Freshdi Malt Barley suppliers come from 9 countries, led by Germany at 28.6%, as of 31 October 2026.
Only 14 suppliers are currently active in the Malt Barley category, and none of them have updated their listings in the last 30 days — just one did in the past 90. This means the supply is stable but static, so buyers should treat each supplier as a one-time contact rather than a long-term option. With few updates, the product specs and pricing are likely unchanged, which can simplify negotiations but also means buyers may miss out on new offers or changes in quality. There are 32 active listings for Malt Barley, offering a modest range of options across different grades and packaging. While not a deep catalog, it’s enough to find a match for standard requirements without needing to start from scratch. The low turnover suggests suppliers aren’t actively refreshing their inventory, so buyers should verify details directly to avoid relying on outdated information. Suppliers come from 9 different countries, with Germany accounting for 28.6% of the total. This geographic spread provides buyers with multiple sourcing options beyond just Germany, which is the largest contributor. For those seeking alternatives due to trade restrictions, supply chain risks, or preference for specific regional quality profiles, the other eight countries offer viable, though less dominant, alternatives.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Malt Barley listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 21 October 2026 - 32 active listings, 17 source documents, and 102 supply observations over the same period. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
Price and MOQ ranges are the interquartile range - the middle half of quotes, a quarter below and a quarter above - with the median reported alongside. A Malt Barley type is priced only once it holds at least 5% of supply price quotes and 3 priced listings with a real range; below that it is not listed. Buyer prices are compared only once there are at least 5 of them.
All prices are FOB, in USD per metric ton; quotes on other Incoterms are converted to a FOB equivalent. Freshdi does not hold a CIF price series for Malt Barley, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
