UK: Sales of UK manufactured beer hit their lowest in 2018
|
The manufacture of fruit and vegetable juice was the fastest growing sub sector in the UK food industry, growing 17% from £654 million in 2017 to £768 million in 2018, Business Matters reported on August 27.
Research shows that more than half of people aged 16 to 24 consume juice drinks at least once a day. Consumption of smoothies has seen the biggest increase among all fruit juice drinks with Brits spending £112 million alone on these last year alone.
Sales of UK manufactured beer have meanwhile hit their lowest level in a decade at £3.1 billion – down from £3.7 billion the year before – as young people increasingly turn to alcohol free alternatives. Beer sales reached their peak in 2009, when Brits consumed £4.8 billion in beer.
Food and drink remained the largest UK manufacturing sector in 2018, reporting sales of £71.8 billion – a 3% increase on 2017. Overall UK manufacturing sales hit a record high of £390.1 billion in 2018 – an increase of £9.4 billion (2.5%) from the previous year.
Andrew Williams, Head of Food & Drink Sector, Santander UK, said: “Food and drink manufacturing is vital to the health of the economy and the UK is widely seen

Australia: Australian Competition and Consumer Commission assessing Asahi’s purchase of Carlton & United Breweries
|
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is assessing Asahi’s proposed purchase (A$16 billion) of Carlton & United Breweries (CUB) which, if the deal closes, would affect more than half of Australia’s beer market, the Trailer Magazine reported on August 26.
The proposed acquisition was announced 19 July 2019 and involves Asahi acquiring CUB by way of a share acquisition.
The ACCC said in a request for submissions dated 23 August 2019 that its investigation is focused on the impact on competition, specifically: whether Asahi and CUB compete closely for the supply of beer, cider and spirits products; the likely impact on prices; and the extent to which large customers, such as supermarket chains, hotel groups or distributors, could sponsor entry or expansion by a rival supplier if the proposed acquisition were to result in a price increase.
Submissions are open until 6 September 2019. The provisional date for the announcement of the ACCC’s findings is expected to be 31 October 2019.
The ACCC is testing section 50 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 which prohibits acquisitions that are likely to have the effect of substantially lessening competition in a market.
The Australian Financial Review claims that a combined Asahi-CUB would likely comprise more

Spanish supermarket chain Mercadona has added two new blonde beer brands to its drinks assortment in Portugal, ESM reported on August 27.

India: United Breweries signs contract for 66 thousand tonnes of barley from Argentina – company source
|
Bengaluru-based United Breweries Ltd has signed a contract to import around 66,000 tonnes of barley from Argentina at $205-$207 per tonne, cost and freight, Cogencis reported on August 23 citing a company source.
The imports are scheduled to reach Adani Port in Gujarat in the first week of September, the official said.
Malt makers in the country had imported around 45,000 tonnes of barley in August, according to industry estimates.
Currently, the barley market is seeing a supply crunch as arrivals are negligible, while demand from domestic stockists is on the rise. Due to this, malt makers have turned to imports to meet their requirements, said the owner of a malt company based in Jaipur.
Supplies in the market are negligible as stocks with farmers have dried up, said Umesh Khandelwal, owner of the jaipur-based Krishna Broker Agency.
According to the agriculture ministry's fourth advance estimate, India's barley output in 2018-19 is seen at 1.75 mln tonnes, compared with the final estimate of 1.78 mln tonnes for the previous year.

Australia & the Philippines: Philippine market could represent opportunities for Australia’s wheat, barley shipments
|
Providing grains education and technical services in the Philippines could stimulate and support demand for Australian wheat and barley in that country, according to a new AEGIC report, the Grain Central reported on August 27.
Report co-author Dr Peter White said while there were other more compelling prospects for Australian grain in South East Asia, strong population and consumption growth in the Philippines could represent opportunities for Australia.
Dr White said the median age of Filipinos was 23 years which — coupled with the estimated $US25 billion sent home by the 10 million Filipinos living in other countries — meant people were consuming more wheat-based products.
“Consumers that are relatively wealthy and young tend to eat more convenience foods, including instant noodles and baked products,” he said.
“There is significant demand for wheat in the Philippines, in fact it is already one of Australia’s biggest wheat markets. In 2018 it was Australia’s second biggest wheat market by volume (1.4 mln tonnes) and value (A$437 mln).
“However almost all of this is for animal feed, a market which is more at risk from lower-cost producers and other commodities.
“The wheat for food market is dominated by the United States, which has very strong historical ties with the
