Serbia and Montenegro: The Kosovo Trust Agency has launched privatisation of Peja Brewery
The Kosovo Trust Agency announced on October 7 it has launched the privatisation of Peja
Brewery (N.P. Fabrika e Birrës), a socially owned enterprise, which is considered to be one
of the most important enterprises to be privatised.
Prequalification dates for both entities are January
11, 2006, with the first round of bids dues by January 18, 2006.
The new
company, NewCo Peja Brewery L.L.C. will only include the assets that constitute Peja Brewery’s beer
production and commercialisation activity, namely a major part of its main production site in Pejë/Peć.
It does not include a number of Peja Brewery assets that are considered to be
“non-core”. Special Spin-off conditions apply to NewCo’s tender.
Peja Brewery is the major beer producer in
Kosovo, producing approximately 193,000 hectoliters of beer in 2004. Peja Brewery’s main product is a
light, full-flavoured, Pilsner-type beer, which is branded “Birrë e Pejës”. It is sold in glass
bottle (0.5 litre and 0.33 litre) and in keg (50 litres). “Birrë e Pejës” is
the leading beer in Kosovo, where it enjoys strong brand recognition. The company also produces
malt (the main raw material in beer) from barley, for its own use and for
third-party sales. Other revenue is

Australia: Joe White Maltings will close its Wendouree malt production plant
Australian agribusiness, ABB Grain Ltd announced on October 6 that its wholly owned subsidiary, Joe
White Maltings, will close its Wendouree malt production plant at Ballarat from December 1.
Joe White
Maltings says the decision was due to the need for major capital investment in the
Ballarat plant to bring it up to efficient operation. “The 30,000 tonnes of malt previously
produced by Wendouree will now be covered by the more efficient, low cost Forrestfield plant
in Perth,” ABB Grain Ltd’s managing director, Michael Iwaniw, said.
“In addition to covering the malt
production previously produced at Wendouree, an additional 70,000 tonnes will be produced at Forrestfield. “The
doubling of Joe White Maltings’ Forrestfield’s annual malt capacity to 200,000 tonnes is the result
of a $40 million upgrade to the WA plant, with the extra production used to
supply the expanding malt market in Asia.
“The increased efficiencies we will gain from the Western
Australian upgrade, which will be completed in February 2006, will better position ABB and Joe
White to compete in the Asian market.”
Joe White Maltings’ other plants in the Ballarat region
– Lake Gardens and Delacombe – will continue to produce malt. Many of the Wendouree
staff are long-term employees and

The largest Russian maltster, Russky Solod, reported sales of their maximum capacities of 320,000 tonnes
for the crop year of 2005/2006. The company revealed it plans to raise its total
capacity to 0.5 million tonnes over the next few years.

of 2004 to 180,000 tonnes in the first semester of this year.
Russian malt prices
are reported to be € 250,- / € 270,- ex works for first class malt,
produced from imported barley, but only € 230,-/ € 250,- for first class malt of
Russian barley of Western varieties, another € 20,- less for fair average quality. (All prices
excl. VAT.)
Malteurop opened officially its Ukrainian malthouse expansions at Charkov and Chernigov: they will produce
a total of 150.000 tons of malt.

Brazil: Three new barley varieties for brewing were launched for the South of Brazil
On September 2, during the Expointer 2005 in Esteio, Wheat Embrapa in Passo Fundo, Rio
Grande do Sul, three new barley varieties were launched, Assessoria de Imprensa has recently posted.
These varieties, BRS Marciana, BRS Lagoa and BRS Mariana, are of good quality, appropriate for
brewing purposes and can be easily grown in the South of Brazil. The launching was
held in the Embrapa House and the Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Roberto Rodrigues, as well
as the President of Embrapa, Mr. Silvio Crestania attended the presentation.
In Brazil, differently
to other countries, the malting has been the main economic use of the barley, because
the country has other more profitable options in order to feed animals. In this sense,
approximately 85% of the barley is used for the malt production, 7% is kept as
seeds and 8% for the production of feed products, when it does not reach the
quality required for malting. The annual consumption of malt by the Brazilian brewing industry is
estimated to be one million tonne, while 70% of this demand is supplied by importing
malt from Argentina, Uruguay, Canada or Europe.
The barley production in Brazil is concentrated in
the South, but there are
