Hard Cider Supply Chain Analysis

In the Spring of 2017, Harvest NY surveyed members of the hard cider industry, to include apple growers, hard cider producers, and nurseries, to analyze the current state of the value chain and assess projected growth. The information contained within this report is an analysis of the survey data received. The surveys were developed through a collaborative effort among: Cornell University, Cornell Cooperative Extension Area Teams, and the New York Cider Association. The distribution of the electronic survey was made possible through the support of Cornell University, Cornell Cooperative Extension, the New York Cider Association, and the New York Apple Association.
