Zimbabwe: Zimbabwe’s Delta Corporation sees increase in beer and soft drinks volumes in Q4 2025
|
A stronger rand and firm mineral commodity prices drove up beer and soft drinks volumes for Zimbabwe’s Delta Corporation during the quarter to December while also boosting sales for African Distillers (Afdis), in which South Africa’s Distell has an interest, the Business Report said on February 11.
Prices for gold and PGMs - which are key commodities produced in Zimbabwe - prices have appreciated over the past few months, boosting consumption patterns and economic activity in regional countries.
Delta Corporation brews alcoholic products in Zimbabwe, South Africa and Zambia and also manufacturers soft drinks and ready to drink cordials. It said this week that consumer spending during the quarter to December and which encompasses the festive season was firm.
This has been attributed to “firm mineral prices, increased mining activity, and improved agricultural” performance.
“Diaspora remittances also increased, benefiting from stronger cross exchange rates in key source markets such as South Africa (rand) and the United Kingdom (pound),” said Faith Musinga, company secretary for Delta Corporation.
More than 85% of the company’s sales during the period were mainly in US Dollars. The stability of trading currencies enabled the business “to fully reinstate customary festive season trade, consumer promotions, and marketing activities, leveraging the prevailing stable

Japan: Asahi’s January beer sales fall 11% on lingering impact of last year's cyberattack
|
Asahi Group Holdings Ltd. said on February 12 that its sales of beer and beer-like beverages in January fell 11 percent on a value basis from a year earlier on the lingering impact of a system failure caused by a cyberattack last year.
Although the Japanese beverage giant has resumed its online order-taking system, shipments of all products have yet to restart, the company said.
Other than alcoholic beverages, sales volume at Asahi Soft Drinks Co., which deals with soft drinks including "Mitsuya Cider" carbonated drink, dropped 16 percent.
Estimated sales at Asahi Group Foods Ltd., which handles food items and powdered milk, were slightly higher than the previous year.
Asahi Group Holdings said its logistics operations have largely returned to normal this month, recovering to pre-September cyberattack levels. Shipments of all products have resumed at Asahi Soft Drinks and Asahi Group Foods, while full shipments at Asahi Breweries Ltd. are expected to restart in April.
Among Japan's three major brewers excluding Asahi - Kirin Brewery Co., Sapporo Breweries Ltd. and Suntory Spirits Ltd. - Kirin and Sapporo reported increased sales of beer and beer-like beverages, indicating alternative demand for Asahi products.
Kirin's sales increased by 8 percent in value, driven by robust demand for its

Ukraine: Carlsberg Ukraine installs own generators to operate during power outages
|
Carlsberg Ukraine’s Kyiv plant has installed 1.5 MW diesel generator and cogeneration units (DGU, CGU) to ensure a stable power supply and plans to install a 500 kW solar power plant and a 5 MW power storage facility with a capacity of 10 MWh by the end of the year, according to Roman Sapiga, head of the plant’s automation and electrical engineering group, Ukraine Open for Business reported.
“Our enterprise must operate without interruption, so the uninterrupted operation of our power generation facilities is extremely important to us. We chose a 1.5 MW diesel generator and a 1.5 MW gas generator… They work together in an ‘island’ mode and are connected to each other,” he said at the EnergoTech-2026 conference, which took place recently in Kyiv.
Sapiga noted that generation is controlled by a special program, which is constantly being improved.
“Sitting at our workstations, we can see almost all elements of the generation system and can start them up. It is necessary to manage them correctly. Every time we encountered a problem, a new automatic solution appeared,” shared the representative of Carlsberg Ukraine.
According to him, the company also imports electricity, and the management program allows it to track consumption so as not

USA: Constellation Brands appoints Nicholas Fink as CEO
|
Constellation Brands said on February 12 it appointed Nicholas Fink as its top boss, replacing Bill Newlands, as the beermaker battles demand pressures, Reuters reported.
Fink, who was previously the CEO at the security and digital products firm Fortune Brands Innovations, will take over as the top boss of the Modelo beer maker on April 13. He had served on Constellation's board for the past five years.
Newlands, who joined the company in 2015 and has been at the helm since 2019, will step down from the board in April, but will continue to serve as a strategic adviser over the next several months to help ensure a smooth transition of leadership, Constellation said.
Constellation has been battling weak alcohol sales as Hispanic consumers pull back on purchases amid the Trump administration's crackdown on immigration and a broader economic uncertainty driven by volatile trade policies and rising living costs.
"Given Fink's experience on the board, we do not expect this transition to lead to a major change in strategic direction," TD Cowen analyst Robert Moskow said in a note, but added that Fink had been linked to significant organization and portfolio change at Fortune Brands.

China: Chinese buyers ramp up purchases of Australian barley and U.S. sorghum
|
Chinese buyers have ramped up feed grain purchases in recent months, taking large volumes of Australian barley and U.S. sorghum after rain damaged the domestic corn harvest, Reuters reported on February 12 citing trade sources.
Importers have booked about 45 cargoes, or at least 2.5 million metric tons, of U.S. sorghum over the past three months, according to two Asian traders familiar with the deals, or three times the quantity shipped in all of 2025.
Chinese buyers have also been taking one million tons of Australian barley a month since December, around double last year’s monthly volumes, said three traders involved in some of the transactions.
“These sales have been driven by very high corn prices in China and competitive prices in Australia,” said one grains trader, who expects continued Chinese demand for barley and sorghum in coming months.
All the sources declined to be identified as they were not authorised to speak to the media.
By January 29, data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture shows, 1.6 million tons of U.S. sorghum had been sold to China since early November, with 1.259 million tons headed for destinations categorised as “unknown”.
Most of such sorghum is headed for China, said one of the traders with knowledge

UK & US: Scotch whisky exports hit by US tariffs
|
New figures from the Scotch Whisky Association show US shipments sliding sharply after tariffs returned, with producers warning that rising domestic costs and global trade pressures are pushing the industry to breaking point, The Drinks Business reported on February 12.
Scotch whisky exports to the United States have fallen significantly since tariffs were reintroduced, with shipment volumes down 15% between May and December 2025, according to fresh data from the Scotch Whisky Association (SWA).
The figures, released as part of the SWA’s annual export report, show the impact of a 10% tariff imposed in April 2025 across all Scotch whisky categories. The US remains the industry’s most valuable export market, but exports are now lower both in value and volume compared with the previous year.
Globally, Scotch whisky exports fell by 0.6% in value in 2025 to £5.36bn, while volumes dropped by 4.3% to the equivalent of 1.3bn 70cl bottles, or 43 bottles per second.
This compares with exports of £5.4bn in 2024. The SWA attributed the decline to a combination of international tariffs, higher costs of doing business in the UK and softer consumer demand across key markets.
Full-year exports to the US declined by 4% in value to £933m in 2025, while volumes
