South Africa: SABMiller to sell stake in gaming and hotel group Tsogo Sun to obtain cash for beefing up its beer business
|
SABMiller will sell its $1 billion stake in South Africa's top gaming and hotel group Tsogo Sun, the brewer said on July 7, giving it cash to beef up its African beer business.
The maker of Peroni and Miller Lite beers has been reviewing its 39.6 percent stake in Tsogo Sun as it concentrates on building its beer business in emerging markets, such as Africa, Asia and Latin America.
It has held the stake, now valued at $1.09 billion, since 2002 when it transferred its gaming and hotel assets to Tsogo Sun.
"Gaming and hotels are not core to our operations and we have concluded that the time is right for us to exit our investment through a transaction which is beneficial to shareholders of both SABMiller and Tsogo Sun," SABMiller Chief Executive Alan Clark said in a statement.
The brewer would reinvest the proceeds, including in its African operations, he said.
SABMiller said it would dispose of up to all of its shareholding through a placing of up to 305 million shares to South African and international institutional investors, and a buyback by Tsogo Sun of at least 130 million shares for about $260 million.

China: Craft beer industry growing despite lack of consumer awareness
|
Smog may be stifling Beijing’s image, but Kristian Li wants to turn that infamous haze into a marketing hook. The Toronto-born brewer, who has sold his Jing-A craft beers (with cofounder Alex Acker) in China’s capital since 2013, is pouring out a murky concoction that cheekily reminds Beijingers of their city’s dismal pollution. Li and Acker dubbed it the Airpocalypse IPA and, upon its recent debut, they announced a temporary discount that would coincide with the city’s air quality index. If pollution reached a level of 500 or more on that scale, then the suds would be given away for free—a fitting deal, considering the brew’s equally hazy flavour, which Li and Acker attained by leaving the batch completely unfiltered, Maclean’s reported on July 5.
The campaign went viral on social networks and in the international media. But the Jing-A duo say they’ve had even greater success with tapping into more positive aspects of Chinese culture. Unlike many local breweries that work to recreate the types of lagers expats are homesick for, Li and Acker brew distinctly local flavours, in the hopes of dipping into the deeper Chinese market.
“China is the biggest producer and consumer of beer in the world,” Li

USA: Constellation Brands not particularly concerned about AB InBev’s new Mexican beer brand
|
As part of the agreement with the Justice Department allowing it to acquire Grupo Modelo, Anheuser-Busch InBev had to give up to Constellation Brands its perpetual rights to Grupo Modelo's brands in the U.S., particularly Corona, a portfolio of brews that left the brewer with a large hole to fill in the growing Mexican beer movement.
According to Euromonitor International, Mexican beers are dominating imports, with brands like Heineken's Dos Equis and Corona leading the way. Constellation's other Crown Imports brand, Modelo Especial, has grown by 63% in the U.S. market since 2010.
Higher sales of Corona powered Constellation's fiscal 2015 first-quarter earnings that were released last week, with brand depletions growing more than 3% and accounting for 10% of the U.S. beer category's dollar growth. According to the market researchers at IRI, Corona Extra was the only top-five U.S. beer brand in its channels that posted dollar-share growth during the quarter, becoming the fifth-largest beer brand in the U.S. overall by overtaking Anheuser-Busch's Natural Light. Corona Light remains the top imported light brand in the U.S., with IRI estimating it owns 55% dollar share of the import light market, increasing its dollar share by almost two points this past quarter.

Egypt: President decrees tax increase on cigarettes, beer and wine
|
Egypt's president decreed an increase in sales tax on cigarettes, beer and wine, the latest in a series of price hikes that aim to ease the country's staggering budget deficit, Global Post reported on July 6.
The decision announced on July 6 increases a flat tax on local and imported cigarettes to between 25 and 40 cents per pack, depending on the brand. It doubles an already existing tax on beer, from 100 per cent to 200 per cent, and increases the tax on local and imported wines to 150 per cent.
Since assuming the presidency last month, former military chief Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi has vowed to take tough decisions to deal with the country's battered economy, and bring it out of the bottleneck within two years.
Taking on one of the country's most explosive issues — its massive energy subsidies — his government partially raised fuel prices by up to 80 per cent over the weekend. The decision came after the government announced it is gradually raising electricity prices.
Subsidies on basic food stuffs and energy eat up nearly a quarter of the state budget. Despite recommendations by international financial institutions to slash subsidies, no Egyptian leader has managed to broach the issue, fearing

Sri Lanka: Tourists boost beer sales in Sri Lanka
|
Strong tourist arrivals to Sri Lanka have boosted beer sales, with demand brimming over during the high season in popular tourist spots, the island's top beer maker was quoted by Lanka Business Online on July 7.
Sri Lanka has seen a strong increase in budget tourists who interact directly with the small businesses and enterprises.
"Unlike in the past, tourists are not confining themselves to the formal hotel sector," Chief Executive of Lion Beer (Ceylon) Plc Suresh Shah told shareholders in the annual report.
"They are seeking alternate accommodation options from high end villas to less expensive rooms in the informal sector.
"These trends are clearly reflected in the sales of Your Company’s brands through the retail and on-premise trade in tourist pockets. Volumes through these channels pick up sharply during the tourist “season”."
"Overall, tourism contributed significantly to Your Company’s sales performance."
Shah said the high margins maintained on beer sales by star classed hotels meant that those tourists prefer to obtain more beer from retailers in the vicinity.

France: Nearly half of winter barley crop harvested by June 30
|
|
French farmers had gathered nearly half of this year's winter barley crop by June 30 after field work accelerated the previous eek in the European Union's top grain producer and exporter, data from farm office FranceAgriMer showed on July 4.
An estimated 44 percent of the area sown with winter barley had been harvested by June 30, up from 6 percent a week earlier. Farmers have also made an earlier start to the harvest than last year, when no crop had been cut by the end of June.
The durum wheat harvest is also under way, with 5 percent of the crop cut by June 30, up from 1 percent a week earlier. Harvesting of soft wheat, France's main cereal crop, had not started as of July 7, the data showed.
Harvest progress is expected to have slowed this week after heavy rain last weekend and more showers forecast from July 11.
