UK: Planned increase in duty on beer and spirits scrapped in 2020 Budget
|
UK’s Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak has offered a cocktail of measures to boost the spirits of pubs and drinkers affected by coronavirus and economic uncertainty, BBC reported on March 11.
The chancellor scrapped a planned increase in duty on beer and spirits, while tax on all other kinds of alcoholic drinks will also be frozen.
The small pub business rates discount will increase from £1,000 to £5,000.
But the measures are a "double penalty'" for those worst-affected by alcohol harm, charities say.
The 2020 Budget has offered an unexpected windfall for the alcohol industry, including tax breaks and cash giveaways.
The business rate discount for small pubs - those with a rateable value of less than £100,000 - will be increased from £1,000 to £5,000, partly because of the "possible impact of coronavirus".
Planned tax rises on beer and spirits were also scrapped, as part of a freezing on duty across all alcoholic drinks. This Budget marks only the second time that has happened in 20 years, the chancellor said.
The British Beer and Pub Association described it as "a great Budget for pubs, pub-goers and Britain's world-class brewing industry".
The association says the chancellor's measures will save pub-goers £80m and safeguard 2,000 jobs.

USA: Craft Brewers Conference cancelled due to coronavirus spread
|
After much speculation, the 2020 Craft Brewers Conference & BrewExpo America has officially been canceled due to concerns over the spread of a novel coronavirus disease, called COVID-19, Forbes reported on March 12.
The annual event, which brings together roughly 13,000 beer industry professionals from across the world and is hosted by the U.S. Brewers Association, was scheduled to take place in San Antonio, Texas from April 19-22.
“Developments over the past 24 hours have made hosting this year’s conference infeasible,” the trade group announced via its website.
The decision to forgo the convention — which was first reported by beer industry trade publication Brewbound — came one day after the National Beer Wholesalers Association (NBWA) called off its Legislative Conference, which was scheduled to kick off in Washington D.C. at the end of the month.
“Developments over the past several days, including exposure and self-quarantine of members of Congress, meeting cancellations and travel restrictions, flight reductions and guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and other health agencies, have made hosting this year’s conference a significant challenge,” NBWA chief executive Craig Purser wrote in a note to members yesterday.
Both groups have offered refunds to individuals who were planning to attend. The

France: Farmers make little progress in spring barley sowing because of heavy rains
|
French farmers again made little progress in spring barley sowing last week, data from farm office FranceAgriMer showed, as heavy rain continued to drench fields in the European Union's biggest grain producer, Successful Farming reported on March 13.
Spring barley sowing was 34% complete by Monday, March 9, up only marginally from 33% a week earlier and 32% two weeks ago, FranceAgriMer's cereal crop data showed.
The sowing progress in the latest week was well below the 96% seen in the same week last year and also behind the average pace of the past five years.
Drilling of spring barley, the first major cereal crop to be sown in France at the end of winter, got off to a brisk start in late January, helped by unseasonably mild temperatures.
Frequent showers in February, with parts of northern France seeing record rainfall for the month, then waterlogged some fields that were still soggy after torrential rain in autumn.
The rain prompted France's meteorological office to issue flood warnings for some river zones this week while in Paris the Seine spilled onto quaysides.
Rain has now eased in much of France and drier conditions are forecast for coming days, although FranceAgriMer officials said this week it may be

USA: Minnesota’s largest hop farm and processor up for sale
|
Mighty Axe Hops, Minnesota’s largest hop farm and processor, is up for sale as the result of a storm that devastated the hop farm’s 2019 crop, The Growler reported on March 9.
Late in the evening on Labor Day in 2019, roughly halfway through their harvest season, Mighty Axe’s hopyard in Foley, Minnesota, was hit by 55-mph straight-line winds that snapped hundreds of support poles and grounded 12 acres of hops. The winds were particularly damaging to the farm’s highest-yielding hops, whose thick and heavy cones were just days away from harvest. Acting quickly with the help of a team of volunteers, Mighty Axe was able to salvage a small portion of their downed crop, but as CEO Eric Sannerud ran the numbers in the wake of the storm, a bleaker picture started to emerge. Mighty Axe had lost hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of their crop, creating a shortfall in revenue so severe that it will prevent them from growing hops in 2020 without additional funding.
Mighty Axe’s majority stakeholders initially informed Sannerud, who is a minority stakeholder in the company, that he should begin looking for other funding sources in December before officially confirming with him their intent to

UK: Scotch Whisky Association welcomes duty freeze in new budget
|
The Scotch Whisky Association has welcomed the continued freeze on spirits announced in Chancellor Rishi Sunak’s Budget on March 11, the Scottish Field reported.
They were also pleased by the additional support for the industry through a green energy fund, while the industry continues to face a 25% tariff imposed on single malt by the US government under a transatlantic trade dispute between aircraft manufacturers.
The duty rate on spirits remains £28.74 per litre of pure alcohol, meaning that of the £14.61 average price of a bottle of Scotch Whisky, £10.49 is collected in taxation through duty and VAT. The tax burden on Scotch whisky remains 72%.
A 25% tariff on exports of single malt Scotch whisky and liqueurs to the United States has been in place since October 2019, and the SWA had called on the Chancellor to cut duty on Scotch whisky to help support the industry during a challenging time.
As well as freezing duty, the Chancellor announced a £10 mln R&D fund to help the industry achieve its net-zero ambitions and additional support to promote Scotland’s food and drink exports, including Scotch whisky.
In addition, the review of alcohol taxation, announced in the Queen’s Speech, will pave the way for fairer
