ECONOMY NEWS
- ➤ Researchers at the U of A Division of Agriculture found that malted rice can lower beer production costs by 2% to 12% and cut land use, a change that may boost local rice demand as exports have dropped 7% over 15 years. The study published in Nature partner journal Sustainable Agriculture shows this old process can make gluten-free beer with fewer extra steps—helping small brewers use Arkansas rice—while keeping costs down.
