0 Cambodia: Cambodia loses 22 million dollars to beer smuggling in 2006

Beer smuggling cost Cambodia's government 22 million US dollars in lost tax revenue last year, according to an economic think tank, which warned Friday that contraband alcohol was on the increase, AFP reported May 11.

Millions of bottles and cans of beer imported from Singapore and Thailand simply disappeared at the Cambodian border before being taxed, the Economic Institute of Cambodia (EIC) said in a report commissioned by two local breweries, Cambrew and Cambodia Brewery Ltd.

"With weak governance and law enforcement, 'contraband' beer has ... been booming," the EIC said, adding that the smuggled brew accounted for 29 percent of the country's total beer market, far outstripping legal imports at six percent.

The Japanese beer Asahi, the cheapest foreign brand on the market, made up the largest percentage of imported beer, the EIC said.

"It is crucial the government take energetic measures to combat 'contraband' beer, especially along the Thai border," it added.

The losses represent about three percent of Cambodia's total budget revenue, and have wider implications for anyone trying to produce locally, business experts said.

The Swiss foods giant Nestle closed its factory in Cambodia several years ago because its locally produced products could not compete with smuggled goods, according to Bretton Sciaroni, ... More Info

0 China: Australia stopped buying Australian malting barley because of high prices

China has stopped buying Australian malting barley as a worldwide shortage has sent prices soaring, and further sales are unlikely until the next harvest later this year, Reuters reported May 11.

Australia's biggest barley exporter, South Australian-based ABB Grain Ltd., said this week that Chinese buyers were refusing to buy at current world prices.

East coast exporter GrainCorp Ltd. had the same experience, Ole Houe, manager of coarse grains, said on Friday.

Malting barley prices in China have risen more than $100 a tonne to over $300 a tonne this year, causing Chinese brewers to substitute other grains in brewing beer.

"At that level they say it's not economical for us to produce," Houe said. "They use all sorts of substitutes, such as rice, they malt wheat, they make do with a lot of stuff."

This had been triggered by small barley crops in drought-hit Australia, as well as in Europe. Australia would have 100,000 tonnes or less malt barley left to sell from the old crop, even if China was buying, Houe said.

There were also doubts whether Europe would have enough barley to export from its new crop, as shown by a $40 price rise in the last ... More Info
