0 Vietnam: SABMiller & Vinamilk open a $45 mln brewery

South Africa’s SABMiller, the second largest brewery company in the world by volume, and Vietnam’s top dairy firm Vinamilk formally opened a brewery Monday in Binh Duong Province, Thanhnien News reported March 27.

The listed Vinamilk is the leading producer of dairy products in Vietnam with an overwhelming 75 percent market share of milk and dairy products.

SABMiller was formed in 2002 by the merger of South African Breweries and Miller Brewing and is traded on the London Stock Exchange where it is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index.

The total beer market in Vietnam is estimated to be in excess of 1.5 billion liters a year.

After extensive analysis, the CWB board of directors has concluded that no other marketing option comes close to achieving the value the single desk brings to barley farmers, according to CWB’s newsroom, March 26.

“A plan to transition the CWB completely out of barley may be the only realistic option if the single desk is dismantled,” board chair Ken Ritter said. “Recognizing this, the board has agreed that we must work to secure the single desk for farmers.”

The analysis shows that without a radical transformation of the CWB into a grain company with a complete range of physical assets and a large capital infusion, the CWB could not market barley. Even if this transformation could be accomplished, the CWB’s ability to add extra value for farmers would be small compared to the value of the single desk, independently verified at $59-million a year for barley.

Last week, the CWB’s directors continued their extensive discussions and analysis of the conditions necessary for the government’s stated vision of “a strong and viable” CWB in an open barley market.
