0 Peru: SAB Miller Peru sees 10% sales growth

Brewing giant SABMiller Plc said it could invest more than $100 million in its Peruvian unit by March 2008 to raise production and consolidate its dominant market share in the country, Reuters reported March 20.

Speaking at the Latin American Investment Summit in Lima Peru on Tuesday, SABMiller Peru chief executive Robert Priday forecast 10 percent sales and volume growth this year for its Peruvian brewery Backus y Johnston, which posted 1.569 billion soles ($490 million) in sales last year.

His forecast would be double the 5.1 percent increase in sales revenue posted in 2006, but lower than the 12.3 percent growth in sales volume last year, as measured in hectoliters.
Reuters Pictures

The rapid expansion of the Peruvian economy was fueling 2007 sales growth, Priday said. Peru's gross domestic product grew 8 percent last year, its fastest rate in 11 years.

In tandem with the growth, will be an 8 percent increase in Peru's per capita beer consumption from last year's 33 liters (8.7 U.S. gallons) per capita consumption.

Peru has one of the lowest beer consumption rates in Latin America, making it an attractive market, he added.

Last year, SABMIller invested $102 million in Peru and Priday saw even more investments this year.

0 UK: Brewers call for tax freeze in budget to ease smoking ban

Britain’s brewers are calling on the Chancellor to freeze beer duty in next week’s Budget to help ease the pressures created by the forthcoming smoking ban and rapidly escalating energy and supply costs, The British Beer and Pub Association announced March 16.

The British Beer and Pub Association is impressing on Government three critical issues currently facing the nation’s beer and pub sector:

- The sector faces an inevitable fall in beer sales when the smoking ban is introduced on 1st July - despite investing some £70 million to date to try and smooth the introduction of the ban. While recovery is anticipated in the medium term, the evidence from Ireland (beer sales down 7%) and Scotland (beer sales down 6%) clearly demonstrates an immediate downturn is inescapable.• Rapidly escalating energy costs are driving up the direct costs of beer production and distribution and are equally driving up costs to those who supply brewers, with inevitable inflationary consequences.

- Global barley crop failures caused by adverse weather conditions have led to a 50 per cent hike in prices.

- The amount of beer we drink in the UK has fallen by 11 per cent over the last decade. Last year alone, ... More Info

0 USA: Scientists released two new varieties of barley that resist Russian wheat aphid

Agricultural Research Service scientists and their collaborators have released two new varieties and 50 germplasm lines of barley that resist all known types of Russian wheat aphid, the pest afflicting western Great Plains barley, Farm Futures published March 20.

The original RWA began damaging barley crops in the Plains in 1986, and five new races of the pest have been found since 2003. RWA has halted barley production in parts of eastern Colorado and Wyoming, and in parts of western Nebraska and Kansas.

The new varieties, named Sidney and Stoneham, are drought-hardy spring feed barleys. The scientists also released 36 spring germplasm lines of malting barley, and 14 germplasm lines of feed barley, seven each for spring and winter planting. They are the result of collaborative work between ARS, Colorado State University and the University of Nebraska.

The new varieties and germplasms come from a 12-year project led by ARS plant geneticist Dolores Mornhinweg and geneticists Phil Bregitzer and Donald Obert. Their objective is to introduce RWA-resistant genes to every commercial barley type grown in the United States.
