Vietnam: Country’s two biggest breweries to be equalized next year

Vietnam's two breweries will complete their equalization plans and then make initial public offerings (IPOs) in the first quarter of next year, local newspaper Vietnam Investment Review reported, according to Xinhua, December 17.

The Saigon Brewery Corporation (Sabeco) would not choose a foreign strategic partner for its IPO, but the Hanoi Brewery Corporation (Habeco) would, said deputy minister of Industry and Trade Bui Xuan Khu.

He said Carlsberg was chosen as Habeco's foreign strategic investor, and would come in for a 10-percent stake in the northern beer maker. Meanwhile, Sabeco will sell off 20 percent of its chartered capital at its IPO.

Sabeco, Vietnam's biggest brewery, has a chartered capital of 6.4 trillion Vietnamese dong (VND) (400 million U.S. dollars), and Habeco 2.3 trillion VND (nearly 143.8 million dollars). This year, Sabeco is estimated to make total revenues of over eight trillion VND (500 million dollars), and Habeco nearly 2.5 trillion VND (some 156 million dollars).

Vietnam is estimated to consume over two billion liters of beer and alcohol in 2010, up from 1.7 billion liters in 2007, the newspaper said.

The process of vertical coordination and its consequences within the beer commodity chain

Vertikalni koordinace a jeji projevy v komoditní vertikale piva E. VESELSKA Mendel University of Agriculture and Forestry, Brno, Czech Republic

Abstract
The paper aims to identify the potential benefits from vertical coordination within the selected commodity chain. The problem is applied to the beer commodity chain because of its high importance in the Czech agri business and foreign trade. On the basis of the vertical analysis of the chosen commodity chain, a mathematic model of consumer price simulation is created and the existence of vertical coordination is verified in the analysed commodity chain. This model assumesthat input price increases are transmitted to consumers. The retail prices of beer a resimulated by holding technology and input-output relationships constant, while production as well as marketing costs change according to the changes in input prices. The simulated retail price is then compared with the actual retail price to indicate productivity gains resulting from vertical coordination passed on to consumers. The result sof the Model of Retail Price Simulation showt hat Czech brewery industry was in the observed period (1994–2002) vertically coordinated. Key words: retail price simulation, vertical coordination, agri-food chain and beer
