Syngenta have been breeding malting barley for over 40 years. In that time we have shown we have the expertise to deliver class-leading varieties for you to grow for the brewing and distilling industry. Over the last 15 years, our malting barleys have accounted for more than 650,000 tonnes of certified seed sales and produced over 1.6 billion pints of beer.

“Having joined Syngenta in January 2018, I am the most recent addition to the Cereal breeders. My background combines barley genetics and field based research, prior to joining Syngenta I spent 8 years at The James Hutton Institute, Dundee. I am excited to join the Syngenta team which has a strong history of malting barley excellence as well as facing the challenge of breeding new varieties which fulfill the agronomic demands of farmers in tandem with the key quality requirements of the Maltster, Brewer and Distiller.”
