Czech Republic: Czech beer output increased by 3% in H1 2005
Czech beer production increased by a preliminary 3% in the first-half of 2005, chairman of the Czech Association of Breweries and Malt Houses Jan Vesely told CTK on July 13. Exports are estimated to have grown markedly, contributing significantly to the growth in output, Prague Daily Monitor cited Jan Vesely.
Production was higher year-on-year in all months in the January-June period, except for February, which was affected negatively by the long lasting effect of the chilly spell. Full-year beer output is projected to grow to at least 19 million hectolitres, said Vesely.
Last year brewers produced 18.75 million hectolitres of beer, a year-on-year rise of 1.1 %. Domestic output was slightly down, while exports were higher by a quarter at 2.64 million hectolitres.
In January-March of this year, the country exported 560,000 hectolitres of beer, up 15.5 % against the same period last year. Domestic sales dropped almost five percent on the year to 3.26 million hectolitres. CTK news edited by the staff of the Prague Daily Monitor, a Monitor CE service.
