Barley is grown in small pockets of Assam and is primarily used for traditional food and animal feed. It has emerging potential in health and specialty food segments.

Barley cultivation in Assam is limited due to climatic conditions but holds potential in cooler and experimental agricultural zones. It is valued for its nutritional properties and can be used in health foods, malt based products, and livestock feed. With growing interest in diversified cropping and wellness foods, barley offers scope for niche cultivation and value added processing through MSMEs.
