Bolivia: Beer industry facing brewing concerns over new government measure
|
A recent government measure has sparked alarm and discontent among producers and entrepreneurs in Bolivia’s beer industry. Although the specifics of this measure are not detailed in the provided content, the implication suggests a significant negative impact on the sector, potentially affecting beer production, marketing, or regulation in the country, bnnbreaking.com reported on December 22.
This development has prompted those involved in the industry to express concern, indicating that there could be adverse consequences for businesses, employees, and beer consumers. The industry’s reaction suggests that the measure might have been unexpected or its effects not fully evaluated before implementation.
The unrest in the sector underscores the importance of beer in the local economy and the role it plays in employment and leisure. The news highlights the need for a dialogue between the government and representatives of the beer industry to address concerns and seek solutions benefiting both sides and consumers.
In a related context, tax evasion due to illegal alcoholic beverages in Bolivia reaches $380 million per year, equating to 20% of the country’s total alcohol market. This situation directly affects the national industry, as 75% of this market consists of smuggled merchandise. According to a study, the money lost by the state

Brazil: Billionaire Marcel Telles hands stake in AB InBev to son as part of succession plannning
|
Marcel Telles, the billionaire Brazilian investor who cofounded buyout firm 3G Capital Inc., donated his stake in brewer Anheuser-Busch InBev SA to his son Max in a major step toward succession planning, Bloomberg reported on December 26.
Telles’ stake in AB InBev, which he helped build through a series of deals with his partners Jorge Paulo Lemann and Carlos Sicupira, is worth about $6.1 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
He’ll transfer the entirety of the stake to Max, who will also replace him at the entity that controls the investment, according to a filing on December 26 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Telles, 73, is the youngest of the billionaire trio and the one who spent the most time working at brewers during their partnership that stretches back to the 1970s. He ran Brazil’s Brahma after it was acquired by their former investment bank Garantia in the late 1980s and then helped create Ambev in 1999. AB InBev, maker of Budweiser, Stella Artois and Michelob Ultra, was formed in 2008 after mergers with Belgium’s Interbrew and Anheuser-Busch.
Telles’ net worth has gained 9% this year to $10.7 billion, according to Bloomberg’s wealth index.
He has already transferred some of

Russia: Russia's Baltika asks Kremlin to protect its trademarks abroad
|
Russia’s leading brewer Baltika has asked Russia to help protect its brands in what Moscow calls "friendly" countries, the Vedomosti daily reported on December 29, amid a battle with Danish brewer Carlsberg over the right to use a number of trademarks.
A Russian court found in December that Baltika, Russia's second-largest brewer, could continue to use Carlsberg brands even though the Danish brewer has been stripped of control of the firm and revoked Baltika's licences.
Baltika's first vice president, Alexander Dedegkaev, told Kremlin chief of staff, Anton Vaino, in a letter that the right to use a series of major brands had been transferred to Carlsberg improperly in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Vedomosti reported, citing the letter.
Dedegkaev therefore requested that Vaino, one of the most powerful men in the Kremlin, ask the patent offices of CIS countries and Turkmenistan and Mongolia to suspend the registration of license agreements for the use of the brands, Vedomosti reported.
Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the temporary seizure of Carlsberg's stake in Baltika in July, along with French yoghurt maker Danone's Russian subsidiary.

South Korea: Major brewer Hite Jinro to target young whisky lovers in 2024
|
Major brewer Hite Jinro targets young South Korean consumers in their 20s and 30s with lineups such as whisky and spirits. The beverage company has recently become the importer and distributor of Cutty Sark, a popular brand of blended Scotch whisky, to maintain its position as the top player in South Korea's alcoholic beverage market estimated to exceed one billion trillion won ($7.7 billion) in 2023, Aju Korea Daily reported on December 29.
According to the state customs office, a total of 26,937 tons of whisky liquor was imported between January and October 2023. The customs office predicted that the total annual whisky import volume for this year will exceed 30,000 tons for the first time. The number of spirit enthusiasts has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic when people grounded by the government's social distancing regulations chose to spend more money to drink spirits and liquors at home than to drink cheap beer and Soju, traditional Korean liquor.
Whisky, which is more expensive compared to beer and Soju, was regarded as luxury goods in South Korea. The foreign spirit was normally served to important guests or was mainly consumed by people in their 40s and 50s who visit luxury bars
