About vegetable saps and extracts; of hops

HS code 130213 covers the trade of vegetable saps and extracts derived from hops. Hops are a key ingredient in the production of beer, one of the world's most widely consumed alcoholic beverages. The global hops industry plays a vital role in the broader food and beverage sector, providing essential flavoring and bittering agents used by brewers worldwide.

Production process

Hops are typically harvested and processed into various extracts and concentrates. The main production techniques involve drying, pelletizing, and extracting the active compounds from the hop cones. These extracts are then used by brewers to impart bitterness, aroma, and other desirable characteristics to their beer products.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the hops industry include the hop plant itself, which is cultivated across many regions globally. Specialized harvesting and processing equipment, as well as solvents and other chemicals used in the extraction process, are also key inputs. Energy, labor, and transportation services are additional resources required to bring hop-derived products to market.

Production outputs

The main outputs from HS code 130213 are various hop extracts and concentrates. These are consumed primarily by the 220300 beer industry, which uses them to flavor and bitter beer. Other potential consumers include the 330290 flavoring industry and the 292700 pharmaceutical industry, which may utilize hop-derived compounds for their own product formulations.
