The idea of joint holding of VII Siberian Grain Forum and VI Field Day “Barley, Malt, Hops and Beer in Russia  was supported by the Ministry of Agriculture of the RF, the State Duma and the Federation Council of the RF, followed by welcome letters for participants and guests. Awarding of the best representatives of the industry by parliamentarians and the Federal Ministry is also bears noting.

The Minister of Agriculture of the RF A.N. Tkachev highly appreciated the activity of partner Unions focused on the development of the Russian agricultural complex:

So, I’d like to underline an important role of the Grain producers’ Union and Barley, Malt, Hops and Beer Union in solving of key problems of food safety of our country and the development of the domestic crop industry and a whole agricultural complex.

Over 300 companies of the agricultural complex and the brewing industry – participants of the technological chain: research and scientific institutes, breeding and seed production companies, grain, hop, malt and brewing, plant protecting and agricultural equipment producers took part in the discussion of the current industry problems. Guests from neighboring countries and beyond visited our country to share the experience and demonstrate new products of selection, agro-chemistry and technological devices.

Participants of the Forum and the Field Day underlined high potential of the Russian crop production and particularly, malting barley and also grain export success. They also discussed circulation of raw materials and alcohol products. All reports were further instantiated in trial plots.

The problem of hindering of the industry development and ways of solving were also discussed within the mentioned business events. According to the results of the discussion, participants carried a Resolution that will be directed to the Ministry of Agriculture of the RR, relevant departments and commissions of the State Duma, the Federation Council and the Public Chamber.

Field Day in the Isetsky district gathered agrarians of the Ural Federal District and also Omsk, Novosibirsk and Altay Regions. The key common topic was crops export. China was ready to purchase it in Russia. “We speak about any crops, but China is a great consumer of barley and soy. Meanwhile it isn’t about supplies of million tons, but it is possible in mid-term and it’ll highly influenced on specialty of production in Ural-Siberian region”, told the President of Barley, Malt, Hops and Beer Union Alexander Mordovin.

Russian barley is as good as foreign. But, if it is refers to large volumes, seed problem will occur. “Seeds of succeeding generation loose its quality, so increase of deliveries abroad will involve local seed production and other agricultural sectors. It is impossible to get high yield without having quality seeds,” told the Director of Rosslekhozcenter Alexander Malko.      

Conditions for cultivation of barley in the Tyumen Region are suitable. It occupies 140 thousand ha, fifth part of all crops. It is an early crop – harvesting begins at the end of August. Two Russian varieties are grown in the region.

Pearl barley is got from barley but for these purposes a small part of crops is used. The rest is for forage. And as for malting barley, it is cultivated only in Ishimsky district. So agrarians will be careful and if it is profitable, they’ll prefer barley. “It is necessary to define barley supplies to China. May be, malting barley will be offered to Eastern partners,” told the Head of the Agricultural Department of the Tyumen Region Vladimir Chaymetov.
