The Democratic Republic of Congo: Beer industry likely to survive in spite of all difficulties and calamities
|
The Bralima brewery in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), is an island of modernity in a city where chaos is the norm. Inside a building near the docks where barges begin the journey up the Congo river, conveyor belts rattle as thousands of glass bottles are washed and filled with amber liquid. A generator hums to power the new brewing machinery, creating enough booze to fill 28,000 crates every two days, The Economist reported on April 19.
Yet the real achievement of Bralima, which is owned by Heineken, a Dutch brewer, is not making the beer. It is what happens when it leaves the factory. Congo is one of the worst-connected, most dysfunctional countries on Earth. Four times the size of France, it has almost no all-weather roads. In large parts of eastern DRC, the state is a fiction and rebels control the roads. Yet there is scarcely a village where it is impossible to get a beer.
Bralima was founded in 1923. Its main competitors, Bracongo and Brasimba, both owned by Castel, a secretive French family firm that operates across Africa, have been there almost as long. They are among the only surviving companies from the

Vietnam: Experts speak against ban on sale of alcoholic drinks at night
|
Experts spoke out against a proposed ban on the sale of alcoholic drinks at night during a conference on April 18, the VnExpress International reported.
The proposal aims to restrict the sale of alcohol and advertising after 10 p.m. in Vietnam, excluding international airport terminals and areas designated for food, entertainment and tourism.
The proposed ban would lead to binge drinking, said Dau Anh Tuan, head of the legal department at the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI).
"Some countries have approved this regulation, but it doesn't really work. We can ban labelled products, but not home brew,” Tuan said.
The regulation needs to be looked at again, otherwise genuine brands might suffer while small home brew makers who don't pay tax could benefit, Tuan added.
The term “areas designated for food, entertainment and tourism” in the proposal is not specifically defined, said Matt Wilson, director of foreign affairs for Heineken Vietnam LTD.
Wilson said the ban might affect big entertainment events like the annual Heineken Countdown, which attracts a lot of young people on New Year's Eve.
“I think the government’s goal can be entirely achievable by self-regulatory regulations,” Wilson said, citing that 40 percent of the world’s major markets have been successful in self-regulation

Japan: Japan’s top 4 brewers to address shortage of drivers by sharing transport resources
|
Asahi, Kirin, Sapporo and Suntory will deliver products across Japan via the same long-distance trucks and trains, in a rare display of co-operation among the nation’s big four beer brands, FoodBev reported on April 19.
According to Suntory, the move will address “the shortage of drivers”, while reducing CO2emission at the same time.
The firm estimated that all four companies can secure a long-distance transport capacity equivalent to 2,400 heavy-duty trucks by rail container, reducing annual CO2 emissions by about 1,500t, which is 74% of conventional transport models.
The initiative has been up and running for the past two weeks.
In Japan, rising cost incurred by long distance shipping and a lack of manpower have forced competitors in the same industry to share transport resources.
For instance, Asahi and Kirin, the two largest companies by market share, have begun to transport products together by rail across Japan last year.
Through this partnership, CO2 emissions are expected to be reduced by 2,700 tonnes annually through the modal switch to rail containers from an annual equivalent of 10,000 long-distance delivery trucks.
In order to facilitate transport, the two companies have even established a joint logistics centre in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture.

Russia: July-February barley exports hit all-time high for this period

Russian barley exports in July-February 2017/18 hit an all-time high for these months. Barley shipments to foreign markets totalled 4.1 mln tonnes, which is up 36% from the whole 2016/17 season (3 mln tonnes), UkrAgroConsult reported on April 20.
Traditionally, Saudi Arabia remains the top export destination for Russian barley this season, absorbing 37% of its exports.
Iran is the second largest importer of Russian barley. Its deliveries to the country exceeded 1.1 mln tonnes during the reporting period, i.e. more than twice as much as during the whole last season.
In addition, Russia resumed barley supplies to Turkey and Kuwait. Russian exporters shipped 384.6 thousand tonnes of the commodity to the Turkish market in July-February 2017/18 - the largest volume since MY 2014/15. Exports to Kuwait totaled 126 thousand tonnes. Last time Russia exported barley to this market in the 2015/16 season (190 thousand tonnes).

Australia: Barley leading in Western Australia’s grain growers’ seeding programs this year
|
Barley has emerged as the star of Western Australia’s grain growers’ seeding programs this year, with prices historically high and the state’s predicted plantings up seven per cent compared to last year, the West reported on April 19.
Australia exported almost 2.5 million tonnes of barley between the start of October last year and end of February, as demand for feed in north-east Asia soared.
Grain Industry Association of Western Australia crop report author Michael Lamond said current feed barley prices — about A$270 a tonne — were within 10 per cent of record prices. “The yields growers are getting from barley in a lot of cases are exceeding wheat, especially feed barleys,” he said.
“When you combine a higher price with extra yield it makes sense for a lot of growers to grow barley instead of wheat.”
Mr Lamond said growers across all port zones except Esperance had touted increased barley plantings, with malt varieties likely to be popular in the northern grainbelt this year.
Feed barley was trading about A$270/t this week, a rise of about A$50/t since November. Comparatively, prices for Australian Standard White wheat were about A$239/t this week.
The China-Australia Free Trade Agreement has also removed a 3 per cent tariff
