Thailand: Boon Rawd Breweries of Thailand have purchased 60,000 tonnes of EU malt, in bulk in container, at EUR 260 C+F. Beer Thai is in the market for 150,000 tonnes, experts revealed. It is expected that 90,000 tonnes will be purchased in Australia and 60,000 tonnes from the EU. As a consequence of the FTA between Thailand and Australia, which frees Australian malt of an import tax, the price difference between EU and Australian offers is almost EUR 30 per tonne.
