Burundi’s main beer
brewer firm, Brarudi, majority owned by Heineken NV, said on Wednesday
its sales of beer and soft drinks rose 21 per cent in 2010.
The company said
volumes sold increased to 1.99 million hectolitres from 1.64 million in
2009, lifted by increased spending by more prosperous coffee farmers
and higher demand during the country’s elections.
The company said 80 per cent of its sales was beer and the rest was soft drinks.
