Germany: Winter barley crop expected to increase to about 9 mln tonnes this year

Germany's 2022 winter barley crop will increase to about 9 million tonnes from about 8.8 million tonnes last year, the association of German farmers DBV said on July 20.

Winter barley, generally used for animal feed, was generally fully developed before the current heatwave struck, it said in a harvest report.

But there is concern wheat in Germany is suffering heat stress, it said.
