The current state of barley processing enterprises and actual conditions of processed products containing barley in circulation have been investigated. This survey was done in order to set up countermeasures for stable supply and demand of domestic barley consequential to the abolition of procurement system of barley. Liquor-excepted barley processing companies were 153, and 17 items of processed products containing barley and 240 processed products were examined. Mixed grain was the most found among the processed products containing barley, followed with polished waxy barley. The price of polished barley products increased as the grain was more processed and waxy. Eco-friendly products were more expensive than normal products on an average of 41% with a range variation of 12% to 93%. Some processed products containing barley were four times more expensive than other same products made by different companies but actually there weren't any special difference among the products in terms of quality. Only 31% of the products known as waxy barley could be accepted as 'actual' waxy barley. The rest of them were mixed with non-waxy barley and some of them were even entirely consisted of non-waxy barley. In case of barley malt products, more than a half of them were below the standard of the diastatic power (150 DP). About 24% of the products were below 100 DP which means the product were in a really bad condition. However, there weren't any relation between the quality and price as some bad products were even more expensive than others. Therefore, it can be said that the introduction of a quality grading system is needed for proper quality control of waxy barley or barley malt products.
