COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMVÏUNITIES 
COM (92)281 final 
Brussels, 29 June 1992 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) 
laying down, In respect of hops, the amount of aid to producers 
for the 1991 harvest 
(presented by the Commission) 
REPORT OF THE COMMISSION TO THE COUNCIL 
on the production and marketing of hops 
(1991 harvest) 
(PCUL/EN/1270) 
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
It is proposed that on the basis of the attached Commission report on the 
production and marketing of hops for the 1991 harvest the Council adopt the 
proposal for a Régulât ion setting aid to hop producers for the 1991 harvest at 
the fol lowing levels: 
aromat ic var iet ies 
bitter varieties 
other varieties 
experimental varieties ECU 340/hectare 
ECU 340/hectare 
ECU 340/hectare 
ECU 340/hectare 
This proposal means a status quo in the average level of aid to producers as 
compared with the 1990 harvest. Since the average grower's returns per hectare 
decreased by 0.58% over the previous year (the average return per hectare in full 
production being ECU 5.618/ha) whereas production costs went up by 0.63% (the 
average production cost being ECU 7.809/ha), the maintenance of the level of aid 
appears to be Justified. 
According to the wishes repeatedly expressed by some Member States in the annual 
Council negotiations, it is proposed to have - as for the 1990 harvest - a single 
amount of aid applicable to all variety groups, including experimental strains. 
Fixing the amount of aid at ECU 340/ha slightly favours the aromatic varieties 
compared to the other varieties. This is in line with the general policy 
orientation for the sector. 
The cost of the proposal to the EAGGF, Guarantee Section, is estimated at 
ECU 9.71 mi I I ion.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, 
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 of 26 July 1971 on the 
common organization of the market in hops^1), as last amended by Regulation 
(EEC) No 2780/90(2), and in particular Article 12(7) thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Par Iiament^3), 
Whereas Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 provides that aid may be 
granted to hop producers to enable them to achieve a fair income; whereas the 
amount of this aid is fixed per hectare and differs according to varieties, 
taking into account the average return on the areas in full production compared 
with the average returns for previous harvests, the current position of the 
market and trends in costs; 
Whereas Article 12a of the same Regulation provides that aid to producers may 
also be granted for areas cultivated with experimental strains in order to 
facilitate the development of new varieties, 
Whereas an examination of the results of the 1990 harvest shows the need to fix 
aid for groups of varieties of hops cultivated in the Community; whereas aid to 
producers shall also be granted for areas cultivated with experimental strains;

1. Introduction 
Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 requires the Commission to 
present to the Council an annual report on the production and marketing 
of hops. The purpose of this report is to provide information on 
trends in production, prices and demand. 
This report» which is the 21st annual report presented by the 
Commission, outlines the main events in the 1991 harvest year. 
The Commission proposes that hop producers should once more be granted 
aid to supplement their Incomes. 
2. 1991 Harvest 
2.1. Wprld situation 
2.1.1. Product ion 
At a total of 93,272 ha worldwide, the area under hops in 1991 has 
increased compared to 1990 (see Annex, Table 1). However, In practice 
it is not possible to establish the exact size of this area, since for 
a number of major hop producing countries such as the CIS, China or 
Romania, only estimated figures are available. These countries are 
politically so closed off that no reliable figures can reach the 
outside or no data are available as a result of the lack of internal 
stat ist ics. 
With few exceptions, the area under hops increased or remained stable 
in all producer countries. However, a big increase (1,655 ha) was 
noticed in the USA which corresponds to 11.53% more than in 1990. 
Although not very significant in absolute terms, areas in Portugal and 
Ireland decreased by 30% and 50% respectively. 
Among the members of the IHGC (International Hop Growers Convention) 
slight decreases were noticed in Poland, Hungary and Bulgaria. It 
seems that Romania also decreased the hop area by 150 ha. 
(PCUL/EN/1139) 
~ 2 -
It should bo mentioned thst Table 1 of the Annex looses a bit different 
from the corresponding Tab!a 1 of the report relating to th 19S0 
iiarvesi. Indeed, two big hop producing countries arg now in-^tit ioncri 
separately, i.e. Slovsnia (separately from Yugoslavia) and the Ukraine 
(separately from the CIS). These two countries are now full Members of 
the i.H.G.C. On the contrary, figures for sx-QDR (German Democratic 
Republic) are now included in the figures for Gern<.-r.y. For the firs" 
time, figures arc now available for New Zealand. 
At about 2,520,357 ztr , the 1991 harvest was 15% (329,38<"* ztr) higher 
than the 1990 harvest and also higher by 5.48% than the average 
calculates for trie past twenty years (see Annex, Table 5). The alpha 
acid production was high and well above the long-term average 
(8,746 tonnes compared to the average of 7,357 tonnes, which Is 18.88% 
higher) at 6.94% aiph* acid. The Community Member States' production 
of alpha acid rose by more than 50% compared to 1990 and represents 
more than one third of the world production. 
The beer output tendency is characterized by a worldwide zero growth 
(the maximum possible increase being 0.5%) and is around 1,145 to 1,150 
million h! (see Annex, Table 6). To reach this output, t.ha amount of 
alpha acid needed would be between 7578S tonnes and 7,820 tonnes 
respectively (average 7,800 tonnes) fer a hopping rate of 6.3 g. alpha 
acid per hi. This would mean that for it\e first time since 1987, trere 
s.re enough hops on the market for the beer production worldvide and 
that there will be a surplus production of about 1,000 tonnes of alpha 
acid. 
2.1.2. Market trends 
In the light of the previous consideration, it Is obvious that the 
marketing year 1991/1992 was extremely quiet. 
Contract prices and spot prices on the German market were very near to 
the long term averages; prices on the USA market went up by 20% 
compared to the long-term average. 
2-2. Commun11y 
2.2.1. Production structure 
Ac in the agricultural sector in general, structural change in hop 
growing continued- At present, 6,250 farms in the Community produce 
hops (see Table 1), I.e. about 4.46% down on 1990. Over the sam© 
period, the average size of the area under hops per farm Increased from 
4.0 ha to 5.27 ha.

2.2.2 Product Ion 
At a total of 28,560.17 ha, the area under hops in the Community in 
1991 was 2,613.71 ha (10%) higher than in 1990 (see Annex, Table 1). 
This increase is mainly due to the inclusion of the figures relating to 
the former German Democratic Republic. However, the area in West 
Germany has again increased, as was the case in all previous years, but 
this time the increase is hidden behind the inclusion of the ex-GDR. 
Slight decreases in production areas were noticed in Spain, Portugal 
and Ireland and slight increases in France, Belgium and the United 
KIngdom. 
Although the prices paid to the producers are better, the area covered 
by aromatic varieties increased only slightly In the Community as 
compared with 1990; this is partly due to the fact that the varieties 
under production in the former G0R are mainly classified as bitter 
varieties. Aromatic varieties are now grown on 53% of the area under 
hops, the variety most represented still being the Hersbrucker (48.58% 
of the area covered by aromatic varieties). As already mentioned in 
the previous report, this level still represents a considerable 
potential risk as the hop market depends heavily on the varietal policy 
of a small number of large breweries. 
(PCUL/EN/1139) 
_ 4 » 
The proportion of the area given over to bitter varieties rose from 41% 
to 45% in 1991, mainly because of an important area increase of the 
Northern Brewer variety (about 1,650 ha due to the annexation of DDR) 
and the Target variety (about 400 ha). In the United Kingdom, there 
was an increase of about 300 ha of this latter variety, the reason 
being that Target is a super alpha variety-, yields and prices are good 
and conversion towards it is fully in line with market trends. In 
Spain and Portugal there are slight decreases. The decrease in 
Portugal is taking place because of varietal conversion; the area has 
been grubbed but not yet replanted. The Bullion variety which was 
previously cultivated in the Community, and then phased out, reappeared 
again with the annexation of GDR (where about 170 ha are covered). As 
regards the other varieties, it should be noted that the area covered 
has doubled compared to the 1990 harvest, mostly due to the annexation 
of the GDR. 
In terms of quantity, the 1991 harvest was much better than the 1990 
one and reached the figure of 916,873 zentners, the average yield per 
ha being 32.12 zentner. This figure is very close to that of 1981 
which was considered a very good harvest, although at that time Spain, 
Portugal and ex-GDR were not part of the Community. The quality of 
the production is very good, with good alpha acid levels, the Community 
average for the three groups of varieties being 6.78% alpha which Is 
above the long-term average and which gives an equivalent of 3,111 
million kg of alpha acids for the beer production in 1992 and an alpha 
output per ha of 108.94 kg/ha. 
2.2.3. Sales and prices 
For the first time for more than a decade, average prices of hops sold 
under contract and hops sold without contracts (spot) are very close 
(166.85 ECU/zentner under contract and 165.08 ECU/zentner for spot 
sales. 
About one quarter of the 1991 harvest was sold without contract (see 
Annex, Table 8). The figures for 1991 show a drastic decrease in the 
prices of hops sold on the free market; In Germany, France and Belgium 
these prices dropped by half compared with the prices paid for the 1990 
harvest. 
For sales under contract, prices do not show such big variations which 
is explained within the context of forward contracts. 
,"*> 
(PCUL/EN/1139)

Most of the varieties which obtained the best prices (considerably 
above the EEC average, some of them by about 30%) - both under contract 
and for spot sales - are to be found in the group of aromatic 
varieties. It should be noted that the high quality Tettnanger, Spa It 
and Saaz varieties have maintained a high price level over the past few 
years. This indicates that brewers - although becoming more flexible 
in terms of varieties - are still not indifferent to the variety 
question. The Perle variety has become very popular with many brewers 
as an alternative to Hersbrucker since it Is more reliable in alpha 
acid. Perle is one of the few varieties whose spot price is well above 
the contract price. 
The price situation in the UK was very favourable this year compared 
with the other Member States and also in comparison with the previous 
year. Spot prices are still at an attractive level whereas contract 
prices have improved over those for 1990, basically because Target 
which is about to become the leading variety in the UK has been much 
sought after due to its good quality. 
Out of the 916,873 zentner produced in 1991, 1,774 zentner were not 
sold, which represents 0.19%. The majority of these quantities are 
located in the United Kingdom for varieties which have higher than 
average contract prices and sometimes spot prices too. 
The 1991 campaign was characterized by a very quiet market; the prices 
remained rather stable up to the end and when they increased there was 
no real impact on the returns because most of the production had 
already been sold. 
In fact it was expected that demand would have been higher than the 
production, as it is known statistically there Is a shortage of hops 
for beer production. This should have given rise to higher prices but 
this was not the case as the breweries became more and more flexible 
with regard to the varieties to be used and their origins - technicians 
being able to change the hopping rate (quantities of hops needed) and 
the cooking processes according to the new needs. For instance, at the 
end of the campaign the prices paid for the Hallertauer variety varied 
between DM 300 and DM 400/ztr (ECU 127 - ECU 170) for spot prices and 
between DM 400 and DM 420/ztr (ECU 170 - ECU 178) for contract prices. 
On the other hand, brewers are no longer interested in building up 
large stocks as they know there are always hops to be found on the 
market. Therefore demand and supply seemed to be in equilibrium. 
However, it is difficult to make forecasts about the quantity of acid 
needed by the breweries as they always keep some confidentiality about 
these figures.

2.2.4. Returns 
Returns in 1991 were very similar to those of 1990. Only a very small 
decrease of 0.58% was noticed, the average return per hectare in full 
production being 5,618 ECU in 1991, compared to 5,651 ECU in 1990. 
In fact, 1990 cannot be considered as a reference year as returns were 
abnormally high - at least in some Member States - due to the very high 
spot prices. In 1991 the level of returns was the same but for another 
reason, i.e. the high level of the quantity harvested. 
Figures for 1991 are coming back to "normality", with the exception of 
Portugal where the figures are very low and the United Kingdom where 
the figures are relatively high (see Table 3). In Portugal, the total 
production was sold at a very low spot price i.e. one third of the 
average price for the bitter varieties. 
At Community level returns are the highest for the aromatic varieties 
at 5,854 ECU/ha in full production, which is an increase of 3.37% 
compared with the previous harvest. The biggest increase was noticed 
in the United Kingdom (+ 28.4%), the varieties which did best being the 
Bramling Cross, Goldings and Progress varieties (see Annex, Table 9) . 
Heavy decreases in returns were noticed for the aromatic varieties in 
France (- 25%), the reason being that for the Strisselspalt variety, 
which is the principal variety in France, prices were somewhat lower 
and yields dropped by about 6 ztr/ha which is equal to one fifth. The 
decrease in Belgium was even worse (- 57%) because large parts of the 
production were sold without contracts at prices which were well below 
the Community average for these varieties (173.89 ECU/ztr). 
The returns for the bitter varieties decreased by 229 ECU/ha which is 
4.06 less than in 1990. The biggest decreases were noticed in France 
(- 35%), Belgium (- 41%), Ireland (- 32%) and Portugal (- 48%). The 
privileged position of the United Kingdom in terms of returns for the 
bitter varieties (+ 29% compared to 1990) comes from the super alpha 
Target variety which seems to be a winner on the market. 
For the other varieties, mostly located in Germany, returns decreased 
by more than a third (- 36.96%) due, on the one hand, to very bad 
yields (11.98 ztr/ha) and on the other hand to the fact that more than 
half of the varieties (462 ha compared to 679 ha) are experimental 
varieties from which one cannot expect full productivity and 
accordingly good prices. 
This has only a negligible effect on the overall average level of 
returns to producers as a result of the small area involved.

3. The common organization of the market in hops 
3.1 Community policy on the hop market 
In 1971 a common organization of the market in hops was established 
by Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71. The aim was to improve product 
quality and safeguard the livelihood of hop growers. Since no 
special arrangements were made for external trade or intervention 
quite deliberately when the market organization was set up, the 
Community hop sector Is highly exposed to competition on the world 
market. 
The essential aspects of the basic Regulation, which were dealt 
with in greater detail by subsequent, more specific Council and 
Commission regulations, comprises rules for the marketing of hops 
via a certification procedure and a forward contract system, for 
the recognition and promotion of producer groups, and for trade 
with non-EEC countries. The Regulation also lays down aid 
arrangements for Community-grown hops. 
The Community has two main financial responsibilities in this 
sector. Firstly, frequent use is made of the arrangements whereby 
aid per hectare is granted to producers with unsatisfactory 
returns. For the 1990 harvest year, aid per hectare was granted at 
a rate of ECU 340 for aromatic varieties, for bitter varieties and 
for other varieties. Secondly, special aid is granted under 
Regulation (EEC) No 2997/87 to encourage growers to convert to 
varieties more suited to market requirements (see also point 3.2). 
In addition the Community makes a contribution towards the 
promotion of newly founded producer groups at the Initial state 
provided national aid is also granted for this. However, this 
measure is now of little significance since - with the exception of 
the territory of the former GDR - almost all hop growers In the 
Community now belong to a recognized producer group. Of course 
this does not exclude the possibility of new groups being founded 
from time to time in the future as a result of restructuring and 
reorganizat ion. 
(PCUL/EN/1139) 
- 12 -
3.2 Aid for varietal conversion 
The long-standing imbalance between supply and demand for most 
bitter varieties and the resultant problems for hop growers in 
certain areas of the Community led the Council to adopt special 
measures for the hop sector in 1987. 
Regulation (EEC) No 2997/87 introduced special aid amounting to ECU 
2 500/ha - subject to a max Imum area of 800 ha per Member State -
to be granted to recognized producer groups who undertake to 
implement a plan to convert areas under bitter varieties to 
aromatic or super-alpha varieties. 
In June 1989 the Council adopted Regulation (EEC) No 1809/89 
amending Regulation (EEC) No 2997/87 with a view to extending the 
number of growers qualifying for aid under the varietal conversion 
programme. The amended criteria now allow special aid to be 
granted throughout the Community and not Just In certain areas, as 
was originally provided for. A further restriction laying down 
that producer groups could take part in the conversion programme 
only if their total area did not increase in the period 1986 to 
1988 was also lifted. The extension of the duration of the 
programme from 31 December 1990 as originally provided for to the 
end of 1992 gives the producer groups more time to implement their 
conversion plans. 
A further change was introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 3837/90, 
extending the time limit for implementation of the conversion 
programme in the case of Spain by a further two years, I.e. up to 
the end of 1994. This amendment became necessary when many hop 
growers, whose land at the time was Involved in a reparcelIing 
project, made It known that they were prepared to take part in the 
varietal conversion programme. However, both measures. I.e. 
reparcelIing and subsequent varietal conversion, cannot be carried 
out In the time previously provided for. 
(PCUL/EN/1139) 
- 13 -
The Community varietal conversion programme has been very well 
received by hop growers. All hop-growing Member States are taking 
advantage of it with the exception of Ireland. Some of the 
varietal conversion programmes submitted have been revised several 
times, above all to comply with requests for further areas to be 
included (see Table 5). 
In the main, the programmes submitted by the Individual Member 
States provide for the grubbing up of the traditional bitter 
varieties Brewer's Gold and Northern Brewer, which are finding It 
Increasingly difficult to compete with the American super-alpha 
varieties on the world market.

4. Conclusions 
In view of the above analysis of the present state of the Community 
hop market, the Commission proposes that income aid be granted to 
growers in respect of the 1991 harvest. 
This proposal means a status quo in the average level of aid to 
producers as compared with the 1990 harvest. 
In addition, pursuant to Article 12a of Regulation (EEC) 
No 1696/71, the Commission proposes that aid be granted also for 
areas given over to experimental varieties at the same rate as that 
planted with "other" varieties. 
The possibility of granting aid to producers for experimental 
varieties was introduced in 1990 when the Council adopted 
Regulation (EEC) No 2780/90. This applies to areas farmed by hop 
growers on which experimental varieties are cultivated In 
cooperation with a research institute. The objective of this 
Regulation Is to promote the breeding of new varieties, which must 
be carried out continuously in order to maintain the 
competitiveness of hop growing in the Community. 
91 
(PCUL/EN/1138) 
- 15 -
The Commission proposes the following rates of aid: 
Variety group Aid (ECU/ha) 
Aromatic varieties 340 
Bitter varieties 340 
Other varieties 340 
This proposal would mean a status quo In the average rate of aid to 
ECU 340/ha, compared to 1990. The cost of this proposal to the 
EAGGF Guarantee Section is estimated at ECU 9.71 million.
