WASHINGTON AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS SERVICE U.S. Department of Agriculture Washington Agricultural Statistics Service P.O. Box 609, Olympia, WA 98507 NATIONAL HOP REPORT December 20, 2001 ______________________________________________________________________________ The Hop Growers of America (HGA) has contracted with our agency to provide a statistical profile of the Hop industry for 2001. This includes acreage, yield, production, stocks, and price information. We are pleased to present the final 2001 acreage, yield, and production by variety and by states. In the past, these data have been released to the public in mid-January. We have been requested by HGA to release the data earlier in order to allow producers an opportunity to analyze the data and develop marketing plans. Because of this request, the 2001 report is provided to you at this time. We have appreciated working with the Hop industry. If you have questions or comments regarding any part of this program, please call our office at (360)902-1940. Doug Hasslen State Statistician ______________________________________________________________________________ 2001 HOPS PRODUCTION Hops production for Idaho, Oregon, and Washington in 2001 totaled 66.8 million pounds, down 1 percent from 2000 crop of 67.6 million pounds, but 4 percent above the 1999 production of 64.5 million pounds. However, U.S. hops production is still below most of the crops of the 1990's, when production ranged from the mid to upper 70 million pounds. Whereas production in Washington and Idaho dropped 3 percent and 7 percent, respectively, Oregon’s production increased 10 percent from a year ago. The decrease in acreage for the 2001 crop was due to Washington’s share, as both Oregon and Idaho showed increases in harvested acreage. Oregon exhibited yield improvements with 1,875 pounds per acre in 2001, 90 pounds more than 2000. Yields in Washington and Idaho were down in 2001. Washington showed a small decline, with 1,928 pounds per acre this year, 9 pounds less than last year. In Idaho, yields averaged 1,329 pounds per acre, a significant drop of 155 pounds from a year ago. Washington growers produced 76 percent of the U.S. hops crop for 2001. Columbus/Tomahawk, Nugget and Galena were the leading varieties in Washington, accounting for 55 percent of the State’s hop crop. In Oregon, Nugget and Willamette accounted for 79 percent of the harvested hops. Galena and Zeus were major varieties in Idaho.
