Since signing a cooperation memorandum with Jiangsu Provincial Agricultural Reclamation and Development, Bud China has been supporting the research and development of domestic malting barley breeding technological innovation. Since 2019, a five-year screening and breeding programme for high-quality beer barley varieties has been implemented, resulting in the establishment of a breeding system with over 400 combinations. The average annual yield per mu of barley planted in Jiangsu Agricultural Reclamation and Development has increased by 10%. At the same time, actively promoting barley cultivation not only enhances soil nutrients and physical properties, but also plays a significant role in improving local saline-alkali land and advancing regenerative agriculture.

In addition, at the 2024 Barley Day event, themed “Seed with Tech, Brew for Future,” we signed a new cooperation project with Jiangsu Provincial Agricultural Reclamation and Development for the cultivation of hops. This partnership aims to strengthen the collaborative research and development in modern agricultural indoor hop planting technology. Furthermore, by upgrading facilities such as air source heat pump systems, low reflection roofs, and integrated drip irrigation of water and fertiliser, we aim to enhance the sustainability of hop planting.
