About hop cones

cpc code 01659 covers the production of hop cones, a crucial ingredient in the brewing industry. Hops are a flowering plant that play a vital role in imparting bitterness, aroma, and flavor to beer. As a key component of the global beer supply chain, the hop industry is an important part of the broader agricultural and food processing sectors.

Production process

The production of hop cones involves several key steps. Hops are typically grown on trellises or poles, with the cones harvested by hand or machine during the late summer months. After harvesting, the cones are dried, often using specialized kilns, to reduce moisture content. The dried cones are then packaged and distributed to breweries and other consumers.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for hop cone production include fertile agricultural land, hop rhizomes or seedlings, trellising or support structures, harvesting equipment, and drying/processing facilities. Growers also rely on water, fertilizers, and pest control measures to ensure a healthy hop crop.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is dried hop cones, which are sold to 11050 Breweries and other 10890 Beverage manufacturers for use in beer production. Hop extracts and oils produced from the cones may also be sold to these industries, as well as to 20540 Pharmaceutical preparations manufacturers for use in herbal supplements and other products.
