Barley
Our barley is cultivated in Ethiopia and Somalia using both heirloom and improved varieties. Cleaned, graded, and tested for malting and food applications.
We offer high-quality barley grown in the fertile lands of Ethiopia and Somalia. Barley may be one of the world’s oldest cultivated grains, but at Nova Trade we approach it with modern precision and care, yielding a product ideal for both food processing and malting purposes. Sourced from select farms in East Africa, our barley stands out for its purity, nutritional value, and the sustainable way it’s grown.
