Canada: Canadian government takes steps to improve the performance of the rail supply chain to help farmers get grain to market
|
Canadian Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz announced on February 5 the federal government is taking further measures to improve the grain transportation supply chain based on the Crop Logistics Working Group's recommendations, according to Progressiverailroading.com.
Immediate actions include pursuing enhancements to the grain monitoring program to improve the frequency of reporting and providing an ongoing forum for grain industry representatives to discuss improvements.
A proposed expanded range of metrics and reporting frequencies would include railroad order fulfillment information pertaining to weekly rail-car orders; the size of the grain service covered hopper fleet for both mainline carriers by class of service on a weekly basis; terminal unloading performance by railroad; Western Canada grain traffic via rail to Eastern Canada, U.S. and Mexican destinations; U.S. grain traffic to Western Canadian destinations; and Western Canadian grain traffic shipped to ports in containers.
"Canada's crop industry is a vital part of the Canadian economy and we will continue to work with all parts of the supply chain to get farmers' products to market," said Ritz in a press release. "Current transportation challenges faced by producers present an opportunity for the entire value chain to improve efficiencies and position Canada's grain sector for future growth."

UK & India: UK Office of Fair Trading concerned about the impact of Diageo’s deal with United Spirits
|
Despite Diageo offering to divest bulk of Whyte & Mackay business to address anti-competition concerns posed by its deal with United Spirits, the UK OFT expressed concern about the impact of the deal, Money Life reported on February 7.
The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) in the UK has released a 53-page report detailing concerns posed by the Diageo-United Spirits deal to competition in the British whisky market.
On 25 November 2013, the OFT decided to have a fresh look at the $2 billion deal, after Diageo offered to divest bulk of Whyte & Mackay (W&M) business to address anti-competition concerns posed by this merger.
The regulator on February 6 made public the “full text” of its 25th November decision, wherein it said that “the OFT is concerned only by the impact of the transaction“.
“The focus of the competitive assessment is therefore on the incremental effect on competition of Diageo’s shareholding and the control this confers on Diageo.
“... A significant number of third parties raised the concern that the parties would restrict the supply and/or increase prices of private label blended Scotch whisky,” the 53-page order said.
The OFT had received comments from a wide range of customers and

UK: Whisky industry complains of “sustained pressure” from taxation
|
Scotch whisky is under “sustained pressure” from taxation, with spirits facing a more punitive tax burden than any other consumer product in the UK, The Grocer reported on February 7.
Representatives of the Scottish Whisky Association (SWA) met the economic secretary to the Treasury Nicky Morgan on February 6 to discuss effects of above-inflation excise duty on the industry.
Whisky drinkers pay 48% more duty than beer drinkers for the same amount of alcohol, said SWA chief executive David Frost, and VAT and duty now account for 79% of the average price of a bottle of Scottish whisky.
“Scrapping the duty escalator and freezing alcohol duty this year would benefit the UK economy and hard-pressed consumers,” he said, adding that it was unfair that one part of the drinks industry has been singled out, when the government removed the escalator from beer last year.
Duty has risen 44% since the duty escalator was introduced in 2008, according to the SWA, and while exports are increasing, the UK market for Scotch has declined 12% by volume. It is now 21% lower than it was a decade ago.
“An unfair tax system, penalising an important domestic industry, sends the wrong signals to overseas governments,” Frost said.

Japan & USA: Japanese whisky’s presence in the US is small but growing
|
Consumer enthusiasm for whiskies has created new opportunities for origins beyond Scotland, the U.S. and Ireland—and Japanese whisky is looking to benefit from the trend. The category’s presence in the U.S. is small at about 8,000 cases, according to Impact Databank, but its upscale positioning has attracted new attention, Shanken News Daily reported on February 6.
“American consumers now have a broad appetite for exploration when it comes to whiskies,” says Robin Coupar, senior brand manager of fine whiskies at Campari America, which currently imports the Suntory whisky line from Japan. Those labels include single malt brand The Yamazaki, which has a 12-year-old ($65 a 750-ml.), 18-year-old ($200) and 25-year-old ($1,600); single malt The Hakushu, offering 12-year-old ($65) and a more peated version at $160; and 12-year-old blend Hibiki ($65).
The whiskies of Suntory’s great rival, Nikka Whisky Distilling Co., are handled in the U.S. by Anchor Distilling Co., which markets Nikka’s single malt brand Yoichi 15-year-old ($130) and pure malt Taketsuru 12-year-old ($70). Anchor also has limited inventories of the Taketsuru 17-year-old ($150) and 21-year-old ($180). It recently expanded with the Miyagikyo 12-year-old ($120) from a smaller Nikka malt distillery and a younger, non-age stated whisky called Coffey Grain ($70). The
