Chuvashia, a key region in Russia that produces 90% of the country's hops, is embarking on a significant expansion of its hop industry through a new state program set to run until 2031. Announced by Sergei Artamonov, the head of the Ministry of Agriculture, the program aims to increase the hop harvest to 3.7 thousand tons and expand cultivation to 2,000 hectares, a more than 19-fold increase. This ambitious initiative will also see the modernization of agricultural machinery, the purchase of new hop harvesters and dryers, the development of hop varieties suited to the local climate, and the bolstering of scientific support, including the establishment of Russia's first hop analysis laboratory at the Chuvash State Agrarian University. This expansion builds on a 2020-2025 development concept that emphasized public-private partnerships and optimized state support, including significant subsidies for farmers.
