Beervana debunks report about organic hops
In 2012, the US produced 61.2 million pounds of hops. I’m no math whiz, but my back-of-the-envelope calculation puts 10% of that total at a shade over six million pounds. At 218 thousand, organics make up .36% (a third of one percent) of the market.
Yahoo/Takeapart had previously reported that 10% of U.S.-grown hops are certified organic.
