Craft beer maker Bira 91 has raised $25 million in funding through External Commercial Borrowing (ECB) from its existing investor Kirin Holdings, Indian Startup News reported on June 18.

The funding marks the conclusion of a larger $50 million round that the company has been pursuing over the past three months. The latest tranche follows a previous $25 million investment from Tiger Pacific Capital in March.

The board at Bira has passed a resolution to raise $25 million via ECB (external commercial borrowings) from Kirin Holdings in two tranches of $12.5 million each, Entrackr reported citing the regulatory filing accessed from the Registrar of Companies.

Brewery news France & Belgium: French beer gaining popularity in Belgium
Over the last ten years, French brewers have been increasing production as their beers have become more popular, Euronews.com reported on June 18.

Brewers in France are taking on traditionally beer-producing nations as French beer becomes more popular.

Over the last ten years, French brewers have increased production due to growing sales in Belgium. This is especially true for some breweries located along the border.

In the beer section of a Belgian hypermarket, one bottle stands out from the crowd.

The beer is produced at the Baron Brewery in Gussignies, France, just a few kilometres from the border with Belgium. The brewers there learned their skills in Belgium before developing them in France.

Now, these French beers can be found on the shelves alongside their Belgian counterparts. Several tens of thousands of bottles leave the Baron Brewery each year, 10% of which are destined for Belgium.

One supermarket customer explained he drinks this French beer because 'its taste is different' from what he can find in Belgium.

But the sales director at Saint-Feuillien Brewery near Mons insists Belgian beer is expanding in France as well: "50% of our production goes abroad, three-quarters of which goes to France. In certain regions, the French are still discovering beer, previously ...More info on site

Malting volumes at 378,704t surprised in April be exceeding the feed barley figure, and by surging 61pc from the 235,887t shipped in March.

China on 240,274t was the biggest market for malting exports, with The Netherlands making a rare appearance in second place with a 69,995t cargo, and Mexico on 33,000t in third place.

Continuing the trend, China on 146,041t was the destination for almost all April sorghum exports, with Taiwan on 2215t in second place, and The Philippines on 1296t in third.

Flexi Grain pool manager Sam Roache said China has been the most active current buyer in the July-August period on new business as Australia’s barley stocks run down to record tight levels.

“While China remains the dominant buyer, their export share does remain a little below expectations, meaning that Australia is continuing to hold on to a more diverse range of buyers that we ...More info on site

On June 14, the Russian Union of Grain Exporters, which began publishing consensus forecasts for this year's grain harvest and exports in 2024/25 MY on May 17, lowered its estimate of wheat exports from Russia in the new season by 14.7% compared to the previous month, to 40 mln tonnes, Interfax reports.

As specified, the estimate of corn exports decreased by 5.7%, to 5 mln tonnes, barley exports remained unchanged at 4.3 mln tonnes. The consensus forecast for total grain exports is 53.5 mln tonnes, down 9.5% from a month ago.

The gross harvest of Russian grain in 2024 is forecast at 125.1 mln tonnes (down 7% from May), including 79.3 mln tonnes of wheat (down 8.6%), 18.6 mln tonnes of barley (down 3.6%), and 14.9 mln tonnes of corn (down 2.6%).

According to Eduard Zernin, the Union's chairman of the board, both harvest and export forecasts continued to decline as the harvesting campaign progressed.

Barley news Canada: Government invests over C$5 mln to create more resilient barley varieties
The federal government has invested over C$5 million into the barley sector, aimed at creating more resilient varieties that can handle climate change, Canadian Cattlemen reported on June 13.

Federal Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Lawrence MacAulay on June 12 announced C$5,257,073 earmarked for the Canadian Barley Research Coalition. The funding echoes similar announcements for research clusters dedicated to commodities like canola and pulses.

Government says more resilient and sustainable barley will help Canadian growers remain competitive in world markets.

“Our hardworking barley producers provide top-quality grain to so many industries, from the livestock sector to the Canadian brewing industry,” MacAulay said in a press release.

“This vitally important research will help producers incorporate climate-resilient barely crops into their operations and increase the profitability and sustainability of their farms.”

The investment will also support sustainable economic growth in Saskatchewan and Alberta, which are big barley producing provinces, said Dan Vandal, federal minister for Prairies Economic Development Canada.

“The project aims to respond to climate change in ways that spur economic development and is an example of how the Framework for a Green Prairie Economy moves us closer to our goal of creating a stronger, sustainable economic future together,” Vandal said.
