Even more boring old numbers. Don't worry. I've still plenty more to annoy you with.
Fascinating to see the source of Dutch hops. I had the impression that far more hops were imported from Germany in the 1930s. But that's based on what I've seen in Heineken brewing records, where the hops seem to be about 50-50 split between Germany and Czechoslovakia. Clearly, they weren't typical. As the the majority of hops were imported from Czechoslovakia.
While after the war it really was Germany which dominated imports. I can understand why Czech imports might have been interrupted in 1949 when the communists took over. But it's less easy to understand why that should have hung over into the 1950s.
As a neighbouring country and one of the biggest hop producers in the world, it's no real shock that Germany should have been Holland's main hop supplier. Interesting that the UK supplied so many hops in 1951. Then very few from 1953 onwards.
