Thailand: Denmark’s Carlsberg could be again business partner with Chang
Denmark’s Carlsberg announced on August 31 that it has settled a dispute with its former Asian joint-venture partner Chang, for $120 million according to Reuters. Carlsberg said its 2005 company results would show it will be hit by a $40 million fair value adjustment of the purchase price for shares in two Asian breweries, which it purchased in 2002.
Carlsberg will also pay $80 million for a 50% stake in Brewery Invest Pte Ltd and 49% of Carlsberg Brewery Hong Kong from Chang. Carlsberg ended its partnership with Chang in 2003, saying that the Thai company had not fulfilled its obligations under the joint venture agreement.
Chang, controlled by Thai whisky tycoon Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi, replied by demanding up to $2.5 billion in compensation for the termination of the joint venture.
"Chang and Carlsberg have agreed on an amicable settlement of the matters in dispute, including the arbitrations in London and Bangkok," the companies said in a joint statement, adding they will explore possibilities of working together in Thailand and Malaysia.
As part of the agreement, Carlsberg sells around 50% of Carlsberg Thai to Chang and 49% of Sukhothai Marketing Co. Carlsberg Thai will be renamed, the parties said.
Carlsberg anticipates 2005 net profit to rise

Russia: Voronezhsky brewery’s shareholders file a court suit, blocking the way for Baltic Beverages Holding
One more company of Baltic Beverages Holding (BBH) was against the consolidation of the Russian brewery market. Minor shareholders of Voronezhsky brewery filed a suit with the local court of arbitration demanding that the merger with Yarpivo be forbidden. Unknown shareholders of Baltika and Pikra, two other breweries of BBH, have recently taken similar steps, the daily Kommersant reported on August 31 . At this time the holding will be hardly able to resist the pressure of its minor shareholders.
Yarpivo and Voronezhsky brewery, two breweries,held annual general meetings in June 2005 when Yarpivo approved the merger, while shareholders of Voronezhsky brewery disagreed. Offshore company Emit Trading Limited, a minor shareholder in Voronezhsky brewery, filed a suit with the Court of Arbitration of Voronezh Region yesterday demanding that the agreement on the consolidation of Voronezhsky brewery into Yarprivo be nullified.
Actions of minor shareholders of the Voronezhsky brewery resemble recent steps taken by their counterparts from Baltika and Pikra, two other breweries of Baltic Beverages Holding.
Minor shareholders of the two breweries went to court to challenge results of the vote at the general meeting claiming that Hartwall Capital company, which acted as a minor shareholder then, is in fact connected

USA: Decreased demand for hops
USA exports around 70% of the annually grown hops. However, as countries improve the quality of the crop, many growers find it harder to survive, KVEW communicated on August 25. Dick Olsen has grown hops near prosser for 25 years. He says this year's harvest is nothing unusual.
"I think this is a pretty typical year for growing hops, it has been difficult It not only produces more to the acre, instead of 10 bails to the acre it produces about 18 bails to the acre and instead of about 9% alpha acids, it produces sometimes as high as 20% alpha acids," said Olsen.
The higher quality hops have led to an over supply, driving down demand. "That resulted in a lack of new contracts because there was so much in the market place and as a result the prices were decreased and growers had to remove acres," said George with the Washington Hop Commission. n fact, experts say farmers use 20% less land for hops today, than they did six years ago. Industry experts say the once flooded hops market is clearing up.
"As a result brewers are now realizing that they may not be able to purchase
