Abstract

Hop growing in the Russian Federation is a sector of agro-industrial complex that is largely dependent on imported technological solutions and products, the lack of domestic production of these products creates significant barriers to the intensification of domestic hop production and processing. The Chuvash Republic is the country’s primary hop-producing region for bitter-aromatic varieties, necessitating the implementation of systematic measures to provide scientific and technological support for the development of hop production and economic potential. Based on a study of the current regional model of scientific and technological support for hop cultivation, the authors identified key areas of focus – from the concept of implementing continuous agricultural education and research to the breeding of new hop varieties and development of promising specialized machinery and mechanisms. In the Chuvash Republic, effective cooperation has been established between the participants in the support system, represented by both federal and regional institutions. The region is actively developing new competencies related to scientific and technological support for investment projects in hop cultivation, and this area is specifically highlighted in the state program for scientific and technological development of the region. The analysis of existing measures to support scientific and technological support for hop cultivation in Chuvashiya demonstrates their adequacy and comprehensiveness at the current stage, as well as the potential for adjustment in light of changing priorities. Authors identify the introduction of biotechnological tools in hop breeding, as well as the development and implementation of a promising system for advanced hop processing, as priority areas for increasing the effectiveness of scientific and technological support for the development of the production and economic potential of hop growing.
