Malaysia: Carlsberg Malaysia posts 151.2% jump in Q1 pre-tax profit
|
Carlsberg Brewery Malaysia Berhad has posted a 151.2 per cent jump in first quarter pre-tax profit, pushed by brisk domestic sales, particularly in the Chinese New Year festive period, Asia Pulse reported April 29.
Profit for the three months ended 31 March 2008 climbed to RM35.491 million (US$11.1 million) from RM14.126 million for the previous corresponding period.
Revenue rose 14.4 per cent to RM289.433 million from RM252.990 million previously, the brewer said in a filing to Bursa Malaysia on April 25.
Earnings per share surged to 8.67 sen from 3.48 sen a year earlier.
"The better performance was mainly due to higher domestic sales particularly during the Chinese New Year festive period," Carlsberg said.
"Gross margins were higher mainly due to more favourable product mix and better cost efficiencies."
The group expects 2008 to be a satisfactory year.
It said the strong sales and profit growth in the first quarter of 2008 was an encouraging start to the year.
Carlsberg however expects escalating prices for raw and packaging materials to exert downward pressure on the group's profit margin.
It hopes to cushion the impact of rising costs through improved price/ mix as well as operational cost effectiveness.
"Sustainable growth for the rest of the year is dependent on no further

Breeding Malting Barley under Stress Conditions in South America
Silvia E. GERMÁN Instituto Nacional de Investigación Agropecuaria
La Estanzuela, Colonia, Uruguay, South America
ABSTRACT
The annual average area sown with barley (Hordeum vulgare) in South America during 1999–2003 was 795
000 ha. In Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay, two-rowed spring cultivars are used mostly for malt production.
Research has been developed in private malting companies and official institutions supported by the industry. In
Argentina, tolerance to drought and heat stress during grain filling are important in drier areas. Yield and malt
extract had been improved in cultivars released from 1940 to 1998. In Brazil, progress in grain yield, grain size,
malting quality, early maturity, and resistance to net blotch, powdery mildew, and leaf rust has been achieved by
EMBRAPA and malting companies. Higher tolerance to soil acidity and resistance to spot blotch are required. Since
1976, malting barley breeding in INIA-Chile has improved grain yield, grain size, beer production efficiency, and
resistance to scald, net blotch, stripe rust, and leaf rust. Uruguay produces high quality malt exported mainly to
Brazil. Malting companies have released locally bred and introduced cultivars since the early 1970’s. Initiated in
1988, INIA-Uruguay breeding program has improved yield, malting quality, and lodging and disease resistance.
Fusarium head blight is a new challenge for research in Brazil and Uruguay. Information regarding malting barley
production, the most important stresses in different areas of production, and breeding progress under South
American conditions is provided. Keywords: Hordeum vulgare L.; plant breeding; stress conditions; Argentina; Brazil; Chile; Uruguay
