The Malting Company of Ireland was proud to join Dairygold Co-Operative Society Ltd growers at the recent Dairygold Tillage Conference, where we took the opportunity not only to discuss the future of Irish malting barley, but also to showcase our refreshed MCI branding.

During the conference, our team spoke about an issue that sits at the heart of our business – how we source and use high-quality Irish malting barley, and how close collaboration with growers is essential to future-proofing our supply chain.

MCI relies on the expertise, dedication, and professionalism of more than 600 Dairygold and Tirlán growers. The premium Irish malt we produce for brewing and distilling markets worldwide is made possible by the consistently high-quality barley grown on Irish farms.

As the agri-food and drinks industries face increasing challenges – from evolving market conditions to sustainability targets and the journey towards Net Zero – collaboration has never been more important. By working closely with our growers, we can develop solutions that are practical, sustainable, and commercially viable, while continuing to deliver a strong and consistent market return.

Together with our grower partners, MCI is committed to ensuring that Irish malting barley continues to set a global benchmark for quality, traceability, and environmental responsibility, now and into the future.
