Lentils

Lentils make up 25–35% of Australia’s annual pulse crop, with around 1.1 million tonnes produced each year—primarily in South Australia and Victoria. Australia is a major exporter of high-quality red and green lentils, supplying key markets across the Indian subcontinent, Middle East, Asia, and Europe.

Red lentils are the most widely grown, available in various sizes and shapes, and commonly split for dahl, soups, and purees.

Green lentils, also known as Continental lentils, are valued for their large seed size and light colour, and are used whole in traditional dishes and gourmet foods.

Renowned for their quick cooking time, nutritional value, and versatility, Australian lentils are consumed in everything from soups and curries to baked goods, snack foods, and baby food.

Australia is a global leader in high-quality malting and feed barley, producing an average of 12.8 million tonnes annually, with 55–70% exported worldwide. Australian barley is highly regarded for its plump, bright grains, low moisture, cleanliness, and excellent malting performance.


Malting barley is prized by brewers and distillers across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe for its high germination, extract yield, and brewing versatility.


Feed barley is in strong demand due to its consistent nutritional profile, low mycotoxin levels, and benefits for animal health.


Supported by world-class breeding, testing, and quality assurance systems, Australian barley meets rigorous standards for beer production, spirits, stockfeed, and food-grade use.
