This paper deals with the tw main grups f drinks whih are generally described as beverages and lie under the majr grup 21 in the ISIC (inter natinal Standard Industrial Classificatin). The first grup - nn-alchli beverages - includes mineral waters, aerated waters, and flavured waters* The ther grup is divided int beer and ther alchlic drinks such as wine, cider and distilled alchlic beverages. 2. The beer industry will be treated separately in this paper since it represents the main branch in beverage industries* 3. There was difficulty in btaining data n alchlic beverages ther than beerf fr example, the vlume f prductin, raw materials required, value added and labur frce are, t a great extent, nt available. 4. As fr this grup (alchlic beverages ther than beer), special atten tin shuld be given t the supply thrugh imprts, the vlume f whih reached 1»349>45Q hectlitres with a value f JS$8.6 millin in Whereas the vlume f imprted alchlic drinks ther than beer was 515,420 hi in the Western sub-regin (ppulatin ver 90 millin) in 1?63, in the Central Afrian Sub^regin (ppulatin 26 millin) the vlume amunted t 1,349s45 hi in the same year. Histrical and General-^ 6. There are many legends cnnected with the rigin and histry f spirits. In this respect we may ffer here nly a few f the fascinating tales. But ne fact emerges clearly; every civilizatin has had its liqur. Egyptian carvings and paintings depict distilling apparatus. Shahs f India sipped liqurs made frm flwers in 800 B.C. The great philspher, Aristtle, has mentined liqur, and legend has. it that Alexander the Great passed the first lving up as a peace gesture between Macednians and Persians. Gerge Washingtn was ne f the early American distillers. Belw are a few examples f hw different liqurs acquired their names which are still used cmmercially as internatinally well-knwn industrial prducts. (a) Whiskys The wrd "whisky" evlved frm "uisge" r "usque", bth f Celtic rigin. As early as the 12th century the Irish drank "uisge lah", meaning "water f life". 1/ See The Beverages Industry in the West African Sub-regin

At ne time, vdka was made frm ptates, but American vdkas are made frm grains.. (c) Gins A 17th century prfessr at Hlland's Leiden University, experimenting with distilling (r mixing a bath f hme brew), is credited.with discvering "genievre", French fr "juniper", a berry whicii gives gin. its flavur. It was the isnglish wh shrtened the name t gin, (d) Rums riginally "rhum" began as a by-prduct f sugar manufacturing. It was p'rtibably the first liqur distilled in clnial United States. 7. The brewing f beer is a ver^ ancient industry and has been practised fr thusands f years by the Egyptians and the Assyrians. The prcess may still be imprved fr there are many prblems assciated with brewing. Scientific studies f brewing began nly abut seventy-five years ag. The tw main factrs necessary in the brewing technique are based partly n well established scientific facts and partly n empirical knwledge gained frm years f practical experience. 8. Brewing can be classed amng the agr allied industries since it draws its materials frm this surce. Prm the ecnmic pint f view, brewing is an extremely imprtant industry linked with the agricultural sectr. 9. n a wrld-wide scale, abut 300 millin hectlitres (6,600 millin gallns) f beer are prduced annually, fr which abut 5 millin tns f cereals and abut 50 millin kilgrammes (l millin wt) f hps are used. In sme Eurpean cuntries, the brewing industry ccupies a significant place amng industries. Fr example, it is particularly imprtant in Belgium, since it is the third largest industry f the cuntry, metal smelting and cal mining being the mst prminent. Cnsiderable amunts f beer are cnsumed annually in Eurpe. The per capita annual cnsump tin f beer in three Eurpean cuntries is as fllws: XJ Cuntry Per capita annual cnsumptin f beer Belgium 140 litres (250 pints) United Kingdm ' 75 " Germany (West) 75 " If Jean de Clerk, A textbk f Brewing, Vlume 1, 1957.

5 B/CK.14/IHR/L79 Page In the wrld market f sft drinks, there are quite a number f prducts where substances ther than alchl cntribute t the taste, stimulatin and flavuring materials. In sme f these drinks, sugar is added, and in thers n sweetening' cmpnents are included. Sft drinks are sld under a wide variety f cmmercial names, sme f which are widely knwn thrughut the wrld (e.g. Cca-Cla, Pepsi Cla). Pepsi Cla, which was riginally an American drink, is nw being prduced in mre than ^8 cuntries. The Pepsi Cla frmula was created in I896 by the wner f a drug stre, Caleb Bradham, in the small twn f New Bern, Wrth Carlina. The basis is cane sugar, vanilla, essential ils, spices and cla nut. Althugh the principal base f ingredients fr the Pepsi Cla syrup frmula is well knwn, the exact details are a wellkept secret.

The prductin f these tw factries reahed 30,000 hi in 1931* 17. Between 1946 and 1956, annual beer prductin jumped frm 182,000 hi t 1,229,000 hi. In I960 -there were 13 factries belnging (except fr ne) t the three main cmpanies mentined befre. 18. The demand fr beer increased after independence and almst dubled between 1958 and Beer cnsumptin stayed stable after 1962 and the vlume f prductin was limited t?,100»000 hi. The 1964 mnetary changes affected demand, and the level f beer prductin 4ecrefteed t 1,900,000 hi. Xt then increased t 2,017 0 hi in 1965» hwever. In 1965 per capita beer cnsumptin was estimated at 20 litres? Lal prductin f beer cvered 75 per cent f lcal demand in the years befre the war, but after 1946 lcal prductin f beer cvered 99 per cent f lcal cnsumptin Cmpared t ther African cuntries, the lal beer in the Cng is cnsumed in large measure by freigners as well as by the indigenus ppulatin.. "20. The value added in the beer industry in the Cng (Dem-rati kepibii) represents 80 per cent f the ttal utput f this^industry. In 1964 the value added in the beer industry amunted t US$8 millin which represented 39 per cent f the ttal value added fr industries prducing fr the internal market. 21. tfhe relative size f the value added in the beer industry shws the disequilibrium f the industrial structure where t much stress is placed n the prductin f cnsumer gds. 22. Cmpared t ther African cuntries, the beer industry in the Cng (Demcratic Republic) is much larger as seen in Table The brewing industry imprts its basic materials (malt and hps} frm abrad.

The beer brands prduced "bea? the names "Beaufrt", blnde 33" and "Staut 33". In 1963, the beer industry prduced 250,000 hi, as cmpared t 23^,000 hi in i960.

Besides beer, the brewery prduces 97,000 hi f sft drinks,and 33,000 tns f ice. The sft drinks prduced are spda, tnic, squash, lemnade, grenadine, menthe, champagne, sda, syrup with sugar and fruit juice. The annual capacity f sft drink prductin is 200,000 hi. Sft drink prductin in the Camern reached full capacity in The labur frce in this factry cmprises 400 Africans and 30 Eurpeans (technicians). There is a branch f this factry in Yaunde whih prduces' ice, and sme aerated waters. ^ 33. As will be seen frm Table 3> the bulk f "beverage prductin is represented by beer. The Demcratic Republic f the Cng has the -biggest share in sft drinks as well as beer. ' 34. The share f beer and sft drinks prductin in the Cng (Demcratic Republic) t the ttal prductin f these drinks in the sub-regin is higher than the share f ppulatin in the cuntry t that f the sub-regin. This cuntry had 88 per cent f the beer prductin in the sub-regin, whereas its ppulatin was nly 58 Per cent f the whle ppulatin in the sub-regin. General bservatins n beverage industries in Central Afric a-' 35» Ths prductin f beer and the capacities f breweries have increased very fast cmpared with 1962, when prductin amunted t 2,525,000 hi and capacities t 2,630,000 hi. These ttals are smewhat distrted by the fact that sme breweries in the Cng (Demcratic Republic) have been wrking'far belw their capacity (and previus utput figures). This refers t breweries lcated in nrth-eastern and eastern areas wnih are disrganized as a result f the revlutin. ther breweries have, been als-wrking belw capaity due t the shrtages f supply f imprted materials (malt, hps). In abslute terms the prductin has increased in the Cng (Demcratic Republic) at 0.6 per cent per annum and in the UDEAC cuntries at 11.9 per cent per annum. 1/ This sectin is based n infrmatin cllected by an ECA missin which visited Central Africa in April-May 1967.

12 E/CN.14/imt/l79 Page The particular situatin in Cng (Demcratic Republic) is als reflected "by the rates f capacity increase during the perid which have been fr the Cng (Demcratic Republic) 5.8 per cent per annum and fr the UDEAC cuntries 16.4 per cent per annum. 37- Beer imprts (still imprtant) fi*m verseas, as well as the cn sumptin trends, still remain t be studied carefully.. It shuld be mentined that there is an imprtant imprt-exprt trade in beer (and t sme extent in sft drinks) amng the UDEAC cuntries. Lcatin f breweries and transprt csts as well as lcal tastes, f curse, play very imprtant rles in this respet. 38. Whereas demand fr beer seems t spiral up very'fast, the increase f cnsumptin f sft drinks is lagging cnsiderably behind. The relatively unimprtant price difference between beer and sft drinks seems t be the explanatin. Sft drinks are suppsedly cnsumed by the Mslem ppulatin and very little by wmen, children and yungsters (these grups have little mney at their wn dispsal). 39«Generally, all directrs f breweries agree that in the sub-regin the cnsumptin f sft drinks was at the level f 20 per cent (in vlume) in relatin t beer. This prprtin tends nevertheless t decrease in favur f beer. 40. There are still imprts f sft drinks frm verseas. This may be explained by Eurpean Cmmn Market facilities cmbined with wider cmmercial, margin applied t imprted cmmdities. 41. In the pinin f the managers f the breweries, wine cnsumptin has levelled, ff. The slight grwth f cnsumptin by expatriates is ffset by the decrease f Africans' cnsumptin. Lcal wines (palm, banana) are steadily lsing their previus imprtance, and are increasingly limited t mre remte areas as they are. rarely cmmercialized. 42. The manufacture f strng alchlic liqurs is negligible. They are almst entirely imprted. The expatriate sectr is the majr cnsumer f* them, estimatad rughly at sme per cent. Cntrary t the habits develping nw in Anglphne cuntries, increased cnsumptin f strng alchlic beverages has nt been bserved amng the African ppulatin in the UDSAC cuntries r in the Cng (Demcratic Republic), 43. Practially all the breweries manufacture syrups and ice fr lcal market Camern ' 44. The Beaufrt brewery (in Camern) is nw being expanded and by the beginning f 1968 will have a capacity f 700,000 hi. The erectin f tw new breweries is als being cnsidered, namely in Yaunde, with an initial capacity f 200,000 hi, and in Garua - 50,000 hi. It is expected that these capacities will be balanced by demand smewhere arund / Frm discussins with the Directr f the Beaufrt brewery in Duala-

The Central African Republic-' 49. The Maf brewery (in CAR) is being expanded and its capacity by 1968 will be 180,000 hi f beer plus 20,000 hi f aerated drinks. In 1966 it prduced 110,000 hi f beer, f which 40 per ent was cnsumed in the CAR (mstly in Bangui and ther urban areas), 40 per cent was exprted t the Cng (Brazzaville) - mstly nrthern regin up t Brazzaville itseir, and 20 per cent -t Chad (eastern part, mstly Frt Arhambault and area;. Directrs f the brewery believe that they culd sell muh mre and that the market is far frm being saturated, especially in the rural areas where distributin is nt prperly rganized. J 50.

Nevertheless, the actual five-year plan envisages an expansin f capacity t 45,000 hi by , hping that the planned imprvement f the rads will enable cheaper and easier distributin f mre lcal beer thrughut the untry. The requisite investment utlays are estimated at Fr. CFA 50 millin Sft aerated drinks are manufactured, n a small scale, mainly in Frt Lamy and in Frt Archambault. The cnsumptin is abut 20 per cent (in vlume) f beer, and this trend is expected t cntinue. 1/ Frm discussins with the Directr f the Maf brewery in Bangui.

As stated" previusly', all diretrs f breweries agree that in the sub-regin the cnsumptin f sft drinks apprximates 20 per cent (by Vlume) in relatin t beer and that this prprtin tends t decrease in favur f beer, Whereas the beer demand seems't grw fast, the increase f sft drinks cn&imptin is lagging cnsiderably behind. Perhaps the relatively slight difference in prie between beer and sft drinks is ne f the main reasns, fr the shift t higher beer cnsumptin. ' ' 90. Generally all beer capacities in the cuntries f the sub-regin are nt fully utilized. Despite this, there are plans fr expansin f breweries in the sub-regin. In Camern, the nly existing brewery is nw being expanded and will have a apacity f 700,000 hi by the beginning f New breweries are als planned in Camern, s that sme 950,000 hi will be prduced t meet the demand in Beer prductin capacity in the Central African Republic will reach sme 180,000 hi in Althugh Chad des nt utilize all beer capacities (60 per cent are utilized), the five-year plan envisages an expansin f the apacity t reach 45>0 hi by * The demand fr beer is steadily increasing in the Cng (Brazzaville). The capacity f the main brewery in Brazzaville has been expanded recently t 100,000 hi and further expansin-by 1969 will be necessary (t 130,000 hi). The ttal apacity in 1970 will reach apprximately 230,000 hi. 92. The ttal capacities f breweries in the Cng (Demcratic Republic) were estimated at 2,921,200 hi in 1967 and the prductin f beer in 1966 reached 2,240,300 hi. The breweries in Stanleyville, Kisangani and Paulis are wrking belw capacity* The increased demand fr beer thrugh 1970 can easily be cvered by utilizatin f idle capacities. 93. The new brewery in Gabn is expected t sell its first prductin in The capacity can easily reach 100,000 hi by * The abve fats lead t the cnclusin that mst f the breweries are well aware f the grwing demand and are passing a dynamic expansinist plicy in respect f cntinuus expansin f capacities. Future demand fr beverages in the Central African sub-regin 95* A clear analysis f the different methds which facilitate measure ment f the size f future demand is neessary. Fr the expected demand, and its great imprtance as reflected in its cnnexins with ther ecnmic expectatins (such as size f investment, amrtisatin f the investments, freign trade plicies, etc), an explicit frecast is undubtedly required.

27 e/cjj.14/inh/179 Pa e This paper deals with three different prcedures which might be applied fr frecasting future demand. Befre giving cmputatins f the efficiency f each prcedure, all will be analysed t determine which ne culd be use fully applied. 97* Until sufficient data fr frecasting the demand are available, we can qualify and chse the mst reliable methd applicable in the circumstances. 98. There are a variety f cmplex prblems invlved in the calculatin and interpretatin f elasticity cefficients fr beverages. First and fremst is the fact that variatins in fd expenditure and cnsumptin, including drinks, are assciated nt nly with variatins in incme, but als witi* variatins in family size and cmpsitin and with fd r drinks preference patterns. Mrever, cmparisn f elasticity wrked ut frm different family budget surveys is risky because f the lack f parallelism in the cncepts and prcedures used, 99- ther factrs, such as the defect f mving frm rural circumstances t urban envirnment, the length f urban residence, the strength f influences mdifying the traditinal attitudes, and the degree f familiarity with the different'kinds f drinks, are all likely t be f cnsiderable imprtance Fr the abve reasns cautin shuld be exercised in drawing cnclusins frm the incme elasticity estimates. Mrever, the facts given\abve emphasize the necessity fr clse attentin in planning fr future budget, surveys First prcedure; applying ppulatin rates f grwth The ttal demand f all beverages fr the whle sub-regin as Table 12 shws is 5.0, 5-8 and 7-2 millin hi in the years 1963, 1970 and I98,. respectively The sub-reginal demand fr beer in I963 as well as 1970 and I98 exceeds that f sft drinks and ther alchlic drinks tgether. 103* Different factrs might affect the validity f this prcedure- Recalling the factrs (a), (b) and (c) mentined in Chapter IV, the figures f demand in.table 12 shuld be handled with care.' In this respect, it is necessary t analyse every factr separately. Unless a change in habits f beverage cnsumptin is anticipated, factr (a) might nt be changeable t the extent. that a cmplete upset, f beverage cnsumptin patterns in the different cuntries culd be expected As fr factr (b), any increase f unre-crded trade flw which might lead t an increase f beverage cnsumptin in the sub-regin may nt be expected. The reasn fr this is that the develping cuntries, including the Central African cuntries, are trying t use every pssibility t btain a favurable balance f payments- thrugh cntrlled freign trade and thrugh bilateral and multilateral ecnmic agreements*

28 E/CN.14/INR/179 Page * Industrializatin, prgrammes and urbanizatin plicies can change the patterns f cnsumptin faster than any ther factr, thus factr (c) can be assumed t be the ne mst influencing the demand picture. Expenditure n beverages and tbacc is related t the size f ttal expenditure. As a shifting t higher quality brands f beverages with special reference t imprted nes is recgnized in higher incme grups (see Chapter IV), The abve facts reflected thrugh factr (c) might lead t the analysis f the secnd prcedure. Secnd prcedure: applying the GDP rates f grwth. 10iS. As will be seen in Table 13, the ttal demand' fr all beverages in the sub-regin is 5.0, 7.5 and 13.5 millin hi in the years 1963, 1970 and 1980, respectively. It is als ntable by this prcedure that the estimated demand fr every grup f beverages is higher than that btained.by the/first ' prcedure. In fact, this prcedure is nt cnsidered as technically applicable as the firsty Bince the change f fd and beverage cnsumptin pattern is nt related t incme changes, but als t ther, factrs such as family size and structure, etc Hecalling Table 11, we can find a very clear example which might supprt the previus cncept. In that table, althugh the per capita incme f mst f the cuntries included in the table is cnsidered t be high cmpared with the develping cuntries, a wide range f per capita cnsumptin pattern f beer and wine is t be nted. ~" 108. As Table 11 shws, the per capita cnsumptin f beer in the United States f America (60.7 litres) in 1957» where the per capita incme was higher than in Belgium, was-much less than its cunterpart "in Belgium (113.8 litres) in the same year. The er_cap_ita wine cnsumptin in Italy (83.9 litres in 1957) was much higher than that in the Federal Republic f Germany (9.8 litres in the same year), where the per capita incme was higher than Italy's.. «109. The abve facts might invalidate the applicability f the secnd prcedure fr demand prjectins* 110. As explained in paragraph 98, care shuld be taken by interpretatin and calculatin f elasticity measures fr frecasting the demand fr beverages. An attempt was made, hwever, t apply these measures fr frecasting the demand n beverages. Separate elasticity figures fr beverages as a grup are difficult t btain. In many cases where elasticity studies have been.made, they presented fd, beverages and tbacc tgether as a grup f cmmdities. Using sme cnsumptin expenditure.patterns, a unifrm elasti city measure fr alchlic beverages (including beer) is estimated t be I.3. As fr sft drinks, the elasticity is 1.0,

I98 respectively (see Table la-h \ '. 1 (b) The sub-regirial figures fr sft drinksj btained by this prcedure are larger than thcjse btained by applying ppulatin rate f grwth and smaller than thje figures btained by applying the GDP rates f grwth (see Table 3J5);!
