Eastern U.S. fruit, other PNW, British Columbia and Chile are all players on the supply side. Attention to post-harvest treatments, transportation options and size availability are important to the expansion of Washington's market share. Pear markets grow steadily and are well served. Costa Rican breweries buy Washington hops as a fairly static percentage of their brewing requirements. J. I. Haas, Steiner, Fromm-Mayer Bass and Lupofresh were mentioned by brewmasters at the two major beer producers.
Panamanian brewers seem less familiar with Washington hops.
PNW wines are notably absent from the shelves in both countries. U.S. wines on the market are Gallo and Sutter Home and the Boone fruit wine selections. Wines from Chile, Spain and France are prevalent in both countries. Some efforts by PNW wineries seem to be justified. Both Costa Rica and Panama import pulses.
