Quality Wheat Straw for Biomass, Agriculture and Industrial Applications
MAA Associate supplies Wheat Straw, a natural agricultural by-product obtained after harvesting wheat grains. It consists mainly of the dried stems and leaves of the wheat plant and is widely used in biomass energy production, livestock bedding, agricultural applications, composting, and industrial processing.
Wheat straw is a renewable source of lignocellulosic biomass containing cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. These components make it a valuable raw material for businesses seeking alternative biomass fuels, agricultural materials, and feedstock for bio-based products.
Depending on availability and customer requirements, wheat straw may be supplied in loose, baled, or chopped form for suitable commercial and industrial applications.
Product Overview
Wheat straw is collected after wheat harvesting and can be used in various applications depending on its moisture content, cleanliness, quality, and processing requirements.
Its fibrous structure and renewable origin make it suitable for biomass fuel, composting, soil mulching, livestock bedding, and selected paper, pulp, and bio-based manufacturing processes.
MAA Associate focuses on sourcing and supplying agricultural raw materials according to customer requirements, with technical specifications to be confirmed for the intended application.

Technical Specifications of Wheat Straw
The following values are indicative references for dry wheat straw. A published study of agricultural biomass reported wheat straw with 8% moisture and 5.1% ash on an as-received basis; other studies report different values depending on sampling and test methods.
| Parameter | Typical Value |
|---|---|
| Product Name | Wheat Straw |
| Origin | Wheat harvesting and agricultural processing |
| Physical Form | Dry fibrous stems and leaves |
| Colour | Golden yellow to light brown |
| Moisture Content | Typically 8–15% for dry material |
| Ash Content | Approximately 5–10% in some samples; varies by source and test basis |
| Calorific Value | Approximately 14–17.5 MJ/kg, depending on moisture and measurement basis |
| Bulk Density | Varies with loose, chopped or baled form; around 60–100 kg/m³ is a general loose-biomass reference |
| Main Components | Cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and mineral matter |
| Supply Form | Loose, baled or chopped, subject to availability |
Note: These are general reference values. Calorific value may be reported on a higher or lower heating value basis and on a wet or dry basis. Please confirm the basis and actual values through laboratory testing.
