2015 Hop Production Up 11 Percent From Last Year

Production for Idaho, Oregon, and Washington in 2015 totaled 78.8 million pounds, up 11 percent from the 2014 crop of
71.0 million pounds. Production increased in all three States; 30 percent in Oregon, 26 percent in Idaho, and 6 percent in
Washington. Acreage increased in all three States; 22 percent in Oregon, 30 percent in Idaho, and 11 percent in
Washington. United States yield at 1,807 pounds per acre, decreased 61 pounds from a year ago. These are the highest
acres harvested and production on record in Idaho going back to 1944 and the highest acres harvested on record in
Washington going back to 1915.
Washington growers produced 75 percent of the United States hop crop in 2015. Cascade, Zeus, Simcoe, Centennial, and
Columbus/Tomahawk, were the leading varieties in Washington, accounting for 52 percent of the State’s hop crop. In
Oregon, Nugget and Cascade were the major varieties, accounting for 47 percent of the State’s hop production. In Idaho,
Zeus, Cascade, and Chinook were the major varieties, accounting for 44 percent of the State’s hop production.
The preliminary 2015 value of production of the United States hop crop is $345.4 million, up 33 percent from the revised
2014 value of $260.6 million. Record high prices received by growers at the United States and Idaho and Washington
levels were realized in 2015. The increased value can be attributed to higher production and hop production shifting from
Alpha varieties to Aroma varieties that are higher in value. Increased demand from the craft brewing sector has also
increased prices for hops.

Statistical Methodology
Survey Procedures: Grower surveys are conducted in the three estimating States to collect acreage, yield, and production
data from growers. Additionally, contacts are made with each of the three Hop Commissions.
Estimating Procedures: Information obtained from the hops growers surveys are used to establish estimates of hops.
These estimates are reviewed for errors, reasonableness, and consistency with historical estimates and industry check data.
Revision Policy: All hop estimates are subject to revision the following year based on a thorough review of all available
data.
Reliability: Survey results are subject to non-sampling errors such as omission, duplication, imputation for missing data,
and mistakes in reporting, recording, and processing the data. These errors cannot be measured directly, but are minimized
through rigid quality controls in the data collection process and a careful review of all reported data for consistency and
reasonableness.

Information Contacts
Listed below are the commodity statisticians in the Crops Branch of the National Agricultural Statistics Service to contact
