Translation of "Futtergerste" in English

In addition, the cultivation of malting barley is less harmful for the environment than that of feed barley.

Algeria and Tunisia, both bought 50.000 tons of barley.

The area under fodder barley was probably influenced in the past by a number of factors.

Nonetheless, to facilitate the end of the marketing years for the European Union market, we are thinking of suspending customs duties for imports under the tariff quotas for common wheat of low and average quality and for feed barley in the belief that this is one of the measures that could help to ease the market a little at European level.

The reduced-duty import quota opened by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 [2] for common wheat of low and medium quality and the reduced-duty import quota for feed barley opened by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2305/2003 [3] were much under-used in 2010, with a percentage of 13 % and 5 % respectively.

Farmers will grow high quality malting barley for a growing market that, unlike feed barley, will not end up in the Community intervention scheme.

Since the start of the 2007/2008 marketing year, the price of milling wheat in Rouen has risen from EUR 179 per tonne to almost EUR 300 per tonne at the start of September 2007 while the price of feed barley in Rouen has more than doubled over summer 2006 rates, reaching up to EUR 270 per tonne at the end of September 2007.

In this context, in order to make it easier to maintain a flow of imports which will help maintain EU market equilibrium, it is therefore considered appropriate to temporarily suspend customs duties for the import tariff quotas for common wheat of low and medium quality and feed barley opened by Regulations (EC) No 1067/2008 and (EC) No 2305/2003 respectively, until 30 June 2011, end of the 2010/11 marketing year.

For feed barley, there is an annual Tariff Rate Quota of 306 215 tonnes with a duty of €16/tonne.

Soufflet, which specialise in the collection, international trading, storage and processing of grain (cereals, maize, brewing barley, feed barley, soy-bean cake, maltmaking, milling, etc), are located at quai Général Sarrail, 10400 Nogent-sur-Seine, France.

With the exception of the price ratio (bacon pigs : barley meal), all the above factors go a long way towards accounting for the area under fodder barley:

The total domestic production of fodder cereals would total 938 000 tons in 1977 (I09 000 tons of wheat, 692 000 tons of fodder barley and 137 000 tons of oats).

An exception to past trends occurred for cereals and rice, whose real prices were 4.7% higher than a year earlier, due to increases of 16.6% for maize, 6.1% for soft wheat and 2.5% for feed barley, and despite lower real prices for durum wheat (7.8%), rice (-6.2%) and malting barley (-3.9%).

For the principal cereals, the following price changes are predicted: soft wheat (-7.2%), feeding barley (-9.1%) and grain maize (-1.1%).

The fall in the price index for cereals and rice was due to declines for each of the cereals, notable soft wheat (-7.8%) and feeding barley (-9.2%).

This price decrease, a consequence of the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy, was seen for feeding barley (-2.1%), soft wheat (-3.0%) and grain maize (-4.7%).

We shall not construct a special weather dummy variable for fodder barley since it can hardly be assumed that barley, which is far less sensitive to weather conditions than wheat, will show a perceptible reaction to weather conditions at the time of sowing when wheat did not.

As a result, the information that the rise of 123$ in the milk price from 1967/69 to 1977 is accompanied by a 65$ increase in the price of fodder barley is virtually suppressed ("level effect").

We must assume the same for dairy and beef farmers as we did for producers of fodder barley.

The predicted decrease for cereals and rice results from forecast price declines for all the individual products:- durum wheat (-0.9%), oats (-8.2%), feeding barley (-10.0%), soft wheat (-10.5%), "other cereals" (-10.6%), malting barley (-12.6%), rice (-15.2%) and maize (-15.8%).

Barley consumption increased from four million tonnes to six million tonnes in the reference period, most of this consumption being for fodder purposes.

Figures available at the end of the year showed a 3.9 % rise in EU producer prices in 2003 (+1.4 % after inflation). The biggest increases were for eggs (+15.8 %), fresh fruit and vegetables (+13.8 % and +11.9 %, respectively), potatoes (+9.8 %), wine (+8.4 %), common wheat (+7.5 %) and barley (+6.0 % malting, +5.9 % feed).

The most important factor for pig farming is probably the prioe ratio (pigs for slaughter : fodder grain), and the fodder grain price is best represented by the price for fodder barley, since barley is by far the most important of the grains used for fattening pigs.

The price of milk appears as an important explanatory variable in the equations for determining the area under fodder barley, the number of cows, the number of ewes and the number of sows - this covers all the key products of Irish agriculture.

The substan tial deviations from the long-term trend could have been caueed by both the changes in the price ratio (wheat : fodder barley) and the weather conditions obtaining when the wheat was sown.
