USA: Households demand for beer still quite resilient despite inflation – AB InBev
|
Inflation-ravaged households appear to still have a few bucks left over each week to reach for a 12-pack of Budweiser, Yahoo Money reported on June 9.
"Consumer demand in the U.S. has proven to be quite resilient," Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) CEO Michel Doukeris said at a fireside chat with Evercore ISI analysts on June 8. Doukeris's comments were shared by Evercore ISI in a new note to clients on June 9.
The note detailed how Doukeris citied a strong Memorial Day weekend of sales, with lagers such as Busch, Busch Light, and Michelob Ultra performing notably well in addition to explaining that the company is seeing a normalization of demand trends as consumers return to work and on-premise channels such as bars and restaurants.
Inflation is “higher everywhere,” Doukeris acknowledged, but went onto say that consumer purchasing power remains robust.
AB InBev stock fell 1% in the June 9th session and the shares are down 10.7% so far this year compared to a 14% drop for the S&P 500.

Namibia: Namibia Breweries financial diretor confidente of approval of majority stake sale to Heineken
|
Listed beverages maker Namibia Breweries Limited's financial director, Walder von Lieres, said he was confident the sale of 50,01% of the company to Heineken will be approved by the competition watchdog, the Namibian reported.
He said this at the public consultations on the deal on June 9, citing that competition will not be negatively impacted.
“We are very confident that we have presented a good case of why this is a compelling merger for Namibia Breweries and for the merging parties. We are confident that approval will be granted within the time frame set,” he said.
Considered to be one of the biggest deals in the country recently, Netherlands beermaker Heineken NV last year entered an agreement with the Ohlthaver & List (O&L) Group to buy its stake in Namibia Breweries Limited (NBL), valued at about N$3,5 billion.
Heineken, to date, has not disclosed how much it will pay for the stake.
At the public consultations in Windhoek on June 9, the Namibian Competition Commission chief executive Vitalis Ndalikokule said the deal was one of the big transactions in the economy and all views would be respected and considered in rejecting or accepting the buyout.
“We want to bring the voice of all concerned before we

Germany: Brewers begging buyers to return empty crates of beer bottles
|
German breweries are begging buyers to return their empty crates of beer bottles amid ongoing shortages.
The New York Times reported the news.
Energy prices for the manufacture of glass have played a role in the shortage, as has the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, which supplies German brewers with glass.
Russian blockades of Ukrainian ports have also hampered exports out of the country, threatening a global food crisis that could become catastrophic.
"It is deadly for small brewers," Stefan Fritsche, who runs a German brewery, told the Times, citing difficulties in getting customers to lug their empty crates back to the stores.
In a statement sent to Insider, general manager of the German Brewers' Association, Holger Eichele, said the shortages were "indirectly related" to the conflict in Ukraine.
"It is a fact that unfortunately several glass factories in Ukraine have been destroyed by Russian attacks or had to close down and therefore can no longer deliver to Western Europe. This has increased the overall demand for glass products and glass containers in Germany as well," the statement added.
Eichele also cited reduced activity at factories as a result of rising energy costs as a reason for the shortages, which was also pushing up the price

Thailand: Bill seeking to give opportunities to small-scale brewers sails through the first reading
|
Thai opposition Move Forward Party’s Progressive Liquor Bill, seeking to give opportunities to small-scale brewers, sailed through the first reading with 178 “yes” votes, 137 “no” votes and 15 abstentions, The Nation reported on June 2.
The bill, which seeks to amend the Excise Tax Act, will be scrutinised by a 25-member committee over the next seven days before it is submitted for second and final readings.
The 178 who voted affirmative included several MPs from the government camp, including 23 from the Democrat Party, nine from Bhumjaithai and two from Palang Pracharath.
After the vote, Move Forward MPs cheered and several hugged Taopiphop Limjittrakorn, who had proposed the bill.
The bill was inspired by Taopiphop’s arrest for brewing craft beer without permission in January 2017.
He proposed the Progressive Liquor Bill on May 29, 2020, when he was a Future Forward Party MP. However, it was rejected by the Cabinet in February this year and returned to the House for further deliberation.
Taopiphop has been pushing for the Excise Tax Act to be amended because it limits brewers’ rights and freedom to do business.
He admitted that he was excited when the bill returned to the House of Representatives for deliberation on February 2.

India: Corona beer switches to barley straw packaging
|
In India, AB InBev’s popular Corona beer brand has switched its cardboard six-pack packaging to waste barley straw, TheDigest reported on June 6.
The new material is as durable as its predecessor but does not require virgin wood. The straw would also otherwise be burned—a widespread practice for agricultural waste that is a key contributor to India’s notoriously poor air quality.
“This is also a vital step towards achieving our larger global goal of ensuring that 100% of our product packaging will be returnable or made from a majority of recycled content by 2025,” Ashwin Kak, Head of Procurement & Sustainability, India & South East Asia, AB InBev, says in a press statement. “At AB InBev, our dream is to create a future with more cheers, and we are proud to invest in sustainable solutions that positively impact the environment and our communities.”
The new six pack holders were developed by AB InBev in partnership with sustainable packaging company Craste. More than three years in development, the holders are being piloted in Bangalore before being rolled out to other Indian states.

Canada & Australia: Canada importing around 100,000 tonnes of Australian barley this year
|
Canada is importing around 100,000 tonnes of Australian barley this year to help it fill deficits left by last year’s drought, and there could be more to follow, the Grain Central reported on June 9.
Australian shipping stems indicate one cargo was shipped in February, with a second due to berth on June 9 at the G3 terminal in Three Rivers, Quebec.
A third is now on its way from the Victorian port of Geelong, and includes barley loaded in South Australia.
The sales are part of a remarkable period in global barley trade in which China, the world’s biggest malting barley importer, closed the door in 2020 to Australian barley.
Since the 1990s, Australia has been one of China’s biggest, if not its biggest, supplier.
World markets have also felt the impact from last year’s drought in Canada, which has reduced its exportable surplus, and prompted it to make atypical purchases from Denmark and France as well as Australia to shore up domestic requirements.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and resulting blockades of Ukraine’s Black Sea ports have come as the latest reshaper of barley trade flows, which were outlined yesterday by Ag Scientia principal Lloyd George during an Australian Export Grains Innovation Centre malting barley

Australia: Malting barley exports up 15% in April
|
Australia exported 774,340 tonnes of barley and 234,529t of sorghum in April, according to the latest export data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the Grain Central reported on June 10.
The malting total of 139,797t is up 15 per cent from the 121,452t shipped in March, while the feed total of 634,553t is up 3pc from the 614,055t shipped in March.
Sorghum exports more than doubled over the month to 234,529t, with China the destination for 94pc of the total.
Flexi Grain pool manager Sam Roache said reported April malting barley shipments, plus 33,000t classified as feed barley to Canada, but with malt as its likely endpoint, make it the biggest month for malting exports in more than two years.
“Numbers like this take us back to pre-COVID and even pre-China tariff days.
“South America continues to consistently underpin the program, with Asian demand also consistent.”
Mr Roache said malting stocks in Australia are tight, with spreads holding and even extending versus feed barley, despite the already high flat-price levels.
“The tight stocks and the onset of the Canadian harvest shipping in Sep-Oct will likely see shipments trimmed to well below current levels, but demand is expected to stay strong overall.”
Mr Roache said April was

Ukraine & Russia & Turkey: Ukraine grain export plan deemed reasonable - Turkey
|
Turkey's foreign minister said on June 6 a United Nations plan to ease a global food crisis by restarting Ukrainian grain exports along a sea corridor was "reasonable", and required more talks with Moscow and Kyiv to ensure ships' safety.
Speaking alongside Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Turkey's Mevlut Cavusoglu said their meeting in Ankara was fruitful, adding Turkey's latest contacts and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's recent statements showed there may be a basis for a return to talks.
But Ukraine's ambassador to Turkey accused Russia of putting forward unrealistic proposals, such as checking vessels.
Lavrov said the onus was on Ukraine to solve the grain shipments problem by clearing mines from its Black Sea ports and that Russia needed to take no action because it had already made the necessary commitments.
"We state daily that we're ready to guarantee the safety of vessels leaving Ukrainian ports and heading for (Turkish waters), we're ready to do that in cooperation with our Turkish colleagues," he said after the talks with Cavusoglu.
Ukraine's foreign ministry, however, dismissed as "empty words" Lavrov's assurances that Moscow will not use the situation to its advantage if Kyiv allows grain shipments to leave safely via the Black Sea.
