Tsingtao Brewery, China's second-largest brewer, added CDC Churchill to its accepted malting barley varieties. The Canadian Malting Barley Technical Centre released its 2027-28 Recommended Malting Barley Varieties List on the same occasion, moving CDC Copeland into the additional varieties category.
Export acceptance of Canadian malting varieties in China supports demand for Canadian barley, but the change is a varietal reshuffle with little immediate effect on feed barley supply or prices. Buyers should read it as a longer-term shift in export demand.
