India: United Breweries aiming at 25-30% growth in premium segment every quarter
|
United Breweries Limited (UBL), the Bengaluru-headquartered beer maker, is looking to clock in 25-30 per cent growth in its premium segment every quarter, according to Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Vivek Gupta, Business Standard reported on September 5.
“Premiumisation is a key strategy for us. As we expand our offerings and portfolio, we are investing significantly in this segment…Naturally, there may be occasional challenges, as seen this quarter when prolonged heavy rains impacted the beer industry,” Gupta told Business Standard.
Moreover, while the Heineken subsidiary expects the beer industry to grow 6–7 per cent annually, it is aiming to outperform the market with double-digit volume growth each year. “To support this, we are expanding capacity to meet rising market demand,” Gupta said.
In the premium segment, the beer maker said it is sharpening its portfolio by focusing on select brands. While its mainstream labels — Kingfisher and Kingfisher Premium — remain core, the company is confident on its premium lineup with Ultra, Ultra Max, and international brands like Heineken and Amstel. At the same time, it continues to cater to the economy segment through brands such as Bullet, London Pilsner, and Kalyani Black Label, which are being scaled across

Nigeria: International Breweries commits to increasing local input sourcing
|
International Breweries Plc (IBPLC), a proud part of AB InBev – the world’s largest brewer, has restated its commitment to increase the use of locally sourced raw materials in its production processes, Punch Newspapers reported on September 4.
This will help reduce the brewer’s FX exposure, positively impact the local economy, support farmers and suppliers and enhance the company’s sustainability efforts.
Carlos Coutiño, managing director of International Breweries Plc, who made this known at a recent symposium tagged ‘Cheers to Farmers,’ highlighted the crucial role farmers play in the brewing process and Nigeria’s economy.
“Our beer is only as good as the people who grow what we brew. At International Breweries, we believe in brewing a better world and that starts with our growers,” he said.
He noted that the event is about recognising farmers’ contribution and, more importantly, “it’s about strengthening a partnership that is building rural economies and transforming lives.”
Jumoke Oduwole, minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, in her goodwill message, commended IBPLC’s leadership in advancing Nigeria’s backward integration policy through increased local sourcing, agro-industrial partnerships, and MSME support.
Oduwole, who was represented by Samaila Dauda, from the federal ministry, said the event is “a powerful reminder of the crucial link between industry

Brazil: Heineken tirples capacity of its Igarussu brewery
|
The Heineken Group inaugurated new production lines at its Igarassu brewery with a €200 million investment for its expansion, tripling the plant's production capacity, primarily for the production of the Amstel and Devassa brands, in addition to strengthening its commitment to sustainability in the production process, FreshlyBottled.com reported on September 2.
The Igarassu plant is strategic for supplying key markets in the Northeast, such as the states of Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Norte, Ceará, Bahia, Alagoas, Paraíba, and Sergipe. The Heineken Group is present in more than 90 percent of the most important points of sale in Pernambuco, making the state the company's second-largest market in Northeast Brazil, with solid growth for brands such as Heineken and Amstel.
With this expansion, the brewery consolidates its position as the largest Amstel producer in the region, following the brand's double-digit growth in the first half of this year.
"Consolidating an investment of this magnitude not only strengthens the presence of our core portfolio in the region, but also reinforces our commitment to the sustainability agenda and local economic development," says Mauro Homem, Vice President of the Heineken Group.

Cyprus: Beer sales go flat in August
|
Beer sales in Cyprus went flat in August, with total deliveries down 5.1% compared to the same month last year, according to official data released on September 5.
The Statistical Service said deliveries from local breweries dropped to 4.5 million liters in August 2025, down from nearly 4.93 million liters a year earlier. Domestic consumption fell 7.2%, while exports slumped by a steep 35.9%.
Month to month, the picture wasn’t much brighter: compared with July, beer deliveries plunged 13.7%, a loss of more than 721,000 liters.
The numbers suggest that Cyprus’ beer market is cooling after the summer peak, with fewer pints poured both at home and abroad.

Canada & USA: Massive US corn crop pressuring Canadian feed barley prices
|
A massive U.S. corn crop is pressuring Canadian feed barley prices, Sasktoday reported on September 3.
Farmers south of the 49th parallel are projected to harvest a record 425.26 million tonnes of the cereal grain, which would be 35.6 million tonnes larger than the previous record of 389.67 million tonnes set in 2023-24.
The USDA’s latest production estimate temporarily pushed December corn futures below US$4 per bushel.
That bloated U.S. corn crop is pressuring feed barley prices in Western Canada, which are down about 20 per cent from their summer highs.
“With the massive amount of corn that is available to come up north, it definitely keeps a cap on all the other commodities,” said Lukas Biensch, senior manager of commercial grain with Johnston’s Grain.
The United States is forecast to export a record 73 million tonnes of corn, and some of that will be headed to Canada.
The U.S. typically ships about 1.5 to two million tonnes of corn to Canada, but some years it can be a lot more than that.
For instance, in 2021-22 it exported six million tonnes due to the combination of a short Canadian barley crop and an abundance of U.S. corn.
Biensch has seen one trade forecast calling for 2.4 million

UK: Beer price hikes possible as warmest summer on record hit UK’s hop crop
|
Hop picking season has started at UK farms - amid fears the warmest summer on record has caused a national shortage and could lead to beer price surges, the Daily Mail reported on September 4.
Farmer and hop grower Tom Spilsbury says his yields are down by between 50 to 60 per cent at Orleton Court Farm, Worcestershire, following the dry summer months.
The local craft beer producer runs Spilsbury and Jones Brewing Company which makes speciality ales from the hops grown just metres away.
But he says the hot weather had led to yields of Challenger and Fuggles hops being down which had proved 'exceedingly challenging' to his business.
There are now fears of a UK-wide shortage.
Some major brewers have already increased their prices in response to rising taxes and wage costs which came into place in April.
Tom said: 'We're a working hop farm and small micro-brewery.
'2025 farming wise has been exceedingly challenging after this summer, which has been the hottest or driest on record.
'We had a very wet winter that doesn't do the roots any good at all, really damages the root system, that was really tough going.
'Then we went into one of the hottest summers on record. The hops struggled for

Brazil: Petrópolis Group promotes hop growing in Brazil
|
Brazil is not traditionally a hop-producing country, as the crop requires cooler climatic conditions like those in the United States and Germany, which together account for more than 70 percent of global production. Despite this, the Petrópolis Group decided to take the first step in Rio de Janeiro with the experimental planting of 400 seedlings of 10 different varieties to test their adaptability, FreshlyBottled.com reported on September 2.
The first harvests showed that some species thrived, and the technical team began selecting varieties with greater adaptability to Brazilian soil and climate.
The natural evolution of the project led to its expansion to Uberaba, Minas Gerais, in 2023, where 6,000 seedlings of the Comet and Cascade varieties were planted on two hectares. The company has cultivation areas in the regions of Teresópolis, Rio de Janeiro, and Uberaba. According to data from the Brazilian Association of Producers (Aprolúpulo), Minas Gerais has the largest cultivated area, while Rio de Janeiro was the state with the fastest growth.
