As far as hops is concerned, Slovenia is mainly export oriented, since most of the hops grown in Slovenia are exported around the world and only a small proportion is sold on the Slovenian market to brewers and others.
Tudi pri proizvodnji hmelja je Slovenija predvsem izvozno usmerjena, saj večino hmelja, ki ga pridelamo, izvozimo po svetu, le manjši delež pa ga prodamo pivovarjem in drugim na slovenskem trgu.
