Barley by area, production and humidity

Barley includes winter barley sown before or during winter and spring barley sown in the spring. Cereal grains harvested just before maturity are also included. Cereals harvested green or yellow as whole plant for fodder or renewable energy use are excluded. The concepts of "area under cultivation" and "harvested production" apply. In order to facilitate the comparisons of production figures between the Members States the figures have been converted from national humidity degrees into the standard EU humidity (14%).
