Vegetable saps and extracts; of hops

HS v2017 Code: 130213

About vegetable saps and extracts; of hops

HS code 130213 covers the trade and production of vegetable saps and extracts derived from hops. Hops are a key ingredient in the brewing industry, providing bitterness and aroma to beer. As a result, the global market for hop-derived products is closely tied to the performance and trends within the beer and brewing sectors. This industry plays an important role in the broader agricultural and food processing economies, supplying essential raw materials to a wide range of downstream applications.

Production process

The production of hop-derived vegetable saps and extracts typically involves the harvesting and processing of hop cones. Hops are commonly grown on trellised bines and harvested by machine or by hand. The hop cones are then dried, often using hot air, before being processed through extraction methods such as supercritical fluid extraction or solvent-based techniques to isolate the desired compounds.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for this industry are the hop plants themselves, which require specific growing conditions including well-drained soil and a temperate climate. Machinery for harvesting, drying, and extraction is also a key input, along with solvents, processing equipment, and energy sources to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The main outputs from HS code 130213 are the various hop-derived saps, extracts, and concentrates. These products are then consumed by a range of downstream industries, most notably the 220300 beer and 210690 other food preparation sectors, which utilize hop extracts for their bittering, flavoring, and aroma properties. Other potential applications include the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and aromatherapy industries.
