Africa: Diageo fined over anti-competitive practices in African markets
|
Global beverage firm Diageo has agreed to pay $750,000 (Sh96.9 million) to settle a four-year competition investigation by the COMESA Competition Commission (CCC) over alleged restrictive business practices across several East and Southern African markets, Capital Business reported on October 14.
The settlement follows a probe launched in June 2021 into allegations that Diageo’s distribution agreements in Eswatini, Seychelles, Uganda, and Zambia breached Article 16(1) of the COMESA Competition Regulations.
The Commission’s inquiry centered on practices such as market allocation, price fixing, and single-branding restrictions that allegedly limited trade within the regional bloc.
According to the Commission, Diageo’s agreements included clauses restricting distributors from operating beyond allocated territories, as well as provisions against selling to customers who might re-export products.
The investigation also flagged instances of minimum resale price maintenance in Seychelles and Uganda, as well as single-branding obligations in Uganda, which the regulator said constrained competition.
“However, restrictions on passive sales are a very serious offence and would always be considered a breach of the Regulations because they are an affront to the overriding Treaty objective of the single market integration.”
To resolve the case without admitting liability, Diageo entered into commitment negotiations in May 2025, agreeing to remove restrictive clauses within 180 days.

World: Diageo faces investor pay revolt
|
Diageo, the struggling owner of Guinness and Johnnie Walker whisky, is facing an investor backlash next month over nearly £8.5m in stock awards handed to the frontrunner to become its next chief executive, Sky News reported on October 17.
Sky News has learnt that investors in Diageo are being urged to vote against its pay report at its annual meeting in early November because of disquiet over the lack of performance conditions attached to shares awarded to Nik Jhangiani.
Mr Jhangiani joined the company, which also owns Baileys and Smirnoff, as its finance chief just over a year ago.
In July, he was elevated to become interim chief executive following Debra Crew's ousting over the company's lacklustre performance.
Glass Lewis, one of the leading proxy advisers which makes recommendations to institutional shareholders on voting decisions, has called on them to oppose Diageo's pay report because of Mr Jhangiani's recruitment awards.
"Given the significant quantum of the awards, approximately £8.48m, we believe that shareholders may reasonably have expected greater clarification as to the determination of the conditions associated with such awards," Glass Lewis said.
"In the absence of a cogent rationale as to the non-performance-based nature of the majority of awards, we believe this issue precludes shareholder

Luxembourg: Luxembourg's bar owners squeezed by exclusive brewer contracts
|
Faced with exclusive contracts, rent hikes, and the threat of reprisals, bar owners across Luxembourg describe a market dominated by two major breweries, which the competition authority now accuses of restricting competition, RTL Today reported on October 14.
In mid-September, Luxembourg's competition authority publicly accused two major breweries of dominating and restricting the beer market.
While not officially named by the authority, the breweries in question are understood to be Brasserie de Luxembourg (producer of Diekirch) and Brasserie Nationale (producer of Bofferding). They are alleged to use exclusive contracts that compel bars, restaurants, and hotels to purchase and serve primarily their brands.
According to a 2019 report from the competition authority, cited recently by the Luxemburger Wort, these contracts can require establishments to sell at least 80% of a specific brand. They may also set minimum sales quotas and turnover targets, offering discounts or providing equipment like taps and refrigerators in return.
This dynamic was confirmed by multiple bar owners who spoke anonymously to RTL, citing fear of reprisal from the breweries. "The breweries do whatever they want with us, they set the rules, determine the prices for drinks, and dictate what we're allowed to sell", one owner told the Wort. This sentiment aligns

India: Bira 91 reportedly grappling with serious financial and operational challenges
|
India’s craft beer maker Bira 91 is reportedly grappling with serious financial and operational challenges. The company’s latest audit report, combined with mounting employee unrest, highlights deep structural issues that threaten its stability, according to a report by The Economic Times.
The FY24 audit by Walker Chandiok & Co, part of Grant Thornton International, revealed that B9 Beverages, the parent company of Bira 91, faces significant market, credit and liquidity risks. The report noted that the group’s net worth has fully eroded, with liabilities surpassing assets by ₹619.6 crore as of March 31, 2024. Negative cash flows of ₹84 crore and accumulated losses of ₹1,904 crore were also recorded.
The auditors said that these conditions suggest a material uncertainty that could cast doubt on the company’s ability to continue. Despite this, founder Ankur Jain stated that it is not uncommon for growth-stage businesses to have higher current liabilities than current assets, the news report said.
In a related development, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) asked B9 Beverages to ensure timely compliance with regulations, after the company requested an extension for holding its FY25 annual general meeting. The Registrar of Companies granted a three-month extension on September 4. Jain described the MCA

Trinidad and Tobago: Carib Brewery reveals significant increase in prices due to 100% excise duty hike
|
Carib Brewery revealed on October 16 a significant increase in prices of several popular beverages, including Carib, Stag and Guinness, following the government’s 100 per cent hike in excise duties on alcoholic drinks announced in the 2026 budget, the Newsday reported on October 16.
Effective immediately, the company’s new price list shows a suggested retail price of $13 per bottle for Carib, Stag and Pilsner, up from $10-$11 previously.
Stouts such as Royal Extra Stout now retail for $15, while Guinness and Heineken have both moved to $22 per bottle.
Non-alcoholic products Malta and Shandy have increased to $10. There are no price changes for Smirnoff Ice, Caribe Hard Cider, Vitamalt, Ginseng-Up, Smalta, Heineken 0.0, and Rockstone Tonic Wine.
The increases are tied to Legal Notice No 376, which doubled the excise duty on alcoholic beverages from $5.14 to $10.28 per litre.
That change took immediate effect on locally produced alcohol – including Carib Brewery’s products – as excise duties are payable when goods leave bonded warehouses for sale.
Imported products will face similar increases later, pending review by the Solicitor General’s office.
In a statement on the increase, Carib Brewery said the adjustment was a "responsible and measured response" to the government’s move.

UK: Asahi ditches Peroni Nastro Azzurro Stile Capri just two years after launch
|
Peroni has ditched a much-loved lager just two years after launch - even though customers say it’s the “perfect summer” beer, The Sun reported on October 13.
Beverage giant Asahi UK unveiled the Peroni Nastro Azzurro Stile Capri in March 2023 to entice younger customers.
But sales weren't as high as hoped - so company bosses have made the "difficult decision" to axe the bubbly beverage.
Yet many shoppers love the product - gushing over its “refreshing lemon citrus zing” and “high quality”.
One reviewer wrote on Tesco: “I bought these for my grandson, we don't drink lager but he tells me that he enjoyed them with his pals.
"He said they tasted lemony and were very refreshing.”
Drinkers particularly appreciated having a lighter 4.2% ABV alternative to the standard 5.1% Azzuro product.
“Very light with a touch of sweetness and only a hint of bitterness," someone wrote.
"Perfect for those that are not usually into drinking beer.”
The Stile Capri, brewed in and imported from Peroni’s native Italy, featured a classy clear bottle.
Industry experts believed it would fight Corona — AB InBev’s popular Mexican-style lager — for popularity and shelf space.
Asahi pumped plenty of cash into the Capri Stile.
There was a massive £3million investment at launch, then a

Australia: Western Australia’s grain harvest could smash record set three years ago
|
Western Australia’s grain harvest could smash the record set three years ago with a big crop planted and a boom in barley-growing, The Countryman reported on October 17.
The latest industry forecast estimates the State’s farmers could harvest 25.4 million tonnes of grain between now and February, challenging the 26Mt record set in 2022.
The forecast, released by the Grain Industry Association of WA, was up 2Mt on last month’s estimate and comes as harvest kicks off in the Esperance area.
It will be the fourth time in five years WA grain farmers have harvested a crop bigger than 20Mt, after breaking through what many thought was an unachievable barrier in 2021.
Driving this year’s bumper harvest is the additional 500,000ha of crop planted compared to three years ago, as farmers continue to prioritise cropping over sheep.
GIWA crop report author Michael Lamond, an agronomist at York, said the amount of land cropped in WA has increased by about 15 per cent in the past four years, partially driven by the Albanese Government’s plan to ban live sheep exports.
There has also been a boost in the amount of barley planted this year, with many farmers dropping canola in favour of barley, which yields about
