Earlier Report Observations

Barley production in Yemen started at 16 888 t in 2018, with the Ministry of Agriculture promoting new high-yield varieties like the six‑row 'Muhib' cultivar to boost farm productivity in regions such as Bani Matar. This support for improved seeds contributed to a strong upward trend, and by 2021 output had more than doubled to 41 635 t.

After reaching a peak in 2021, production dipped modestly to 40 043 t in 2022 and then stabilized at 40 220 t in 2023. That year, Yemen achieved 100% self‑sufficiency in barley as a result of government policies that prioritized local grain production, while the emergence of drought‑tolerant and cold‑resistant multi‑row barley varieties helped sustain high cultivation yields.
