World: Analyst forecasts lower input costs for global brewers
|
Global brewers are in line for lower input costs as a result of declines in the previously-high price for the aluminium used to make cans, the Packaging Strategies reported on January 14.
The past year has seen "significant" falls in aluminium prices, Bernstein's Trevor Stirling said. With companies typically hedging the cost of the metal packaging about a year in advance, 2020 should see a 5%-to-10% decline in can costs, Stirling has forecast.
Aluminium accounts for about half the total cost of a can, according to the analyst.
Stirling said brewers in the U.S., Western Europe and Japan are set to benefit most from the fall in can costs, as they use the packaging more than companies in developing markets, where glass is preferred. The analyst added that Western Europe brewers will likely see the least pressure on costs in 2020 because of the can tailwinds, as well as a "very strong" barley harvest in the north-east of the continent.
Malting barley prices for the 2019 crop were down 25% on the previous year, with a 15% decrease for malt, Stirling added. The U.S. is in line for a 5-to-10% decline in malting barley prices.
Despite the rosy outlook for input costs, Stirling warned that

USA: Wine, beer consumption drop in the US, ready-to-drink and spirits categories shows biggest growth
|
While 'rosé all day' is a popular motto for many, as a whole, people in the U.S. are drinking less wine than they have in the past, CNN reported on January 14.
In fact, wine consumption has dropped for the first time in 25 years, according to a new report from industry group IWSR. IWSR collects its sales figures by surveying financial releases and other proprietary data points.
Not to fear — Americans haven't cut alcohol altogether. Rather, they have been reaching for more spirits and ready-to-drink cocktails and are especially gravitating towards drinks like hard seltzers, following a broader trend of drinking less calorically dense alcoholic beverages.
In contrast, beer has been on the decline for the fourth year in a row. This year, sales fell 2.3% in total, and sales of domestic beer brands, like Budweiser, fell 3.1%, its analysis showed. In contrast, craft beer sales grew by 4.1% and low or non-alcoholic beer sales increased by 6.6%.
The category with the biggest growth was in the -ready-to-drink category, with sales growing 50% last year. The surge has been attributed to the extreme popularity of spiked seltzers such as White Claw, Truly and Bon & Viv. The industry is now worth

India: United Breweries sees craft beer sector as ‘big enough for all players to coexist’
|
India’s small, yet growing, bottled craft beer market is starting to attract the interest of big brewers, Quartz reported on January 13.
Last month, the country’s biggest beermaker by market share, United Breweries (UBL), launched Ultra Witbier, under its popular Kingfisher brand in Karnataka. The Bengaluru-based company has now launched the craft beer, its first, in Goa and is prepping to enter cities like Mumbai, Pune, and Gurugram.
In India, where whiskey and rum have been the first choice of drinkers for long, evolving consumer tastes are fuelling growth in this category, originally brewed in small quantities in microbreweries.
“For two years, we have been studying the craft beer segment closely. It is well-placed to benefit from Indian drinkers’ growing preference for visually appealing and less-bitter drinks,” Gurpreet Singh, head of marketing at UBL, said in an interview with Quartz.
Despite its deep pockets and pan-India distribution network, UBL does not see itself as a big threat to other craft beer players. “Smaller craft beer brands and players such as Bira 91, Simba, and White Owl have created this niche segment and it is big enough for all the players to coexist,” added Singh.
He also talked about the company’s expansion strategy and the need

Vietnam: Heineken Vietnam Brewery pays $39.7 mln in back taxes and fines for 2018 transaction
|
Heineken Vietnam Brewery has paid VND917.2 billion ($39.7 million) in back taxes and fines for a 2018 transaction, VnExpress International reported on January 13.
Singapore-based Heineken Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. had, at the end of 2018, struck a deal valued at over VND4.8 trillion ($207.7 million) with the Heineken Vietnam Brewery. Under the deal, the Singaporean firm transferred its entire stake in its Vietnamese subsidiary to the latter.
The tax payable on the deal was VND823 billion ($35.6 million), but Heineken Asia Pacific claimed it was exempt from paying it under the double taxation agreement signed by the governments of Vietnam and Singapore.
However, the General Department of Taxation ruled that the tax had to be paid because the real estate value in the deal was over 50 percent of the assets involved in the deal.
The department confirmed that it has received in full the payment of back taxes and fines.
Another major FDI corporation, Coca-Cola Vietnam, has been ordered to pay VND821.4 billion ($35.4 million) in back taxes and penalties stretching back over nine years.
The company, which has been suspected of engaging in transfer pricing fraud to evade taxes, has paid VND471 billion ($20.4 million), or 57.3 percent of the amount, at the

USA: AB InBev to expand facility in Cartersville, Georgia
|
Anheuser-Busch InBev will undertake an $85 million expansion of its Cartersville facility and create 12 new jobs, a state agency announced on January 13.
The Georgia Department of Economic Development announced that the longtime Bartow County community partner will make the investment in its 27-year-old brewery.
The expansion will support the creation of new brewing capabilities at the facility, said Kevin Fahrenkrog, senior general manager of the Anheuser-Busch Cartersville Brewery.
“We are deeply committed to the Cartersville community, which is why we are excited to announce our $85 million plan for expansion,” Fahrenkrog said in a news release.
“The U.S. beer industry is back to growth and over the next three years, we will expand the brewery’s capabilities to brew some of our best-selling brands right here in Georgia.
"Our investment in the Cartersville brewery will create 12 good-paying jobs and reaffirms our strong belief in supporting local manufacturing.”
Cartersville Mayor Matt Santini said Anheuser-Busch "continues to be a source of community pride for a number of reasons."
“This latest expansion is just the latest example of their commitment to bring quality jobs to our community. We are appreciative of their investment and partnership with our city.”

France: France’s south west has highest daily alcohol consumption, study finds
|
People living in the south west of France are among the heaviest drinkers in the country, according to new statistics from the public health authority, The Local France reported on January 14.
The study published by French public health body Santé publique France lists the regions of Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Occitanie in south west France as the regions with the highest daily alcohol consumption.
In Occitanie - which covers cities including Toulouse and Carcassonne - 12.6 percent of adults drink every day, while in Nouvelle-Aquitaine which covers Charente and Dordogne 12.3 percent of adults drink every day.
In third place is the northern Hauts-de-France region, where the people of Nord-Pas-de-Calais and Picardie labour under the stereotype of being hopeless drunks, but where in fact only 11.5 percent of adults drink daily, just over the national average of 10 percent.
Adults in Normandy and Pays-de-la-Loire drink less than the national average while the lowest level of daily drinking in mainland France is the greater Paris Île-de-France region, where only 7.1 percent of adults drink daily.
The overseas French regions of Guadeloupe (6.9 percent), French Guiana (5.2 percent), Martinique (7 percent) and Reunion Island (5.8 percent) have averages that are significantly lower than the average for mainland France.

USA: American Malting Barley Association approves addition of new malting barley varieties to list recommended for 2020
|
The American Malting Barley Association Board of Directors has approved the addition of AAC Connect, LCS Odyssey, Moravian 164 and Moravian 170 to the recommended list of malting barley varieties for 2020, the Post Register reported on January 13.
Idaho is the top state country for barley production.
AMBA is a trade association of brewing, distilling and malting companies and the list is meant to inform US producers on the malting varieties that the industry will be using in the coming year. Not all varieties will be used in large quantities and growers are encouraged to contact their local elevator, grain handler or processor to gauge market demand for any variety grown in their region prior to seeding.
Bill Legge developed AAC Connect at the Brandon Research Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. It is a two-row, spring malting barley variety that was registered in Canada in 2016. It has plump kernels, good resistance to lodging, improved resistance to FHB, and has greater yield than AC Metcalfe and CDC Copeland. The variety is licensed to Canterra Seeds in Canada and distributed in the US by Meridian Seeds.
LCS Odyssey, a spring two-row malting variety, was developed by the Limagrain UK breeding program and is marketed

Kazakhstan & Iran: Kazakh barley exports increase significantly to meet demand from Iran
|
Kazakh exports of barley have grown significantly over the past decade to meet demand from Iran, its primary customer, USDA said in its January report.
Since 2010/11, at least half of Kazakhstan’s barley exports have been destined for Iran, reaching a decadal high of 94 percent of total exports (for a volume of 1.3 million tons) in 2017/18.
Despite this growth, Kazakhstan remains the smallest of the major players in the world’s barley export market, ranking seventh globally for most of the decade. The European Union and Russia are forecast to be the largest exporters of barley in 2019/20, with export volumes totaling two to three times that of Kazakhstan.
As Kazakhstan’s exports have grown, Iran’s balance sheet also shows corresponding growth in barley imports over the same time period. The growth in imports has fueled expansion of Iran’s barley feed use.
The current forecast for Kazakhstan’s 2019/20 barley exports is the highest to date at 1.8 million tons. Although Iran also imports large amounts of barley from Russia and the European Union, in all likelihood, Iran will continue to import a substantial percentage from Kazakhstan.
