Barley whole grain (Hordeum vulgare) is a highly resilient, nutrient-dense cereal grain that occupies a critical position in global agricultural trade, serving key roles across malting, animal feed, and health food industries. Aba Impex sources its premium whole barley from optimal temperate agricultural zones where disciplined farming methods produce grains with superior beta-glucan fiber content and high starch energy profiles. Our post-harvest handling utilizes state-of-the-art mechanical cleaning, multi-deck screening, and air aspiration to remove wild weeds, light straws, and sand particles. We offer both unhulled barley, which is highly valued for commercial animal feed and beverage malting, and gently pearled whole barley, which has the fibrous outer hull polished away for direct human food consumption. By maintaining low moisture levels in our storage facilities, we prevent insect infestation and mold growth, delivering reliable, high-purity grains that pass global phytosanitary border controls.

Types

• • Premium Pearled Barley (Outer hull removed; optimized for culinary lines)
  • Malting-Grade Barley (High germination viability for brewing industries)
  • Feed Barley Whole Grain (High protein/energy configuration for livestock)
