:Co?th .1"J2 harvest ontat cituation
regarding theproduction andmarketing ofhops
Council Regulation (EEC)HoI696/I/7Iof26July 1971 onthecommon
organization ofthemarket inhops requires theCommission ,each year "before
30April |tosubmit areport totheCouncil onthesituation regarding the
production andmarketing ofhops andconclude itbymaking proposals for
aid ,perhectare ,fortheharvest ofthepreceding calendar year .This year ,
however ,the data which areindispensable fordrawing upthe
report reached theCommission too late for ittomeet theprescribed
deadlines .Moreover ,examination ofthedata showed that there were a
number ofnewproblems regarding theconclusions tobedrawn forproposing
aid .These difficulties areaccounted forfirst bythenumber ofvarieties
increasing from 12to21owing totheenlargement oftheCommunity ,and
second bythetrend ofreturns foreach variety ,which were different in
many cases .The"varietal "system laid down byRegulation (EEC)No1696/71
isleading toanincreasing complexity which ismaJeing itdifficult to
apply .

Area under hops (Tables Aland A2)
Thearea under hops inthe enlarged Community ,which had "been relatively -
stable until 1963 (l8000to19000hectares )totalled 27500hectares in
1972 ,i.e. anincrease ofalmost 50%over thelast tenyears .Theincrease
wasespecially noticeable during 1971 and 1972 ,when itwas approximately
12foper annum .Each year' theincreased area isalmost entirely aresult of
theincrease inthe German hop gardens ,2600 and 2800hectares' in1971
and 1972 respectively .Theincrease intheHallertau region ofGermany ,
representing over 50%ofthetotal area intheenlarged Community ,wasalmost
2100hectares in1972 (75%of "theincrease intheFederal Republic of
Germany andinthe Community ),,analysed asfollows :

Elsewhere inGermany areas were increased "by63hectares (6%)inSpalt ,
29hectares (8fo)intheHersbrucker Gebirge ,79hectares {22%)intheJura
and47hectares (4^)inTettnang ,themajority "being planted with aromatic
varieties .
Inthe case of-theUnited Kingdom ,second largest hopproducer inthe .
Community ,areas decreased from approximately 8000hectares to
approximately 7000hectares in1972 (-12.5$ )after avery slight increase in
1970 and 1971 (7100and 7200hectares respectively ). Themain varieties
areFaggies (2101hectares ),Bramling Cross (l182hectares ),Golding
(965hectares )WGV(766hectares ),Bullion (605hectares )andNorthern
Brewer (434heotares ).
InFrance there was anoverall increase inarea of146hectares :

InBelgium theoverall area under hops declined slightly ,though there was
anincrease of30hectares 494% )in-theRecord variety round Aalst .
Thearea tinder hops inIreland increased "by2hectares (4/0•Theonly two
varieties planted are Northern Brewer and Fuggles .
Italy ,theNetherlands ,Denmark andLuxembourg donotproduce hops in
marketable quantities .

B. Yield andproduction (Table B)
Asin1971 1yields from hopcultivation were very low.For the enlarged
EECthe average yield in1972 was even lower than in1971 1huttheyield
increased slightly for the Six.Hie phenomenon ofnew plantings and
acreage notyetinfull production was again apparent .InGermany these
newareas represent .12.5% ofthetotal hopacreage .Eveniftheyield
calculations are corrected bydisregarding production from these new •
areas ,they remain atarelatively lowlevel of33Ztr/hectare' 1'forthe
enlarged Community and36Ztr/hectare fortheSix (anincrease ofa .
little over 1Ztrhectare incomparison with 1971 )*
Aromatic varieties generally show adecreased yield even ifthe new
areas are exelude d .Hallertauer did,however ,show aslight
increase in1972 over 1971 *buttheyield remained very lowincomparison
with the preceding years .
Bitter varieties also showed adecrease ,except fornorthern Brewer ,
which showed aslight increase .Onaverage ,yield from thevarieties
cultivated intheUnited Kingdom was20$ down onthe 1971 harvest .
nine Member States ofthe Community inhis actual composition
Total production inthe ./ amounted to858 000Ztr,anincrease of
68000 Ztron1971 (8.6$ )and 16000Ztr on1970 (l-9$ )* "theSixthe
increase was 120000 Ztr *vincomparison with 1971 »i.e. 21$upalmost
entirely inGermany (25$).

Cé Pri.ces andcontracts (Table C)
For the 1972 harvest theprice ofhops sold under advance contracts in
the Community of 'the Six generally remained atthe same level asfor the
1971 harvest (Table C3).Theprice ofhopvarieties cultivated inthe
United Kingdom went upvery sharply during thelast twocrop years ("by
about 12to15$for1971/72and20to25$for1972/73).Although the
level ofprices attheoutset was below that ofthe Six,they have now
reached alevel well above that oftheprices ruling onthe Continent .
After the sharp rise in1971 »"theprice ofhops notcontracted forin
advance dropped almost tothe 1970 level in1972 .
.Then again ,.theratio of"non-contract 11,^^"contract "prices ,which was
168to100inthe Community fell to10yin1972 .For some varieties this
difference vas even greater :

Asintheprevious year ,approximately 85%ofallhops were sold under
advance contracts .Thefigure wasalmost 90$inHallertavi foi*'th6""

85$inoneyear forBrewer 'sGold intheHallertau region .•Inthe
United Kingdom (hops Marketing Board rules )andinIreland allhops are
sold under contract .

D. Returns perhectare (Table B)
Returns perhectare depend onyields andprices ,which in1972 were
generally alittle lower than in1971 *
Asinthecase ofyields ,ifreturns from theoldplantings aretaken
into account ,even Eallertauer shows only avery slight increase .For
theother varieties ,thedrop wasquite considerable ,inparticular for
Spalter ,Strisselspalt ,Saaz andRecord ,Returns from Tardif deBourse gne
increased slightly .Returns from theother continental varieties did
drop ,hutthey were still atafair level .Despite theconsiderable
increase intheprice ofEnglish' -.varieties ,poor yields meant lower
returns fornearly allvarieties except Fuggles andBullion .
Acomparison of1972 returns with average 1969-71 returns shows a
decrease forallvarieties other than Northern Brewer ,Fuggles andBullion .
Inshort ,in1972 thelvel ofreturns fortheMine "based onoldplantings
was3237u.a./hectare .This is68u.a."below 1971 returns and149u.a.
"below 1969-71 average .
IntheSix1972 returns were 3308u.a./hectare (still "based onold
plantings ),i.e. 150u.a.less than 1971 returns and367u.a.less than
the1969-71 average .
Returns forthevarieties cultivated intheUnited Kingdom were 3042u.a.
i.e. 62u.a .more than the1971 returns and269u.a .more than the
1969-71 average . '

E. Trade and forward planning inthemarket inhops (Tables Eland E2)–wjtwc . u.ii n– i– n-i i–i*r«*Bitumnn itmmmmm * '
Assessment ofthe supply situation inthe market inhops ismeeting with
difficulties ,particularly asregards thevarious processed products .A
detailed assessment based onexisting statistical material isstill
difficult tomake .
Nevertheless ,Tables Egive anidea ofthevery considerable trade talcing
place with non-nembor countries ,which isdueespecially totheir
requirement r,asto'quality andvariety .
Aforecast ofhop requirements based onthe steady increase inworld beer
production (3%per annum ), ,•-
mirfit produce the following figures :
World Harvest 1972 1973
Beer production (million hl) 680 700*
IIoprequirements (million Ztr) 2.124 . 2.200 *

Yield (ztr/hectare ) 25*6 ** • 26.3 ***
*estimate **crop 1971 ***crop 1972
Whereas world hopproduction in1972 was 2O89 nrilL.Ztr,therequirements
for1973 maybeestimated at2200m Ztr,i.e. ashortfall of111000Ztr
which might bemade good inoneofthethree following ways : -
(i)anincrease inyield ofabout 28.2 Ztr/hectare ,provided that
there isnoincrease inarea :

-3- Vl/2502/73-E
(ii)anincrease inarea of4000hectares ,which will increase
thetotal area to82000hectares ,provided that theyield
remains atthelevel of26.8 Ztr/hectares ;
(iii)anincrease inyield of "between 26.8 and28.2 Ztr/ha,plus
anincrease inarea "between 0and4000hectares .
Given theincrease inarea under hops intheCommunity ineach ofthelast
twoyears ("between 2000and3000hectares ),mainly inGermany ,thetrend
could possibly lead toaworld surplus inhops some time inthefuture .
Thepossibilities ofextending theCommunity*s area under hops depend on:
(i)theincrease inbeer production ;
(ii)thequantity ofhops needed toproduce onehiofbeer ;
(iii)fluctuations inyields ;
(iv)developments inforeign trade .
P. Conclusions andproposals foraid to"producers
Theslight increase inyields forallthehopvarieties cultivated inthe
Sixin1972 ,coupled with thestability oftheprice ofhops sold under
advance contracts andthe9%decrease intheprice ofhops sold onthe
free market have ledtoaverage returns slightly below those of1971 •

-'9-
Nevertheless ,some varieties have been greatly extended inarea .This is
especially thecase forbitter varieties -approximately 30%forNorthern
Brewer (1.337 hectares )andBrewer 'sGold (571hectares )and 120%for
Record (121hectares )-butalso foraromatic varieties ,which have
increased byapproximately 120%inthecase ofHersbrucker (877hectares )
andHiiller Bitterer (138hectares ) .and70%inthecase ofTettnanger
(b2khectares ).
There therefore seems nojustification forgranting aid for these
varieties .
With dueregard fortheevolution ofreturns perhectare ,theCommission
proposes that aid befixed asfollows :
Variety UA/hectare
Hallertauer 300
Saaz 300
Spalter 300
Strisselspalt 600
Tardif deBourgogne 300
The Commission feels that these sums ,inview ofthereturns ofrecent
years ,should help toassure growers ofafair income forthese
varieties .
Asthecommon organisation ofthemarket inhops isnotapplicable inthe
newMember States for the1972 crop ,noaid isenvisaged for thevarieties
harvested inthese States .
