보리의 수확후 건조, 저장, 가공, 포장, 출하 등 유통단계별 문제점을 도출하고 해결방안을 모색하고자 찰쌀보리 집단재배 지역인 충남논산(부적)과 전남영암(군서)에서 처리실태를 조사한 결과 수확단계에서 보리의 수확기간이 16~20일로 짧아 노동력이 집중되는 것과 범용콤바인으로 수확할 경우 쓰러진 보리를 수확하기 곤란한 점 및 크라스콤바인을 임대하여 수확할 때 무리한 작업일정에 따른 2~3%의 수확손실 발생 등이 문제점으로 지적되었다. 건조단계에서는
This study was carried out to understand the problems, and find out the solution of post - Harvest related procedures for barley in Korea. Consecutive post - harvest procedures in harvesting, drying, milling, packaging and marketing methods were collaborately surveyed at Bujeok (Chungchongnamdo) and Kunsuh (Cholanamdo) agricultural cooperative federation where Chalssalbori (waxy barley) and Ssalbori (non waxy barley) were collectively cultivated in a group farming area, respectively. An early harvesting and relatively short harvesting period within 15 to 20 days to transplanting rice plants as a succeeding crop lead to produce undergrade barley and 2 to 3% harvesting loss were considered as the problem that should be improved. In drying of barley, wide moisture content range of harvested barley among the different farmers and cultivation land was made difficult barley drying unifomly when they were dried in same dryer and drying temperature was slightely higher with 50 to 70 than that of optimum temperature (under 50) fer barley drying for producing the high quality barley. Dried barley packaged in ton-bag or 3P bag and put into the rectangular grain bin were stored in ambient temperature warehouse and milled for marketing through whole you. The physico-chemical properties and taste of stored barley were fairly maintained until May next year.
