Public joint-stock company Carlsberg Ukraine, one of the largest breweries in Ukraine, expects that in 2013 the company will increase beer and beverage production by 1% compared to 2012, reads a company report in the information disclosure system of the National Commission for Securities and the Stock Market.
The report says that in 2012, beer production fell by 8.8%, to 7.35 million hectoliters, increasing output of beverages (Kvas Taras) by 2.6%, to UAH 390,000 hectoliters.
Carlsberg Ukraine said that in 2012 the Ukrainian beer market fell by 1.2% compared to 2011. The company said that the market has large prospects for growth, as beer consumption in the country totals less than 60 liters per capita, which is lower than in Europe.
