Abstract
Has the territorial concentration of hop production in the world increased? Has there been an increase in hop production in cooler temperature and higher rainfall hop regions as would be expected due to global warming? How has hop production developed in countries with different levels of the hop industry? These are some of the questions that the article tries to answer. The article is mainly based on data from BarthHass reports from 1990 to 2022. The analysis shows that the United States and German hop regions were responsible for the significant increase in the territorial concentration of production in the world, while in many countries with a tradition of growing hops, production weakened or even ended. Despite global warming, production has increased mainly in hop regions with somewhat higher temperatures and low rainfall. For the development of hop farming in individual countries and hop regions, the maturity of their hop industry is important. It is mainly about the level of breeding and cultivation of hops and the level of hop research.
