USA: Attis Industries acquires Sunoco’s New York malting facility
|
Attis Industries Inc., a diversified innovation and technology holding company announced on January 22 that it has entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement with Sunoco LP (“Sunoco”) to acquire and operate its corn ethanol plant and grain malting operation in Fulton, NY, the Owego County Today reported.
The plant will become the essential element of Attis’ expanding technology portfolio as it develops the site into the most comprehensive Green Tech campus for renewable fuels in the country.
Total consideration for the divestiture is $20 million in cash.
The transaction is subject to regulatory clearances and customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2019.
Attis expects to finance the transaction with non-dilutive secured debt financing.
Included within the acquisition is the 1886 Malt House which is a direct beneficiary of incentives designed to promote the local farm to brewery industry.
In 2013, New York created a farm brewery law to provide licenses only to those farmers whose beer is made primarily from locally grown farm products.
Under this program, the Malt House will receive some tax-exempt status and contribute to the $4 billion per year craft brewery business in the state of New York.

South Korea: Local brewers complaining of tax disadvantages compared to foreign distributors
|
Sets of four to six imported beers sold at 10,000 won ($8.85) are one of the hottest deals at local convenience stores in South Korea, the Korea JoongAng Daily reported on January 25.
Their popularity is driving the rapid growth of imported beer in Korea.
However, Korean beer companies are complaining that they face a tax disadvantage compared to foreign distributors.
The controversy started when the Korea Customs Service started investigating whether Heineken misreported its production costs to escape taxes.
Korean beer companies claim that the reason for the boom of foreign beers is because of the unfair tax system. They advocate a per-unit tax where the tax is imposed not on the price of the drink but at the volume of the drink and percentage of alcohol in it.
Currently, a liquor tax, education tax and value-added tax are imposed on beer produced in Korea.
If the factory price of a beer is 1,000 won, the liquor tax is 720 won, education tax is 216 won and added-value tax is 194 won, leading to a total price of 2,130 won. For imported beer, the beer is taxed at a similar rate as Korean beer, plus possible tariffs, but it is based on

Tunisia: Tunisian Beverage Manufacturing Company reports record beer sales in 2018
|
2018 was a good year for the Tunisian Beverage Manufacturing Company (SFBT). The first brewer in Tunisia managed to achieve record sales of beer, the African Manager reported on January 24.
As of December 31, 2018, the total turnover of the SFBT reached 650 million dinars against 571 million a year earlier, up 13.8%.
This performance is mainly attributed to the 21% increase in the turnover of local beer, which went from 360.7 to 436.6 million dinars between December 2017 and December 2018 (+76 million dinars), generated by the sale of 184.4 million litres of beer.
Sales of soft drinks rose by 5.6% to 150 million dinars at the end of December.
On the production side, the company produced 1,453,462 hl in soft drinks in 2018, while beer production increased by 9.7% to 1,886,083 hl.
In addition, investments over the reporting period amounted to 52.3 million dinars (+ 36%) and consisted mainly of new extensions in the company’s factories and the purchase of equipment.
As for the debt, it stood 125 million dinars on December 31 last against a balance of 109.8 million at the end of December 2017.

South Korea: Alcohol consumption frequency unchanged in 2018, survey shows
|
According to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corp., the average frequency of drinking for mainstream consumers was 8.8 days a month in 2018, which was the same as the previous year, The Korea Bizwire reported on January 21.
The survey was conducted with the participation of 2,000 men and women between the ages of 19 and 59.
While the frequency of drinking was same as that of the previous year, the amount of alcohol consumed has steadily decreased.
Among respondents, 30.5 percent answered that they drink 1 to 4 days a month, 29.7 percent answered 5 to 8 days, and 26.7 percent answered 9 to 16 days, while 13.2 percent drank more than 17 days a month.
Consumption wise, respondents drank an average of 6.3 glasses per drinking session, compared to 6.9 glasses last year.
The average consumption of alcohol at a time is steadily decreasing, as it was 8.3 glasses in 2014, 8.2 glasses in 2015, 7.9 glasses in 2016 and 6.9 glasses in 2017.
The survey further analyzed the preferred drinks of respondents. Beer was consumed the most frequently at 40 percent, followed by soju at 31.3 percent, traditional liquor

Canada: Malting barley prices expected to begin at minimum C$5 per bushel this year
|
We have entered the time of year when the farm shows are in progress. The Crop Production Show in Saskatoon just finished and the Brandon Ag Days will begin this week. Traditionally this is when the maltsters and grain companies reveal pricing ideas for their malt barley programs, Canadian Malting Barley Technical Centre (CMBTC) reported on January 23.
Farmers anticipate malt barley prices to begin at a minimum of C$5/bushel (bu) and higher. There was not much in the manner of published prices from the Saskatoon Show, however C$5/bu was indicated for Sept/Oct. by some exporters and one maltster began its new crop program at C$5.25/bu.
To recap, the barley market has generally been good to barley farmers this past crop year. Malt barley prices have ranged from a low of C$230/tonne (C$5/bu) to a current price of C$268/tonne (C$5.85/bu) for June/July delivery. The feed barley market has also traded at attractive price levels throughout the year and it is presently trading at C$255/tonne in Lethbridge. The new crop bid is C$220 (C$4.75/bu) for Sept/Oct delivery. The situation for the feed, malt and export market will bring the barley carryover close to 1 million tonnes or less, which reflects the

USA: Irish whiskey sales hold strong despite decline in alcohol consumption
|
Irish whiskey sales in the U.S. have held strong despite a decline in alcohol consumption, new data reveals.
Preliminary figures from International Wine and Spirits Research (IWSR), show that Irish whiskey sales rose 13.5 percent to 4.65 million cases last year, the IrishCentral reported.
Irish whiskey, which comprises six percent of the total US whiskey market, was the second fastest growing brown spirit after Japanese whiskey, which saw a 23.1 percent increase in 2018. Japanese whiskey represents 0.1 percent of the market.
Overall whiskey sales were up 4.1 percent but were outdone by other spirits such as tequila (up 8.5 percent) and mescal (up 32.4 percent).
Although Irish whiskey continues to record double-digit growth in the U.S., there is a concern that the rise in sales is slowing, The Irish Times reports. In 2015, growth in Irish whiskey sales hit 19 percent, when more than 3 million cases were sold.
For the third year in a row, alcohol consumption in the U.S. has continued to decline, with figures showing that total consumption dropped 0.8 percent to 3.345 billion cases.
The Irish Times has reported that rival whiskey producers have banded together to access EU funding in hopes of carving out opportunities in China and Japan
