0 New Zeeland: Breweries plan beer price rise

New Zealand's two largest breweries are planning price rises from July 1, New Zeeland Herald reported May 2.

Lion Nathan and DB Breweries are citing higher production costs for an increase in the price of beer, but neither of the brewing giants is ready to say by how much.

Lion Nathan was first to announce its price rise.

Managing director Peter Kean said: "Over the past 12 months we've sustained increased costs right across our manufacturing and distribution activities, including higher aluminium, glass, sugar and fuel prices.

"We cannot continue to absorb higher production costs any longer."

The recent increase in road-user charges was the latest cost.

DB Breweries' managing director Brian Blake said his company would also increase prices when the annual CPI-related excise tax was increased on July 1.

"That's traditionally when the breweries look at their increases in costs," Mr Blake said.

DB had yet to determine the level of its price increase.

"We haven't done the detailed calculations at this stage. But there have been significant raw material increases over the past 12 months and they need to be recovered."

Lion's corporate affairs director, Liz Read, said the company would inform the retail trade of new prices in about two weeks.

The excise duty on alcohol is ...

0 Canada: Beer companies urge farmers to grow malt quality barley

Canada's beer companies put out a news release this week saying they want Prairie farmers to grow malting barley, The StarPhoenix published May 2.

Considering that in an average year more than two million tonnes of malting barley are selected from barley grown by Prairie farmers – and those farmers are expected to increase seeded barley acreage in 2007 – encouragement from the beer industry may seem a bit unnecessary.

Howard Collins, president and CEO of the Brewers Association of Canada said the association is committed to keeping "malting barley a viable alternative to other crops and ensuring that Canadian malt barley is globally competitive."

Canada's 14 breweries buy up about 350,000 tonnes of the malting barley selected, with the rest sold to global markets, the release notes. It concluded by saying Canada's brewers are "committed to forging stronger relations with growers and building value chains."

University of Saskatchewan agricultural economist Richard Gray says the system may some day evolve where beer companies pay a premium to farmers, but he says currently there is no mechanism for that.

Even if the brewers have to pay extra some day to encourage production, Gray says barley prices don't make a huge difference in the end price of ...
