make a liter of beer. The other ingredients are water, hops (two grams per liter of beer), and yeast (one centiliter per liter of beer).
Working together with grain growers is a natural approach for Malteurop. Firstly because growers are at the very origin of Malteurop and because they are part of the Group’s shareholding structure via their cooperatives.
Malteurop conducts a research and development policy aimed at introducing innovations into the barley-malt-beer value chain. It concerns primarily control over raw materials – barley and malt – and improving industrial processes at malting plants.
