Characteristics and comparison of hop regions in the world.
VOLF, Adam
The bachelor thesis characterizes and compares hop regions around the world. Firstly, it deals with the literature concerning the geographical aspects of hop growing and presents the characteristics of hops (botanical and agricultural characteristics, conditions of hop growing, hop usage). The world's hop-growing regions are defined in the thesis as a regional concentration of at least 100 ha of hop gardens (hop harvest areas). The analytical part processes and compares data on the area of hop harvesting areas, hop production and hop yields based on Barth Reports statistics using proportional symbol maps, graphs and tables. Climatic types of hop regions are also compared. About 50 % of the hop harvest is located in two regions - Hallertau in Germany and Yakima Valley in the USA. The North Korean region Ryanggang Province and the Czech region Žatec follow with a gap. A large concentration of hop regions can be found in Central Europe and the northwest of the United States. Large hop yields occur in the German region Hallertau, in the Chinese and Australian regions. The increase in harvest areas and hop production between 1990 and 2020 occurred mainly in the US regions. A structured description of more than 30 hop regions of the world is given in the appendix of the bachelor's thesis.
Vývoj a rozmístění pěstování a produkce chmele ve světě
PAVLIŠOVÁ, Aneta
The bachelor thesis deals with the distribution of hops production and areas of hop fields according to the countries of the world and with the distribution of area of hop fields according to small districts of the Czech Republic. It also monitors the development of these distributions. In the introductory chapters of the thesis the hop literature and characteristics of hop as agricultural crop is given. Data for analyses comes from databases of the Food and Agriculture Organization - FAO (for countries) and the Czech land office (statistics for small districts), and they are transformed into resume tables, graphs and maps. In the long term, the largest hops producers in the world are the USA and Germany, with a considerable distance from the Czech Republic and China and, with a further distance from Poland and Slovenia. The number of hop countries is gradually decreasing and hops production is increasingly concentrated into the USA and Germany. The Czech Republic has the largest areas of hop fields in the Rakovník, Louny, Žatec and Podbořany small districts. The area of hop fields has decreased significantly in the Czech Republic.
