Ukraine produced about 45.6 thousand tons of brewer’s malt during the first quarter of 2003 year, 2.5 thousand tons more than for the same period last year. In March the production of brewer’s malt increased by 15.6% versus March 2002 and reached 17.6 thousand tons. Analysts attribute the increase to the production optimization at malting plants and to the expected increase in beer demand after seasonal recession.

In 2002 Ukraine produced 164.91 thousand tons of brewer’s malt.
