AB InBev Africa’s Post

As we celebrate Africa Day, we raise our glasses to the pivotal role of the beer industry in propelling the continent’s economic growth by being a part of initiatives such as the African Continental Free Trade Area(AfCFTA). This is an important multilateral perspective developed by the African Union to help meet Agenda 2063’s vision for a prosperous and inclusive continent.   Our growth commitment is focused on local sourcing and community empowerment, producing products that are local, inclusive, and natural. By integrating traditional and high-value crops, we enhance agricultural value chains, food security, and sustainable practices. The beer industry is key to Africa's future, advocating for better infrastructure, streamlined trade, and community upliftment, fostering a prosperous and interconnected continent.   Cheers to the realisation of AfCFTA’s vision for a prosperous, resilient and interconnected Africa!   Read further on how beer is driving economic progress - https://lnkd.in/dASwb7pN #FutureWithMoreCheers #WeAreSAB -- Zoleka L.

💥💥💥Can We Tame The Coffee Class C Price? --- ⭐ In Colombia, one of the world's coffee capitals, many of the arable land once home to coffee gradually transferred to banana gardens. ⭐ On April 24, Oscar Gutierrez, the executive director of a farmers' organization, led a protest in Armenia. The protest group includes people representing farms and coffee-growing areas across the country. They gathered together to raise the voices of the farmers and workers working for work. But there are no words. ⭐ Following the farmers' protests, Colombia's agriculture ministry called for a reduction in tensions. The government has also authorized an $80 million subsidy for farmers.

Very useful to strategise in these industry challenging times.

Not many would associate Africa with frozen food markets. Even less Mali, landlocked and recently troubled by violence. Yet, a combination of mother nature's gift (the Kent variety, unanimously considered the best for IQF diced mangoes) entrepreneurial spirit by Comafruit's owner and an enormous hard work by Africa Felix Consulting made it possible: frozen Mango Made in Mali has landed on the tables of many European. And its quality has been unanimously praised. The 2023 production has been hoovered by the market in just two months, also given the problems El Nino is bringing to other parts of the world. Now is time to talk to our customers for the 2024 crop, starting in April. Time to build further on the past success. Made in Africa food has enormous potential.

Celebrating the Beer Economy’s Contribution to Africa’s Development   Our businesses across the continent are not merely crafting exceptional beer—they are fuelling significant economic growth, generating employment opportunities, and bolstering local communities.   The recent report from Oxford Economics, “The Economic Contribution of Beer in Lower Income Countries” (January 2024), highlights beer as a powerful engine for economic development. Africa has on average low per capita beer consumption. The report estimates that if beer consumption increased, the beer sector’s total gross value-added contribution to lower-income countries' GDP could rise 106%, to $71 billion. This surge in beer activities could stimulate 13 million jobs across these economies, marking a 90% increase from the jobs reported in 2019.    Currently, the beer sector supports 6.7 million jobs in lower-income countries. The beer sector is significantly more important to the national economy of low-income and lower middle-income countries. In Mozambique for example, the beer sector and its value chain supported 2.7% of the country’s total GDP.   Our operations span multiple African countries, and we see first-hand the positive impact our industry has on economic development. From sourcing raw materials to distributing our products, every step of our supply chain supports local economies and fosters sustainable growth.    By investing in local talent, infrastructure, and sustainable practices, we are committed to positively impacting the continent.   Join us in celebrating the role of the beer economy in Africa’s development.    Together, we can create #AFutureWithMoreCheers.   Tag: Bruno Tembe Mesiya Mwangoka Michelle Kilpin Adu Rando Diaan (DJ) Kruger Thais Cavinatto Carlos Daniel Bernitt Arroyo  Galo R.
