Australian oats are highly sought after for their excellent taste, aroma, brightness, and low moisture content. They are recognised for their ease of processing, along with their high milling yield, hectolitre weight and groat percentage. Key production areas within Australia include Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria, and New South Wales.
New oat varieties are developed with the goal of not only increasing farm yields but also enhancing quality and processing efficiency for end users. The Grains Australia Oat Classification program evaluates these varieties to determine their suitability for milling, ensuring they meet specific standards for hectolitre weight, screenings, and beta-glucan content.
The milling oat varieties classified by Grains Australia are added to the Milling Varieties List.
