Czech Republic: Beer output increased 5% in the seven months of 2006
Czech breweries raised beer output by 5 percent year-on-year in the first seven months of the year owing to a hot July, said Jan Vesely, director of the Czech Beer and Malt Association, CTK unveiled August 30.
In the first half, beer output grew by 4.4 percent. In July alone, production rose by 9 percent year-on-year, Vesely said, adding successful exports were another factor.
In the first half, Czech breweries raised exports by 17 percent year-on-year to 1.7 million hectolitres, while sales to the domestic market added 2 percent to 7.85 million hectolitres. Vesely added output in August would be lower owing to colder weather.
Czech beer output for the full year is estimated at 19.5 million hectolitres, mainly owing to a growth in exports to 3.5 million hectolitres. In 2005, Czech breweries produced 19.07 million hectolitres of beer, with exports at 3.1 million hectolitres.
