Nigeria: Malt demand to increase in Nigeria

Malt demand in Nigeria appears to increase from year to year after a switch-back of local brewers from sorghum to barley malt. The country imported 62,000 tones in 2004 after 55,000 tones in 2003. It is rumored that Belgian and U.K. sales for 2006 are very substantial.

SAB is in the market for a quantity of high quality (Heineken A) malt. Tunisia has purchased 5,000 tones, probably from France.
