Abstract:

The article is devoted to problems of hop production  both at world level, and in certain regions of the Russian Federation. The complex analysis of development of hop-growing for 1971 - 2016 has been carried out. Attention is focused that in the Chuvash Republic for the researched period, repeatedly reduced productions of hop while the republic in the pre-reform period made up to 90% of all the general volume made in the Russian Federation. Means of the solution of this problem due to creation of the cluster are considered. The infrastructure aspects of  the hop-growing  cluster in the Chuvash Republic allowing to increase hop production efficiency are analyzed. The research is executed with financial support of RSSF and the Chuvash Republic within the scientific project №. 15-12-21023/16.
