Abstract: As part of the Concept for the Development of Hop Growing for 2020-2025, the Chuvash Republic is implementing unprecedented measures to subsidize farmers involved in hop growing. One of the main measures of state support for hop growing is a subsidy for the establishment and care of perennial plantings, which reimburses the costs of establishing hop fields in the amount of 250 thousand rubles / ha (no more than 80% of costs), for caring for hop fields before the start of their period commercial fruiting - in the amount of 160 thousand rubles / ha (no more than 80% of costs), hop production is subsidized, subject to its sale (according to calculations, support in this direction in 2023 amounted to 92.7 thousand rubles / ton), construction and reconstruction of hop trellises - in the amount of 800 thousand rubles/ha (no more than 40% of costs), as well as technical and technological modernization, within which it is possible to reimburse 50% of the cost of purchased specialized equipment and 45% of the cost of general-purpose equipment. These subsidies can cover half of all capital investments incurred by the hop grower at the beginning of the production cycle. Also, state support can contribute to the formation of a positive balance of financial results from hop-growing activities after three years of activity, as well as a more accelerated achievement of return on business, which, taking into account the new conditions of preferential lending and with the classical approach to organizing the business model of a hop-growing farm, according to preliminary calculations, may be 8-9 years. At the moment, the republic is developing a state program “Development of production of hops and hop products in the Chuvash Republic” with a validity period until 2031. The main difference between the newly adopted program and the previous document is its focus on a significant increase in hop plantings in the region, providing the necessary technical fleet of specialized equipment, and developing new competitive hop varieties.
