SABMiller marketing Chibuku ‘African beer’ to the rest of Africa
IN SUMMARY

Chibuku, an opaque beer based on a traditional African recipe using maize and or sorghum, depending on local taste, is aimed at tapping into the growing lower-income consumer base.
SABMiller has invested $16 million over the last 18 months in the brand.
SABMiller is currently setting up an $80 million plant in Mbarara district, western Uganda. The new plant will produce upto 360 hectolitres of Chibuku by 2013.
SABMiller has taken its African beer brand, Chibuku, to 10 African countries across the continent.

Chibuku, an opaque beer based on a traditional African recipe using maize and or sorghum, depending on local taste, is aimed at tapping into the growing lower-income consumer base.

“The expansion of our Chibuku operations illustrates how we are driving our affordability strategy, product innovation and maintaining momentum behind our ‘Farming Better Futures’ programme through this continued investment,” Mark Bowman, managing director of SABMiller Africa, said in a statement last week.

He said the company has been investing heavily in growing capacity and staying ahead of the demand across Africa. SABMiller has invested $16 million over the last 18 months in the brand.

The new countries already in commercial production are: Ghana, Mozambique, Swaziland and Tanzania. Botswana, Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe produced the initial beer in 2011.

A pilot scheme for the beer brand has also been launched in Lesotho with commercial sales expected in the next few months.

SABMiller, which operates under the flagship of Nile Breweries in Uganda, is currently setting up an $80 million plant in Mbarara district, western Uganda. The new plant will produce upto 360 hectolitres of Chibuku by 2013.

SABMiller sourced maize and sorghum from around 40,000 smallholder farmers across Africa in the year ending March 2012 to kickstart the process.

To consolidate the market share from its rivals — Uganda Breweries Ltd and Parambot Breweries — SABMiller last year started encouraging farmers in Uganda to grow barley.

The company provided farm inputs to the farmers who would later on sell the produce to the beer maker.

SABMiller, the world’s second largest brewer with distribution agreements across 75 countries on six continents, currently commands the largest market share in Uganda.

Last year, SABMiller reported $5,634 million earnings before interest, taxes and amortisation and group revenue of $31,388 million.

SABMiller Misses Estimates in Growth Markets as Europe Gains
By Clementine Fletcher - Oct 18, 2012
SABMiller Plc (SAB), the world’s second- biggest brewer, reported sales in the growth markets of Latin America and Africa that missed analysts’ estimates, taking the shine off an improved performance in Europe.

Organic lager volume rose 4 percent in the six months through Sept. 30, the London-based company said today in a statement. That compared with the median estimate of 10 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg for a 4.4 percent increase. Growth slowed from a 5 percent increase in the first quarter.

Gains of 4 percent in Latin America and 6 percent in Africa were below median estimates of 5.5 percent and 8.5 percent, respectively. In Europe, volume increased 9 percent, outpacing the 6 percent median estimate, as price cuts and demand for economy brews fueled demand among cash-strapped consumers.

Latin America is the largest region for sales and profitability at SABMiller, which is among brewers seeking to expand in emerging markets as economies slow elsewhere. Sales in the region were held back by a more “modest pace” of economic growth in the second quarter and weaker consumer sentiment, the company said. In the African unit, which excludes South Africa, a tax increase in Tanzania restrained growth, it said.

SABMiller fell as much as 1.3 percent in early London trading and was down 1.2 percent at 2,621.5 pence at 8:13 a.m.

MillerCoors

“Overall, financial performance for the half year was in line with our expectations,” SABMiller said.

Sales to retailers at MillerCoors LLC, the company’s U.S. joint venture with Molson Coors Brewing Co., slid 1.9 percent as cheaper beer varieties and its Miller Lite brand declined.

SABMiller, which bought Foster’s Group Ltd. last year for about A$10.5 billion ($10.9 billion) to take control of about half the Australian beer market, said volume slid 13 percent in the region. The figure included the impact of the loss of two business days and the termination of some licensed brand sales.

Excluding Foster’s, Asian volume rose 5 percent, the company said, missing the 7 percent estimated by analysts.

South African lager volume rose 1 percent, meeting estimates. The company, which competes with Diageo Plc and Heineken NV in the country, continued to gain market share, it said, aided by its Castle Lite brand.

Group revenue grew 8 percent in the first half, excluding the effects of currency fluctuations and acquisitions.

Rock City Marathon gets bigger, goes international
By In2EastAfrica Reporter


Nine countries are expected to participate in this year’s 21-kilometre race in the Rock City Marathon 2012 to be held at CCM Kirumba Stadium in Mwanza on October 28, this year. The marathon Coordinator Grace Sanga from Capital-Plus International (CPI), the organizer of the annual marathon said that invitations have been extended to runners from East Africa and other western countries in coordination with their embassies in the country.

She listed the countries as Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and other western countries as Australia, India, Canada and United States where she added that they hope to have an increased number of runners for this year’s marathon whose package has been greatly improved.

“Stakeholders in sports are happy that invitations have been sent out to neighbouring countries, asking for their participation in this year’s marathon. We expect to have more foreign participants compared to previous years when we could have just a few people.

This exhibits yearly growth of the marathon and also proves that the competition will be tight,” said Grace. This annual race which is organized by CPI, an integrated communications firm and sanctioned by the Athletics Tanzania (AT) is grouped into five categories where the main race will cover 21 kilometres for both men and women.

She mentioned other races as a five-kilometre corporate classic race, a threekilometre race for people who are physically impaired, a three kilometre race for elderly (55years plus) and a two-km for children (7-10). Grace said that the event which has proved to be a big success since it was initiated in 2009, aims to promote the domestic tourism concept through sports.

“Mwanza is rich in tourist attraction sites and we intend to see this year’s marathon highlighting Mwanza’s potential in tourism. The half marathon will start at the CCM Kirumba Stadium, taking different routes and back to the stadium for the final lap,” she said.

Official sponsors for this year’s event are National Social Security Fund (NSSF), Airtel Tanzania, Geita Gold Mine, Air Tanzania Company Limited, Parastatal Pensions Fund (PPF), African Barrick Gold, New Africa Hotel, Nyanza Bottles, New Mwanza Hotel, Tanzania National Parks Authority (TANAPA) and the Tanzania Tourist Board (TTB).

Grace added that this year’s rock city marathon participants and fans will also get the chance to witness Juma Nature a.k.a Sir Nature and his group performing live during the breathtaking event. Registration fees raised from participants in these races will be channeled to supporting people who are physically impaired in Mwanza.

Rick Ross packs up TZ concert
Posted on October 8th, 2012 by CAPITAL LIFESTYLE



Rick Ross was definitely ‘The Boss’ when he performed in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania on Saturday night to a very packed audience.

Wearing a black tee-shirt and blue jeans and flanked by several hype men, Ross put on a subdued but engaging show.

The Leaders Club was completely full and other than the bouncers having a tough time pushing back the crowd, and some reports of pick-pocketing, everything seemed to go according to plan.

Ross was performing at the Serengeti Fiesta, a culmination of a musical extravaganza in 11 towns across the East African country.

Bongo 5 posted a video of part of his performance…




Hundreds attended the event, which Rick Ross graced well after midnight, and performed for just over half an hour.

On his way out of Dar Es Salaam, the ‘Boss’ gave a shout out to Tanzania on his twitter page, to his 2.5 million followers.

TBL wins brewers’ legal wrangle
BY IN2EASTAFRICA REPORTER ON DECEMBER 7, 2012
Tanzania’s largest brewery firm, Tanzania Breweries Limited (TBL), has won the case involving 25bn/- payments against Serengeti Breweries Limited in a landmark judgment delivered by the Fair Competition Tribunal (FCT) on Thursday.


Tanzania Breweries Limited (TBL)

In 2010, the Fair Competition Commission slapped on TBL a heavy fine of five per cent of its turnover which amounted to about 25bn/- for engaging in ‘’anti-competitive behaviour against its bitter rivals, Serengeti Breweries’’.

TBL appealed against the decision by Fair Competition Commission (FCC) on the matter through its counsel, Dr Ringo Tenga of Law Associations, and Mr Fayaz Bhojan of FB Attorneys.

The two lawyers had raised one of the grounds of appeal that when hearing the anti-competitive behaviour by TBL, the FCC was not properly constituted as the Chairman, Mr Nikubuka Shimwela, was not properly appointed as its chairman.

TBL argued that the chairman had been appointed by the Minister for Industries and not by the President as per the requirements of the Fair Competition Act and hence any decision made by the Chairman was a nullity and should be dismissed.

Lawyers for the company had also argued that similarly, the Director General, at the time of the FCC, Mr Geoffrey Mkucha, had not properly been appointed. Judge Razia Sheikh, sitting with two members of the FCT, Prof Kironde and Prof Bundala, agreed with TBL arguments and stated that since the FCC was not properly constituted at the time of hearing the case, the decision to fine TBL five per cent of its turnover was inappropriate and, thus, quashed the decision.

The decision appears as a sign of relief for TBL, which was likely going to be forced to pay the 25bn/- had the appeal swayed the other way. TBL is owned by thousands of Tanzanians and is a good performer at the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange. TBL is part of SAB Miller, one of the world’s leading brewers with more than 200 beer brands and some 70,000 employees in over 75 countries.

EA ripe for new investments in beer market, says report

At about 9.2 litres per person, beer consumption in Kenya is still some way off the global average of 35 litres per person. Photo File

IN SUMMARY
The region’s recent discoveries of oil in Uganda, Madagascar, natural gas in Tanzania and bright prospects of oil in Kenya and Rwanda will expand the consumer base and the average East Africans consumption.
The low levels of beer consumption in eastern Africa makes the market a prime investment destination, a newly-released industry report has said. According to the report by investment banker Imara, the average beer consumer in these markets takes less than their counterparts in western and southern Africa.

The report titled "SSA Breweries Sector Report: December 2012 Valuations now Looking a Little Frothy" covers the main brewers in Kenya (EABL), Tanzania (TBL), Rwanda (Bralirwa), Madagascar and Mauritius (Phoenix).

“At about 9.2 litres per person, beer consumption in Kenya is still some way off the global average of 35 litres per person and there is still room for growth Kenya’s emerging market credentials are driving demand for low calorie beers and the premium segment is showing strong growth,” it says.

Read: Kenya ranked Africa’s third largest beer market

Similarly, low consumption levels prevail in Tanzania, whose consumption is at 9.31 litres per person and Rwanda. “Per Capita Consumption (PCC) levels at 11.9 litres per person are low and on the back of continued sustained growth in growth domestic product will grow gradually,” says the report on Rwanda.

The report, however, says there is a huge room for expansion as some of the economies grow, especially fuelled by new mineral wealth, thereby expanding the middle class.

“Continued economic growth is increasing disposable incomes and consumption levels are rising from a low base,” it says.

The levels of beer consumption are in particular amongst the lowest in the region.

Consumption in South Africa is the largest on the continent at 59.5 litres per person followed by the West Africa market where the combined average rate of consumption for Ghana, Nigeria and the Ivory Coast is 10.61 litres per person.

Analysts say factors such as religion, drinking times and how much disposable income the average East African has can explain the lower consumption when compared with Africans from other regions.

“A lot of this has to do with the population mix and the spending power,” said Eric Musau, a research analyst at Standard Investment Bank.

At 45 million, Tanzania has a bigger population than Kenya’s 40 million but a larger Muslim population which can partly contribute to lower alcohol consumption.

‘‘The stringent laws on the distribution and the sale of alcoholic beverages in markets such as Kenya are amongst factors that check amounts of beer consumed locally,’’ added Mr Musau. The report, however, says the oil will be the game changer for higher beer consumption.

The region’s recent discoveries of oil in Uganda, Madagascar, natural gas in Tanzania and bright prospects of oil in Kenya and Rwanda will expand the consumer base and the average East Africans consumption.

Uganda and Tanzania have vast amounts of oil and gas while Kenya’s prospects are seen as very bright following striking of oil in two sites. The region is yet to be fully explored.

“This new dynamic adds on to the real growth being experienced by East Africa’s economies,” says the report.

All the economies have grown steadily despite setbacks in Kenya over the last 10 years.

if percapita beer consumption is lower than Tanzania's likewise population-wise, how can u be the third beer market? does that make a sense to u? poor journalism not surprised with ur propaganda mentality moreover the title is seriously misleading since the article is based on "... international beer maker Diageo’s sales on the continent,"! still waiting for ur oil quantities though!

Biased journalism?Doesnt this excuse ever get old?

MaBaker • 4 months ago −
These figures cannot be entirely representative. SABMiller and Heineken
numbers - and they have a larger market share in Africa than Diageo -
have not been taken into account. For instance, one of the countries
with serious drinkers is Zambia - former president Kenneth Kaunda used
to shed tears for his people but they have not changed - but their
figures have not been included because Diageo does not have a beer
presence in Zambia! Very unhelpful statistics. Diageo is also very small
in South Africa, so a comparison with Kenya where Diageo is much bigger
is statistically inappropriate. This will just give more unjustified
ammunition to the anti-beer crusaders....nkt

This is a comment from a fellow Kenyan though smart unlike u!
