Japan & Myanmar: Kirin Holdings may seek government help to resolve dispute over Myanmar beer partnership
|
The top executive of Kirin Holdings Co. said on December 21 the company may ask the Japanese government for help to resolve a dispute over ending its beer business partnership with a Myanmar military-linked entity, Kyodo News reported.
Kirin Holdings President and CEO Yoshinori Isozaki said in an interview with Kyodo News that his company may need such support, depending on the ruling by a Yangon district court after its partner Myanma Economic Holdings Public Co. unilaterally filed a petition last month to liquidate a joint venture called Myanmar Brewery Ltd.
Isozaki said he hopes the dispute on the venture, the biggest beer company in Myanmar owned 51 percent by Kirin and 49 percent by the Myanmar entity, can be resolved by the end of June.
"I believe the government did not strongly urge us to invest only to feign ignorance when things go badly," the 68-year-old said, referring to a 2014 investment treaty between Japan and Myanmar.
The Tokyo-based company entered the Myanmar market in 2015 following the agreement that protects investors from becoming stripped of their investment assets and as the Southeast Asian country moved toward democratization.
Kirin has two joint ventures - Myanmar Brewery and Mandalay Brewery Ltd. - with Myanma Economic

Australia: Australian Tax Office makes brewers’ corporate tax information public
|
For the first time since the ATO made corporate tax information public, Carlton and United Breweries’ owner has paid corporate tax, whilst Lion also upped its contribution rates, the BrewsNews reported on December 22.
The Australian Tax Office released its seventh annual Corporate Tax Transparency report last week for the 2019-2020 financial year, which revealed the corporate tax positions of Australia’s biggest companies.
For the past six years, according to the releases, neither of CUB’s previous owners, AB InBev or predecessor SAB Miller, paid corporate tax.
However, for the 2019-2020 year, CUB’s then-owner AB InBev paid corporate tax amounting to just over A$113 million, accounting for 30 per cent of its taxable income.
The disclosures showed that ABI had returned a total income of A$4.1 billion, down slightly on the A$4.4 billion it made in the previous year of the report. Taxable income was calculated at A$377 million.
Asahi Beverages officially took over CUB in June 2020 so for the purposes of the 2019 to 2020 financial year, CUB was operating under ABI Australia Financing, a subsidiary of Belgium’s AB InBev.
The news came as the ATO commended the improvement in tax compliance amongst big corporates, despite acknowledging that the proportion of companies that have paid

UK: 70% of total beer consumption by 2025 expected to be of premium or super-premium brands
|
One of the world’s biggest brewers says that customers are increasingly buying premium and super-premium beers, with the name on the bottle of more importance than ever, The Talking Retail reported on December 16.
Budweiser says that by 2025 it expects 70% of total beer consumption in the UK to be of brands classed as premium or super-premium, against 61.7% now.
Budweiser, which brews Budweiser, Stella Artois and Corona, said that world beers are proving crucial in boosting sales.
Brand name matters even in alcohol-free beer, argued Budweiser, pointing to the success of its Budweiser Zero and Stella Artois Alcohol Free products.
Other factors have also boosted sales. Mark Wingfield-Digby, off-trade sales director at Budweiser, said: “Covid-19 had massive long-term implications on how Brits consume beer.
“As we look ahead to 2022 and beyond, premiumisation is our big bet.
“Combined with the increased momentum for at-home beer consumption, there’s a huge opportunity for retailers to drive sales through a robust premium line-up.”

Zambia: National Breweries’ second quarter margins eroded by high packaging and distribution costs
|
Delta Corporation says second quarter margins at its Zambian subsidiary, National Breweries (Natbrew), were eroded by high costs of distribution and packaging, the Herald reported on December 20.
The giant beverages company attributed the erosion of margins to the depreciation of the Zambian Kwacha prior to the coming in of the new Government.
But the Kwacha has appreciated following new President Hakainde Hichilema’s August 2021 election victory.
“Despite this, the appreciation of the Kwacha post elections resulted in a significant exchange gain which positively impacted the company`s loss after tax and loss per share,” the company said in a trading update.
The Zambian company expects its loss per share for the half year ended 30 September 2021 to be 84 percent lower than the corresponding period last year.
Natbrew produces, packages and markets traditional sorghum beer products in Zambia. Popular brands of its opaque beer are Chibuku Shake-Shake and Chibuku Super.
“The company recorded a 14 percent reduction in revenue due to the reduced volumes compared to last year as the Covid-19 restrictions in 2020 resulted in higher sales of some of the company’s packs.”
Limited access to market due to Covid-19 induced lockdowns and resurgence of competition from other bulk beer offerings that are not excise/VAT

UK: Camden Town Brewery’s record supermarket sales fail to cure Covid hangover
|
Losses at Camden Town Brewery have ballooned as record sales at supermarkets failed to cure its Covid hangover, The Grocer reported on December 20.
Volumes in UK’s off-trade almost doubled in the year ended 31 December 2020. However, these sales were not enough to offset the lost trade at pubs, restaurants and other foodservice venues, where the Hells lager maker generates about 70% of its business.
Revenues slumped 20% to £41.4 mln, leading to operating losses widening from £6.1 mln in 2019 to £20.5 mln in 2020. Pre-tax losses increased by more than £15 mln to £24.7 mln, according to newly filed accounts.
Despite the challenges, Camden boosted its prominence with a major ‘Fresh as Hells’ campaign – with TV adverts running at half-time during the Champions League semi-finals and final. It said the exposure increased brand awareness by 65.3%.
Camden also launched its own online e-commerce shop selling beer and branded merchandise, which it said was “well received” by consumers.
The brewer, which was acquired by AB InBev in 2015, was fully integrated into its parent group in October 2021, as revealed by The Grocer at the end of last year.

Romania: Ursus Breweries will purchase 100% green electricity as of next year
|
As from January, Romania’s Ursus Breweries will purchase 100% green electricity mostly from ENGIE Romania, which operates generation units with a total installed capacity of about 113 MW, the Romania Insider reported on December 21.
The French group operates wind farms and solar parks located in the counties Galați, Brăila, Harghita and Teleorman.
In just six months, Ursus Breweries is expected to reduce its CO2 emissions by almost 4,000 tonnes, the equivalent of the carbon dioxide production of more than 1,700 vehicles over the same period.
Ursus Breweries is the largest beer producer in Romania. Currently, Ursus Breweries has 3 breweries: in Brașov, Buzău and Timișoara and a mini production facility in Cluj-Napoca. Ursus Breweries is part of Asahi Europe & International.

Canada: Barley supply at 7.81 mln tonnes down sharply from 2020-21
|
For 2021-22, Canadian barley supply is revised lower from last estimate, reflecting a decline in total production as reported by Statistics Canada (STC), Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada said in its December report.
Total supply is now projected at 7.81 million tonnes (Mt), down sharply from 2020-21 and a record low level, primarily due to production issues in Canada’s Prairie provinces, as well as record low carry-in stocks.
STC confirmed in its final production report for 2021 that the 2021 barley crop is the smallest on record in Canada. Set at 6.95 million tonnes (Mt), the final Canadian barley production for 2021 is
down 3% from STC's September estimate of 7.14 Mt and well below 10.74 Mt a year earlier. The decrease in national production was largely driven by the much smaller 2021-barley crop in Western Canada, compared to 2020, because of the severe drought on the Prairies. In the final 2021 production report, barley production in Western Canada for this year is estimated at 6.55 Mt, down from the September estimate of 6.82 Mt and well below the 10.35 Mt a year earlier.
Due to the tight supply, demand for both domestic feed consumption and exports will be sharply lower than last year. Carry-out

Australia & UK: Australia and UK sign free trade agreement
|
Grain Producers Australia (GPA) has welcomed the announcement of Federal Trade, Tourism and Investment Minister, Dan Tehan, signing the UK free trade agreement on December 17, the Grain Central reported.
GPA chief executive, Colin Bettles, said the Australian Government securing the deal, to remove trade barriers on farm exports, was good news for Australian grain producers and communities.
“When it enters into force, this deal will provide better market access to more than 65 million UK consumers. Duty-free quotas will be available immediately, with tariffs fully eliminated over four years, for Australian grains such as wheat and barley,” he said.
“Traditionally the UK has not been a big volume market for Australian grains, but this deal also delivers economic benefits by removing tariffs and restrictions imposed on other commodities such as sheep meat and wool, which many Australian grain producers often also grow, sell and export.
“GPA supports governments pursuing initiatives which strengthen fair trade and bolster market access, to help boost the profitability and sustainability of Australian grain producers.”
Mr Bettles said GPA also welcomed news the UK trade agreement would enhance access to skilled workers needed in the Australian grains industry, from Northern Hemisphere countries, by increasing the working holiday visa age limit

China & France: Chinese importers make fresh purchases of French wheat and barley following slide in prices
|
Chinese importers have made fresh purchases of French wheat and barley last week following a slide in prices, with around 10 large vessels thought to have been booked, five European traders said on Friday, December 17.
The volume was on top of another round of deals about two weeks ago and reflects ongoing Chinese import requirements in feed grains for livestock.
Last week’s sales were believed to comprise four to six cargoes of 2021 crop French feed wheat along with four to five cargoes of 2022 crop feed barley. The deals were for panamax vessels, meaning the total volume could reach around 600,000 tonnes, the traders said.

Ukraine: Ukraine’s total grain exports up 22.2% so far this season
|
Ukraine has exported 29.2 million tonnes of grain so far in the 2021/22 July-June season, up 22.2% from the same stage a season earlier, agriculture ministry data showed on December 17.
That included 15.3 million tonnes of wheat, 5.1 million tonnes of barley and 8.4 million tonnes of corn, the data showed.
Ukraine plans to thresh a record 80.9 million tonnes of grain in clean weight this year, up from 65 million tonnes in 2020. Exports could jump to 62.4 million tonnes from 44.7 million tonnes in 2020/21.
The government has said grain exports could include 24.5 million tonnes of wheat, 30.9 million tonnes of corn and 5.2 million tonnes of barley.
Ukraine's exports last season included 23.1 million tonnes of corn, 16.6 million tonnes of wheat and 4.2 million tonnes of barley.

India: Diageo India shifts focus to premium liquor
|
The Indian liquor industry has been undergoing a transformation of sorts with rise in demand for quality drinks, especially around the urban areas. The ongoing pandemic has only accelerated this process. Premiumization is one trend that has accelerated during the lockdown. Consumers are now better aware and concerned about the quality of everything they consume, and are increasingly willing to pay extra for high-quality alcoholic beverages. This has created opportunities for liquor companies to offer premium price points, The Financial Express reported on December 17.
Diageo India, for one, is launching & relaunching a slew of options in its range of international as well as Indian liquor. The company has taken this time to rethink a lot of its strategies in India, Vikram Damodaran, Chief Innovation Officer, Diageo India, told Financial Express Online. During the year 2021 and the last, Diageo India raised its total stake in liquor firm United Spirits Limited (USL) to 55.9 per cent, entered into craft spirits segment, outpaced Pernod Ricard in the premium segment for the first time ever in India, premiumised its entire portfolio, and onboarded Hina Nagarajan as the MD & CEO of the India business.
