            Commission report "to "the Council on the situation
             regarding the production and marketing of hops :
                               1978 harvest
INTRODUCTION
        Under Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 1 696 /7 1 of 26 July 1971 on the
common organization of the market in hops , the Commission each year before
30 April presents to the Council a report on the situation regarding the
production and marketing of hops and concludes by submitting proposals for
aid in respect of the harvest of the previous calender year . This report
concerns the 1978 harvest .
        The main factors affecting the harvest were that 1978 was the first
year of implementation of the Community 's programme of reorganization of
hop-gardens and varietal reconversion coupled with a 40 ^ reduction in the
area planted , and that it was also the first year of certification of hop
cones and hop products .

I. WORLD SITUATION
   a ) Market structure ( Tables 1,2 )
       Since there is a very large volume of international trade in hops ,
       prices are strongly influenced by the relationship between supply
       and demand at world level .
       The world market can be divided into five roughly homogeneous
       sectors :
            1.    EEC :   net exporter of 20 /o of its production
            2. USA:       net exporter of 33 $ of its production
            3. COMECON: net importer of 5-10 i° of its requirements
            4 . Other major producer .countries :
                          net importers of 5-10 % of their requirements
            5 . Other mainly non-producer countries :
                          net importers of 95 f0 of their requirements.
       This structure does not exclude considerable trade within each
       sector and between sectors , especially in the EEC-USA-COMECON
       triangle .
       In this structure five countries are net hop exporters with output
       in excess of requirements . Estimated figures are as follows :

       CZECHOSLOVAKIA              202 000        115 000       87 000
       YUGOSLAVIA                   87 000         30 000       57 000

 ---pagebreak---                                      3
   It clearly emerges from these figures that there are two major expor­
   ting countries , the Federal Republic of Germany and the USA.
   The greater part of American production ( a"bout 95 %) is usually con­
   tracted for in advance , while the Federal Republic of Germany sells a
   large proportion of its production on the open market (normally about
   20 - 30 p, in 1978 : 20 %).
b) 1978 harvest
   The Commission notes that , in spite of the reduction in area since the
   1974 harvest , some disequilibrium persists at world level because stocks
   are still high. Even though they were run down to some extent in 1976 ,
   stocks are estimated to have been 35 % above normal at the beginning of
   the 1978 harvest .
   In 1978 , world production was about 107 800 tonnes from an area of
   78 074 ha , or rather less than the quantity required by the world
   brewing industry. Consequently , there was some depletion of stocks ,
   probably bringing them down to not more than 15 % above normal .
   As a result , prices on the free market rose . The pattern was as
   follows in the Federal Republic of Germany , the world * s leading
   exporter :

 ---pagebreak--- c ) Medium-term forecasts – World    ( Table 4 )
    For the 1979 harvest an increase of about 800 h3 in the world area
    under hops is expected , partly as a result of an increase of about
    800 ha in the COMECON countries and 500 ha in the rest of the world,
    offset "by a reduction of about 500 ha in the EEC .
    If the yield is normal , production will remain slightly short of the
    requirements of the world brewing industry and stooks will therefore
    continue to decline .
    On the other hand , if yield were about 5 % above normal , the surplus
    stock situation would persist .
    In the medium term , market balance will depend on strict control of
    the area under hops . Despite an annual increase of about 3,5 $» of
    world production , demand for hops rises by only 1   1,5 % on account
    of the technical developments in the brewery industry. .
    The decision taken by the Hops Administrative Committee in the United
    States to raise the basic marketing quota from 100 fo in 1978 to 105 $
    in 1979 may "be prejudicial to market stability in the medium term .
    The same is true of the policy adopted by the East European countries
    to develop production and achieve self-sufficiency now that , with
    prices hardening on the world market , they are no longer able to
    obtain their supplies cheaply from outside .
 ---pagebreak--- 11 • SITUATION IN THE COîflflmiTY
     a ) Situation in 19? 8 ( Tables 5 s 6 )
         In 1978 , ths S3C accounted for 32 % of the world area under hops arid
         39 $ of world product ion . The Commission notes that the 'balance
         between aromatic varieties and varieties with a high alpha acid
         content was 10 <%, against 29 % of ESC production in 1971 and 49
         against 49     in 1 97 8 »
         The Community programme of reorganization and varietal conversion
         coupled with a 40 $ reduction in the area planted led to an overall
         reduction of    1 959      ha, shared between the Meaber States as
         follows :
                Federal Republic of Germany                      1 628    ha
                Prance                                              120   ha
                Belgium                                             131 ■ ha
                United Kingdom                                        80  ha
                Ireland                                               –   ha
         The 1978 harvest is thus lover than the harvest of previous years .
         Community exports were lower in 1977/73 than from 1973 to 1975 because
         of the world surplus and the financial difficulties o-f Third World
         countries . Community exports are expected to drop slightly again in
         1978/79 . Imports are expected to fall because of a fairly poor
         harvest in the rest of the world .
         The Commission estimates that the stocks held by brewers and in trade
          in the ESC - which were about 45 % higher than usual at the be­
         ginning of the 1978 harvest - might be no more than about 20 fo above
         normal as a result of this year 's smaller harvest .
          Community beer production fell slightly, in 1978 and could remain
          steady in 1979 ; "but , given the effects of technical improvements ,
          demand for hops should contract slightly.
                                                                  ./•

*
     Advance con-tract prices remained approximately at the same level as
     in 1977 while non-contract prices rose . The proportion of hops
     offered   on the open market was much lower than in 1977 on account
     of the reduction in area in the Federal Republic of Germany. The
     quantities sold on the open market have "been as follows in the past
     six years :
                                                      ( Ztr)
            1978                   166 000
            1977                   327 000
            1976                   174 000
            1975                   203 000
            1974                   227 000
            1973                   309 000
  b) Medium-term forecasts - EEC
     Following the implementation of the Community restructuring
     programme , the area under hops for the 1979 harvest is expected to
     decline by about 500 hectares compared with 1978 . Even with this
     reduction in area and average yield , production may still be in
     the region of 41 000 tonnes . Sales under advance contract are
     estimated at about 75 % of production , or 31 000 tonnes . Large
     quantities of hops ( about 10.000 tonnes ) will thus be offered on
     the open market .
     It may be expected that in 1980-82 the area under hops will remain
     steady in the Community and that the stability of the Community
     market will continue to be veiy closely dependent on the area tinder
     hops in the rest of the world . Consequently , it is essential that
     the non-member countries keep strict control over areas planted if
     lasting stability is also to be attained on the world market .

III . 1978 HARVEST
      a ) Areà under hops ( Table 8 )
          In 1978 the area under hops in the EEC fell from 27 232 ha to
          25 273 ha. The reduction was greatest in Germany and lesser in
          Belgium and Prance . In the United Kingdom , however , area remained
          static .
          There has been a reduction in the following varieties :
          Hallertauer                      Brewers Gold
          Spalter                          Record

          and an increase in the following :

          Northdown
          This means that , overall aromatic varieties have reduced by
          1 211    ha since 1977 while bitter varieties have reduced by
          668 ha .
     b ) Yield and production ( Table 8 )
          In 1978 the average yield in the EEC ( 33,7 Ztr/ha ) was lower than
          in 1977 ( 34,9 Ztr/ha ) but higher than in 1976 ( 28.56 Ztr/ha ).
          EEC production in 1978 amounted to 42 600 tonnes compared with
          47 600 tonnes in 1977 *
     c)   New plantings
          In 1978   466    ha in the EEC had been planted the previous year,
          and were therefore in their first year of production.
                                                             /•
 ---pagebreak---                                    8
 In 1977 "there were 652       ha of new plantings.
Prices and contracts ( Table 7 )
During the 1978 harvest , hop prices in relation to 1977 and I976 were
as follows :
                 Average EEC prices                         u.a. /ztr.

  Non-contracts    78.8      38.4     87,9            129 1o         12 %
Prices for hops not marketed under contract were much higher in 1978
than in 1977 because of the smaller harvest .
The quantities marketed under advance contracts were higher because
of the market outlook .

CONCLUSIONS
I.    All in all , the Commission finds that the programme of restructuring
      and conversion has pi*oduced positive results in its first year of
      effect , achieving an overall reduction of 1 959        ha of Community land
      under hops , comprising      668    ha under bitter varieties and 1 211
      ha tinder aromatic varieties , and that the Community certification
      system has "been correctly applied from the start in all the Member
      States .                               ; .
      This brought more stability to the Community market by reducing surplus
      stocks and improving prices . In addition , certification ensured better
      quality control and greater transparency of marketing networks .
II . In view of these trends , the Commission 's proposal on aid for the 1978
      harvest is designed to achieve the following aims :
      1 . to provide an adequate supplement to growers * incomes which , despite
          improvements , are still insufficient , and which are further reduced
          by the expense involved in certification ( Article 12(5)(a) of
          Regulation (EEC ) No 1 696/7 1 ) 5
    ' 2 . to steer production in the direction of general and lasting equili­
          brium between supply and demand ;
      3 . to ensure , by means of differential aid , a rational distribution of
          nrr»fSnction by >100 tyr>e in f-ccordance with the trend of demand .
     Lastly, in the present situation the Commission considers that there
     is no need to apply the provisions of Artiole 12(6 ) of Regulation
     (EEC) No 1696/71 for this harvest and that aid may be granted to all
     the areas registered.

III . The Commission therefore proposes the following amounts :
      Groups of varieties       Aid in ECU/ha     Aid in u. a. /ha
      Aromatic varieties :           423              + 350
      Bitter varieties :             369              + 300
      Other varieties :              484              + 400
      Thus , average aid per hectare for all     areas aided       will move
      from 335 u.a. for the 1977 harvest to + 326 u.a. for the 1978
      harvest , ( 395,5 ECU ).
      Average income per hectare ( including aid) will therefore move
      from 3179 u.a. in 1977 "to 3491 u.a. in 1978 , and per varietal
      group from :
           3156 u.a.     to + 3688 u.a. for aromatic varieties
           3230 u.a.     to + 3311  u.a. for "bitter varieties
           2545 u.a.     to + 3042 u.a. for other varieties.

 OBSERVATIONS
                  With regard to financial considerations , it should be noted that the
  application regulation requires that the request for aid is presented "by the
  producer during a period of five months following the date of publication in
 the O.J. of the regulation fixing the amount of the aid.
 As a result , the full amount of th$ aid for the 1978 harvest will "be totally
  covered "by the 1979 "budget . The forecasts for the 1979 budget took account
 of this .
