EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Among the main Brazilian industrial segments, the food and beverage industry is far the

largest. According to the Brazilian Association of Food Industries 1 (ABIA), in 2017, the

food and beverage industry had total revenue of R$ 642.6 billion. Of this amount, 81%

was generated in food production and 19% in beverages manufactoring. In addition, this

industrial segment includes a contingent of 35.6 thousand companies and generating

directly jobs for more than 1.6 million people.

This report is part of the series of studies on the Brazilian agroindustry of FGV Projetos.

While several agroindustrial chains have already been mapped in previous editions, the

present study focuses on the last great chain not yet detailed: the agroindustry of alcoho-

lic beverages. According to ABIA 2, in 2017, alcoholic beverages accounted for 46.7% (R$

57.0 billion) of all national beverage industry revenues (R$ 122.1 billion).

Still according to ABIA, the Brazilian alcoholic beverage industry can be divided into three

main categories: cachaça, beer and wine. Among these three main products, beer is the

most consumed drink in the country; for example, in 2015, beer was responsable for al-

most 70% of the consumption 3 (in volume) of alcoholic beverages in Brazil. According to

the Brazilian Beer Industry Association 4 (CervBrasil), in 2016, only the beer production

chain mobilized around 12 thousand suppliers of goods and services and around 8 million

professionals from different areas. Throughout the process, several sectors were invol-

ved: civil construction, transportation, energy, vehicles, pulp and paper, aluminum and

glass, among others, involving more than 1 million small and medium-sized companies

and reaching around 99% of the country's homes.

In order to present an overview of the Brazilian beer and wine industry, secondary data

were used, from the primary production of the sector, through industrial production to

the foreign market.

PRIMARY BEER PRODUCTION: BRAZIL EACH TIME CLOSER OF BARLEY SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Barley is one of the main cereals produced in the world, it is typically a winter crop and the

production is more concentrated in the European Union and Russia. Artificial germination 5

of the grain gives rise to the malt, which is used for brewing. In 2018, the grain production

was present in more than 50 countries worldwide and reached a volume of more than 140

million tons. All this volume came from a harvested area of more than 49 million hectares,

allowing the crop to reach, on average, the harvested productivity of 2.84 tons per hectare.

5 Artificial germination of barley is the process in which water is added to the grain to cause a controlled germination

with optimum temperature. After reaching the point, the process is interrupted and the malt is dried, thus brewing

the malt. This is how malt is included in the brewing process.

7THE BRAZILIAN BEER AND WINE INDUSTRY AND ITS INTERACTIONS WITH INTERNATIONAL TRADE

The performance in 2018 shows that barley production has been relatively stable com-

pared with developments since the mid-1990s, specifically since 1995, when 141.17 million

tons of grain were produced. The record volume for the period, 179.46 million tons, was

produced in the 1990 harvest and reduced until the 1995 harvest. Thereafter, the average

volume remained at the household of 140 million tons produced per year, with a maxi-

mum production of 155.05 million in 2008 and a minimum around 122.71 million in 2010.

The harvested area from barley also has reduced in the early 1990s, from 72.40 million

hectares harvested in 1990 to 66.38 in 1995. However, unlike production, the area used

did not stabilize over the following decades and continues to reduce gradually. Between

1990 and 2018, there was a cumulative reduction of 31.62%, representing an average de-

cline of 1.30% per year.

The stabilization of production levels, together with the reduction of harvested area, in-

dicates that barley cultivation, in general, has become more productive over the years.

Between 1990 and 2018, there was a 14.52% increase in cereal productivity, which means

an average growth of 0.47% per year. While in 1990 harvested 2.48 tons of barley per

hectare, in 2018 this value reached 2.84 tons. Countries such as Chile, New Zealand and

Switzerland lead the grain productivity ranking in 2018, having harvested over 6 tons

per hectare. Among the main world producers are the European Union, Russia, Canada,

Turkey, Ukraine, Australia, Argentina, Kazakhstan, the United States and Iran, showing

how much cereal production is dispersed.

Brazil is only the 29th world producer of barley and, according to Embrapa Wheat 8, the

expansion of this crop is relatively recent in the country. In addition, this expansion it is

linked to the brewing industry initiative, which encouraged domestic production to gua-

rantee supply, and the increase in the foreign product in the 1970s. The observed evolution

between 1990 and 2018 was possible, according to Embrapa, due to the:

To official incentive for the construction of malts from the mid-70's, which made

possible the expansion of internal malting and grain storage capacity;

To financing and guaranteeing production prices; and

Finally, the intensification and diversification of the research developed by

Embrapa itself. This effort enabled adapted cultivars and development of ma-

nagement techniques appropriate to local climate and soil conditions.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY10

Between 1990 and 1995 the production oscillated above one hundred thousand tons.

From then on, it reached 200 thousand tons and increased until 2005, a year in which

the record harvest of almost 400 thousand tons was reached. Although the good per-

formance observed in 2005, the 2006 harvest produced a volume of 48.47% lower than

the previous one. According to the IBGE 10, this decline occurred due to the reduction of

the planted area, motivated by the low prices obtained with the previous harvest. After

2010, production has grown again and reached a volume of 353 thousand tons in 2018.

For the period from 2006 to 2018, the harvested area moderately growth, rising from

90 thousand to around 112 thousand hectares, representing an accumulated growth of

24.33%. For the same period, production growth 71.76%. According to Embrapa 11, output

growth is explained by the increase of about 38.13% of productivity, which reached its

peak in 2016, with 3,92 tons per hectare.

Brazilian production is totally concentrated in the southern states of the country, basically

in Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul. Regarding the 2018 harvest, Paraná and Rio Grande

do Sul occupied practically the same area with barley planting, about 55 thousant tons,

however, the state of Paraná was more productive, responsable for about 62% of pro-

duction, while Rio Grande do Sul had 37.4%.

In terms of production yields, between 2015 and 2017, barley presented a negative profit

only in 2016, a year in which production was high and there was a greater supply of ce-

real in the market. Already for the other years, 2015 and 2017, there was positive profit.

PRIMARY WINE PRODUCTION: RIO GRANDE DO SUL IS WITH THE PROTAGONISM OF THE NATIONAL MARKET

Brazil with its climatic diversity typical of a continental country managed to reach a com-

pletely original wine-growing. According to the Brazilian Wine Institute 14 (IBRAVIN), the

process of European immigration, combined with investment in innovation, resulted in

grapes that made possible a drink with a unique personality.

The area of wine production in Brazil currently amounts to 79.90 thousand hectares. There

are more than 1,100 wineries scattered throughout the country, most of them installed

in small properties (average of 2 hectares of vineyards per family). Although present in

several Brazilian states and regions, production is concentrated in a few federation units.

Approximately 90% of the national production is concentrated in Rio Grande do Sul,

it is mainly destined to the juice and wine industry and is basically produced by small

farmers. In recent years, according to Embrapa 15, there has been the implementation of

Geographical Indications in Brazil, in this way viticulture has contributed to the develop-

ment of the territories involved, promoting aggregation of value to products and appre-

ciation of their respective natural inputs.

Analyzing the Rio Grande do Sul grape production between 2008 and 2018, it is possi-

ble to observe that there was a strong decline in the 2016 harvest. In that year, the total

production reached little more than 300 thousand tons, including grapes (more bitter

and mainly for the production of wine) and common (more sweet, for food consumption

and the production of softer wines). According with Embrapa 17, this has been one of the

most difficult harvests for the sector in recent years. Climatic events such as frost and

excessive rainfall contributed to the whole state being affected, compromising the pro-

ductivity of the vineyards.

Despite the performance of 2016, the year of 2017 was one of greatest production for

the analyzed period. In addition, in 2017 there was positive profit for the producers, on

average the value of the production surpassed the costs, resulting in a positive profit.

THE DOMINANCE OF BEER IN THE NATIONAL INDUSTRY OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES

The alcoholic beverage industry is important in several countries in the world, including

Brazil. According to the most recent IBGE 20 data, between 2005 and 2014, the country's

alcoholic beverage production expanded 48.41%. This performance comes mainly from

the production of beers and draft beer, which grew 56.88% in the same period. Wine

production, although presenting a less expressive rate, also presented a growth of 17.41%

in the period.

In 2014, the production of beer and draft beer corresponded to 90.75% of the total volume

of alcoholic beverages produced in Brazil. The participation of this sector, in addition to

being the most expressive, has been growing over the years, both in volume of produc-

tion and in the number of establishments producing the beverage.

According to the Ministry of Livestock and Food Supply 23 (MAPA), the expansion has been

boosted by the production of special beverages (premium and handmade), reflecting a

change in the consumption pattern of Brazilians, who have been seeking differentiated and

higher quality beverages in common brands which already existed on the market.

The increase in the number of breweries in Brazil, according to the Brazilian Association of

Artisan Beer 24 (Abracerva), is related to the possibility of diversification of the beverage,

which has adopted an artisan character, meeting an increasing demand of the consumer

market. According to Abracerva 25, these artisanal breweries tend to be smaller, have a re-

gional role and, although they employ a smaller number of employees in the aggregate,

have generated an expansion of the number of workers in this sector in Brazil.

cut about 429 jobs, while companies with up to 99 employees created 2,544 new jobs for the sector.

The result is a net balance of 2,115 more formal workers in the industry. So, this result is a reflection

of the increase in the national demand for differentiated beers which, in turn, warms the domestic

market and encourages the increase of production, and also attracting new producers.

Positive numbers regarding to the labor market are not observed in the volume of sales

of the sector. Although artisanal beer consumption has gained more and more consu-

mers over the past few years, this sector-specific niche is still modest. Artisanal produc-

tion accounts for about 1% of the volume and 2.5% of total industry revenue, according

to Abracerva. In addition, CervBrasil 27, which brings together the 3 largest brands in the

Brazilian market (Ambev, Heineken and Petrópolis), estimates that the beverage produ-

ced by them accounts for 95% of all Brazilian production in 2017.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY18

In 2017 there was a reduction of 1.7% in total beer sales compared to 2016, a year in

which the value of industrial production in the sector reached R$ 55.72 billion. However,

according to Nielsen 29 data, industry revenue grew by 1.6% over the same period. Part

of this growth was boosted by the 13% growth in premium and handmade beer sales.

This fact points to the change in consumption patterns, in which consumers choose to

drink less, but with better quality. That is, companies are losing sales volume, as the

most common drinks are being consumed less, but there is an increase in the demand

for more expensive labels of differentiated beverages.

The special beers have contributed not only to the segment itself but also has affected the

alcoholic beverage industry as a whole. According to data from Euromonitor International 31, consumption behavior of Brazilians have been changing over time and wine has for

some years have been losing space for premium and artisan beers. In 2016, for every liter

of wine consumed in Brazil, four liters of premium beer was consumed, in 2011 that pro-

portion was one liter of wine for every 2.7 of beer, a 49% increase in five years.

19THE BRAZILIAN BEER AND WINE INDUSTRY AND ITS INTERACTIONS WITH INTERNATIONAL TRADE

The data still indicate that wine is not a product considered essential in the consump-

tion basket of Brazilians and its consumption is directly affected by the economic per-

formance of the country. Premium beers have become a substitute for wine, especially

during the years 2015 and 2016 when Brazil experienced a severe economic crisis. In

other words, this behavior reveals that wine is not an essential product for Brazilians

and that changes in the price of the product or income of the economy directly affect

the consumption of the drink.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY20

The national wine production between 2008 and 2018 maintained a balanced trajectory,

except for 2016, where production was about 57.82% lower than that of 2015. World cli-

matic events, which had a stronger impact on Latin American countries, contributed so

that there was a decrease in the world production of grapes. In that year, the value of the

industrial production of wines reached more than R$ 1.28 billion, about 58% of the value

of the production of the grape industry.

But in the following year of 2017, national production showed signs of recovery and reached

752.50 million liters of the drink, about 150.58% of the volume produced in 2017. Linked

to this increase in production, and to the measure that the Brazilian economy began a

process of stabilization, there was also a 5.67% increase in wine sales when compared to

the previous year, according to the Brazilian Wine Institute (Ibravin). In 2018, the industry

already employed around 200 thousand people along its production chain, handled more

than R$ 9 billion and had more than 1,100 formalized wineries.

WORLD CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES AND THE REGIONALIZATION OF CONSUMER STANDARDS

Brazil was the 3rd largest consumer of alcoholic beverages in the world in 2018, reaching

14 billion liters. The country was only behind China and the United States, according to a

survey developed by the Statist 34. The highlight was for the Asian country, which consu-

med about 54.29 billion liters of alcoholic beverages in 2018. The volume consumed by

the Chinese is 78% higher than in the United States consumption of 30.50 billion liters.

Despite being the third ranked in this ranking, Brazilian demand is less than half the de-

mand observed in the United States.

Although China's absolute demand is the highest, when it is considered in per capita

terms the country loses positions in this ranking. The United States achieved an average

consumption of 93.8 liters per inhabitant in 2018, while for Brazil the volume was 67.8

liters. The Chinese had per capita consumption of 39.3 liters. Germany is the leader of

this ranking, the per capita consumption of the European country reached a volume of

140.9 liters of drink per inhabitant in 2018.

Both absolute consumption and per capita consumption of alcoholic beverages change

between countries. In addition, the type of drink consumed also changes according to

the geographical location. In the ranking of the largest consumers of beer, for example,

the first place is with the Czech Republic, which in 2017 consumed on average 137.38 li-

ters of beer per capita.

The countries of Eastern Europe dominate the consumption of beer. The United

States holds the 12th in the ranking, with 74.90 liters per capita in 2017. In total, US$

281 billion was traded in the brewing market in 2017. In the list of the 15 largest world

beer consumers, Brazil is not even quoted, despite being the most consumed drink in

the country. According to Statista data, the Brazilians consumed, on average, 65.27

liters of the drink in 2017.

23THE BRAZILIAN BEER AND WINE INDUSTRY AND ITS INTERACTIONS WITH INTERNATIONAL TRADE

In addition, there is a change in consumption pattern in the national beer market. Consumers

have traded quantity for quality, giving room for the premium and handmade types of the

beverage, fostering the domestic market. In addition, the new national production pattern

has contributed to an increase in exports, which has grown mainly since 2014, mainly due

to the highlight that the national artisanal beverage has received in the rest of the world.

The magazine BeerArt 36 surveyed the number of awards that Brazilian craft beers recei-

ved between 2007 and 2017 in the foreign market. In 2007 there were only two awards,

but this number grew year-by-year, reaching 255 awards in 2017. This performance has

generated more and more visibility for the national beverage and collaborated with the

increase of the external demand for Brazilian artisanal beer.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY24

Between 1998 and 2018 Brazil remained in the category of net exporter of beer, reaching

its peak of exports in 2015. In 2018, 10,59 thousand tons of beer were exported through

Brazil. The main destinations were the South American countries Paraguay, Argentina,

Bolivia and Uruguay, which imported practically all the volume marketed by Brazil. Paraguay,

the main destination of the Brazilian beverage, accounted for 51.79% of the total volume

shipped by Brazil, responsable for about 55.26% of the value marketed.

25THE BRAZILIAN BEER AND WINE INDUSTRY AND ITS INTERACTIONS WITH INTERNATIONAL TRADE

Although not dependent on the external market for beer consumption, the same scena-

rio is not observed for wine. Between 1998 and 2018, the trade balance of the beverage

derived from the grape has been deficient. Brazil not only imports more than it exports,

but the volume imported has been growing over the years.

Despite the large volume of wine imported by Brazil, in 2018 the country was the 15th lar-

gest producer in the world and the fifth largest in the Southern Hemisphere, according

to the International Organization of Vine and Wine (OIV) 40. The country produces about

225 varieties of grapes responsible for the production of various types of wine. Brazilian

wine products are present in 59 countries and on 5 continents and about 90% of the vo-

lume exported originates in Rio Grande do Sul.

In 2018 Brazilian wine exports grew by 29.62% in volume and 19.67% in value, compared

to 2017. Meanwhile, for the same period, there was a decrease of 1.40% in volume and an

increase of 6.65% in value of the imports of the product.

The volume of imported wine far exceeds the sector's exports. While between 1998 and

2018, exports fell by 65%, imports in turn had a significant growth of more than 350%.

A large part of this imported volume comes from Chile. The South American country was

responsible for more than 30% of the volume and value of Brazilian wine imports. In ad-

dition to Chile, Portugal, Italy, Argentina and France were the countries responsible for

the largest volumes imported by Brazil. Together these five countries were responsable

for about 90% of the volume and 87% of the value of the wine demanded by Brazil.

Among the countries that compose the ranking of the main exporters of wine to Brazil,

some are also great consumers of the drink. Portugal, Italy, Argentina and France are

among the ten largest consumers per capita in the world. In 2018 the consumption of

these countries exceeded 30 liters per inhabitant. France leads this ranking, the European

country had a per capita consumption of 45.10 liters in 2018.

BARRIERS TO COMMERCIALIZATION OF WINE IN BRAZIL: DIFFICULT COMPETITION WITH THE EXTERNAL MARKET

Within the Brazilian market, wine consumption is still largely made up of imported beve-

rages. The external dominance reached the mark of 86.3% of the entire national market

at the end of the first half of 2017, the highest rate since the last eight years. The national

beverage was the remaining 13.7%, according to data from Ibravin 44. In 2011, imports ac-

counted for about 78.8% of the Brazilian consumer market, while nationals about 21.2%.

The advance of imported products raises concerns for the sector, since, according to data

from Ibravin, more than 85% of the volume imported are products worth less than US$

4.00, and the largest quantities are brought by large retail chains. In addition, domestic

products collect much more taxes on production than imported products, generating

an imbalance within the sector. In addition to the retail chains, traditional importers/dis-

tributors and a group of Brazilian wineries also have higher tax advantages than buying

products from abroad.

Allied to the lack of competitiveness in relation to the imported product, wine is not a

basic item in the Brazilian consumption basket. If there is a high in the price of the pro-

duct, or the country goes through periods of economic crisis that affect the income of

the Brazilian, as in 2015 and 2016, its consumption is reduced significantly. Institutions

and associations linked to the sector have developed partnerships and worked to over-

come these difficulties 45. The objective is to improve the quality of the Brazilian product

and, in addition, to promote it both in the domestic market and for the external public.

In that direction, it had been made efforts to train producers and wineries, mainly in the

state of Rio Grande do Sul. There are mini-courses and consultancies to implement pro-

cedures to reduce contamination risks, in order to maintain quality, from raw material to

final product. In the area of promotion of Brazilian wine, partnerships were established to

bring information about the national product to the bars and restaurants of the country.

Therefore, the Brazilian wine sector has been working both to reduce the negative im-

pact of the high tax burden and to become more competitive and, thus, to obtain larger

slices of the domestic market.

1. THE INDUSTRY OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES IN BRAZIL AND THE WORLD

Among the main Brazilian industrial segments, the food and beverage industry is far the

largest. According to the Brazilian Association of Food Industries 46 (ABIA), in 2017, the

food and beverage industry had total revenue of R$ 642.6 billion. Of this amount, 81%

was generated in food production and 19% in beverages manufactoring. In addition, this

industrial segment includes a contingent of 35.6 thousand companies and generating

directly jobs for more than 1.6 million people.

Only the Brazilian beverage industry, according to ABIA 47, is responsable for about 3%

of the value of industrial production in Brazil, and in 2016 generated R$ 117 billion, repre-

senting 1.9% of GDP and 4.8% of VBP from transformation industry. This industry can be

divided into two major groups: non-alcoholic beverages representing 53.3% and alcoholic

drinks with 46.7% of the segment.

The Brazilian alcoholic beverage industry can be divided into three main categories: ca-

chaça, beer and wine. In which beer, in 2015, was responsable for almost 70% of the con-

sumption 48 (in volume) of alcoholic beverages in the country. According to the Brazilian

Beer Industry Association 49 (CervBrasil), in 2016, only the beer production chain mobilized

around 12 thousand suppliers of goods and services and around 8 million professionals

from different areas. Throughout the process, several sectors were involved: civil cons-

truction, transportation, energy, vehicles, pulp and paper, aluminum and glass, among

others, involving more than 1 million small and medium-sized companies and reaching

around 99% of the country's homes.

In order to present an overview of the Brazilian beer and viticulture industry, secondary

data were used, from the primary production of the sector, through industrial production

to the foreign market.

1.1. PRIMARY PRODUCTION OF BEER - BARLEY

Barley is one of the main cereals produced in the world, it is typically a winter crop and

the production is more concentrated in the European Union and Russia. Artificial germi-

nation 50 of the grain gives rise to the malt, which is used for brewing. In 2018, the grain

production has present in more than 50 countries worldwide and reached a volume of

more than 140 million tons. All this volume came from a harvested area of more than 49

million hectares, allowing the crop to reach, on average, the harvested productivity of

2.84 tons per hectare, see Graph 1.

50 Artificial germination of barley is the process in which water is added to the grain to cause a controlled germination

with optimum temperature. After reaching the point, the process is interrupted and the malt is dried, thus brewing

the malt. This is how malt is included in the brewing process.

The performance in 2018 shows that barley production has been relatively stable com-

pared with developments since the mid-1990s, specifically since 1995, when 141.17 million

tons of grain were produced. The record volume for the period, 179.46 million tons, was

produced in the 1990 harvest and fell until the 1995 harvest. Thereafter, the average vo-

lume remained at the household of 140 million tons produced per year, with a maximum

production of 155.05 million in 2008 and a minimum of around 1,22.71 million in 2010.

The harvested area from barley also has reduced in the early 1990s, from 72.40 million

hectares harvested in 1990 to 66.38 in 1995. However, unlike production, the area used

did not stabilize over the following decades and continues to reduce gradually. Between

1990 and 2018, there was a cumulative reduction of 31.62%, representing an average de-

cline of 1.30% per year.

The stabilization of production levels, togather with the reduction of harvested area, indica-

tes that barley cultivation, in general, has become more productive over the years. Between

1990 and 2018, there was a 14.52% increase in cereal productivity, which means an average

growth of 0.47% per year. While in 1990 harvested 2.48 tons of barley per hectare, in 2018

this value reached 2.84 tons. Countries such as Chile, New Zealand and Switzerland lead

the grain productivity ranking in 2018, having harvested over 6 tons per hectare.

European Union, the main region producer in the world, also had productivity rates above

the world average. In 2018 were harvested 4.53 tons of barley per hectare in the region,

making possible a production of 56.34 million tons. Russia in 2018 produced a volume of

16.60 million tons, with a productivity below the average, reaching 2.16 tons per hectare.

Among the world's leading producers there are also Canada, Turkey, Ukraine, Australia,

Argentina, Kazakhstan, the United States and Iran, see Graph 2.

Brazil is only the 29th world producer of barley with 353.49 thousand tons produced in

2018, and according to Embrapa Wheat 53, the expansion of this crop being relatively recent

in the country. In addition, it is linked to the brewing industry initiative, which fostered

domestic production to guarantee supply, and by the increase of foreign product in the

1970s. Graph 3 presents the evolution of barley cultivation in Brazil from 1990 to 2018.

The observed evolution between the years 1990 and 2018 was possible, according to

Embrapa, due:

To official incentive for the construction of malts from the mid-70's, which made

possible the expansion of internal malting and grain storage capacity;

To financing and guaranteeing production prices; and

Finally, the intensification and diversification of the research developed by

Embrapa itself. This effort enabled adapted cultivars and development of ma-

nagement techniques appropriate to local climate and soil conditions.

CHAPTER 1 THE INDUSTRY OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES IN BRAZIL AND THE WORLD36

Between 1990 and 1995, the production oscillated above one hundred thousand tons.

From then on, it reached 200 thousand tons and increased until 2005, a year in which

the record harvest of almost 400 thousand tons was reached. Despite the good perfor-

mance observed in 2005, the 2006 harvest produced a volume 48.47% lower than the

previous one. According to the IBGE 55, this decline occurred due to the reduction of the

planted area, motivated by the low prices obtained with the previous harvest. As of 2010,

production resumed growth and reached the volume of 353 thousand tons in 2018.

For the period from 2006 to 2018, the harvested area grew moderately, rising from 90

thousand to around 112 thousand hectares, representing an accumulated growth of 24.33%.

For the same period production grew 71.76%. According to Embrapa 56, output growth

is explained by the increase of about 38.13% in productivity, reaching its record in 2016

with 3.92 tons per hectare.

Brazilian production is totally concentrated in the southern states of the country, basically

in Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul. In the 1990s, according to CONAB data, the state of Rio

Grande do Sul was the largest producer, 66.8% of production in the country, however, in

the following decade Paraná came to occupy this position with 49.8% of production. In the

period 2007-2011, 55.0% of the area under cultivation was concentrated in Paraná, which

contained 62.6% of the production, while in Rio Grande do Sul this area was 42.4% in Rio

Grande do Sul, with 34.9% of production. Regarding to the last harvest in 2018, Paraná

and Rio Grande do Sul were practically with the same area of planting of barley, about

55 thousand tons. However, the state of Paraná was more productive, responsable for

about 62% of the production, while Rio Grande do Sul had 37.4%. This difference occur-

red through productive performance, while the productivity of the 2018 harvest reached

around 3.94 tons per hectare in Paraná, in Rio Grande do Sul, it was only 2.38 tons/ha.

In terms of production yields, between 2015 and 2017, barley presented a negative profit

only in 2016, a year in which production was high and there was a greater supply of cereal

in the market. For the other years, 2015 and 2017, there was a positive profit, see Table 1.

1.2. PRIMARY PRODUCTION OF VINE - GRAPE

Brazil with its climatic diversity typical of a continental country managed to reach a com-

pletely original wine-growing. According to the Brazilian Wine Institute 59 (IBRAVIN), the

process of European immigration, combined with investment in innovation, resulted in

grapes that made possible a drink with a unique personality. There are different produc-

tion areas with diverse specialties.

The area of wine production in Brazil currently amounts to 79.90 thousand hectares. There

are more than 1,100 wineries scattered throughout the country, most of them installed

in small properties (average of 2 hectares of vineyards per family). Although present in

several Brazilian states and regions, production is concentrated in few federation units.

Approximately 90% of the national production is concentrated in Rio Grande do Sul, it

is mainly destined to the juice and wine industry and is basically produced by small far-

mers. In recent years, according to Embrapa 60, there has been the implementation of

Geographical Indications in Brazil, in this way viticulture has contributed to the develop-

ment of the territories involved, promoting aggregation of value to products and appre-

ciation of their respective natural inputs.

Analyzing the Rio Grande do Sul grape production between 2008 and 2018, it is pos-

sible to observe that there was a strong reduction in the 2016 harvest. In that year, the

total production reached little more than 300 thousand tons, including grapes (more

bitter and mainly for the production of wine) and common (more sweet, for food con-

sumption and the production of softer wines). According with Embrapa 62, has been one

of the most difficult crops in the industry in recent years. Climatic events such as frost

and excessive rainfall contributed to the whole state being affected, compromising the

productivity of the vineyards.

Despite the performance of 2016, the year of 2017 was one of greatest production for the

analyzed period. In addition, there was a positive profit for the producers. On average the

value of production exceeded costs, resulting in positive gain, see Table 2.

1.3. THE INDUSTRY OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES IN BRAZIL

The alcoholic beverage industry is important in several countries in the world, including

Brazil. The most recent IBGE 65 data show that between 2005 and 2014 there was an in-

crease of 48.41% in the production of this segment in Brazil, jumping from 10.73 to 15.93

billion liters, see Graph 5. This growth comes mainly from manufacturing of beer and

draft beer, which grew 56.88% for the same period, with production that was 9.22 billion

liters in 2005 jumping to 14.46 in 2014. The manufacture of wine, despite having a less

expressive rate, also showed growth for the period, rising from 293.37 million liters in

1995 to 344.45 million in 2015, an accumulated growth of 17.41%.

1.3.1. THE INDUSTRY OF BEER

In 2014 the production of beer and draft beer corresponded to 90.75% of the total vo-

lume of alcoholic beverages produced in Brazil, see Graph 5. The participation of this

sector, besides being the most expressive, has been growing over the years. It is possible

to observe not only the increase in beer production, but also the growth of the number

of breweries in Brazil, see Graph 6. In 2018, the total number of breweries registered in

Brazil was 889 establishments and a total of 16,968 products. In total, 210 new factories

were opened on average once every two days.

According to the Ministry of Livestock and Food Supply 67 (MAPA), the expansion has

been boosted by the production of specialty beverages, reflecting a change in the con-

sumption pattern of Brazilians, who have been seeking differentiated and higher quality

beverages. Among the 5,570 Brazilian municipalities, 479 have breweries, which repre-

sents approximately 10% of the total.

The increase in the number of breweries in Brazil, according to the Brazilian Association of

Artisan Beer 70 (Abracerva), is related to the possibility of diversification of the beverage,

which has adopted an artisan character, meeting an increasing demand of the consumer

market. According to Abracerva 71, these artisanal breweries tend to be smaller, have a

regional role and, although they employ a smaller number of employees in the aggregate,

have generated an expansion of the number of workers in this sector in Brazil.

The data analysis of hiring and firing show that between 2015 and 2018 factories with

more than 99 employees cut about 429 jobs, while companies with up to 99 employees

created 2,544 new jobs for the sector. The result is a net balance of 2115 more formal

workers in the industry. So, this result is a reflection of the increase in the national demand

for differentiated beers which, in turn, warms the domestic market and encourages the

increase of production, and also attracting new producers, see Graph 8.

Positive numbers regarding the labor market are not observed in the volume of sales of

the sector, see Graph 9. Although the consumption of artisanal beer has gained more

and more consumers over the last years, this specific niche of the sector is still modest.

Artisanal production accounts for about 1% of the volume and 2.5% of total industry re-

venue, according to ABRACERVA. In addition, the Brazilian Beer Industry Association 73

(CervBrasil), which brings together the 3 largest brands in the Brazilian market (Ambev,

Heineken and Petrópolis), estimates that the beverage produced by them was responsa-

ble for 95% of all Brazilian production in 2017.

In 2017, there was a reduction of 1.7% in total beer sales compared to 2016, when the value

of industrial production in the sector reached R$ 55.72 billion, see Table 3. However, ac-

cording to Nielsen 75 data, industry revenue grew by 1.6% over the same period. Part of this

growth was boosted by the 13% growth in premium and handmade beer sales. This fact

points to the change in consumption patterns, in which consumers choose to drink less,

but with better quality. That is, companies are losing sales volume, since the beverages

considered more common are being less consumed, but there is increasing demand for

more expensive labels of differentiated beverages.

CHAPTER 1 THE INDUSTRY OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES IN BRAZIL AND THE WORLD46

The special beers have contributed not only to the segment itself but also has affected the

alcoholic beverage industry as a whole. According to data from Euromonitor Internacional 77

, the consumption behavior of Brazilians have been changing over time and wine has lost

space for premium beers and artisans. In 2016, for every liter of wine consumed in Brazil,

four liters of premium beer was consumed, in 2011 that proportion was one liter of wine

to 2.7 of beer, a 49% increase in five years.

1.3.2. THE INDUSTRY OF WINE

The data from Euromonitor Internacional 78 still indicate that wine is not a product con-

sidered essential in the consumption basket of Brazilians and its consumption is directly

affected by the economic performance of the country. This behavior reveals that changes

in the price of the product or income of the economy directly affect the consumption of

the drink. Premium beers have become a substitute for wine, especially during the years

2015 and 2016 when Brazil experienced a severe economic crisis. Graph 10 presents the

evolution of Brazilian wine production between 2008 and 2018.

The national wine production between 2008 and 2018 maintained a balanced trajectory,

except for the year 2016, when there was a production about 57.82% lower than in 2015.

Climatic events, that impacted Latin American countries more strongly, contributed to a

decrease in the world production of grapes. In that year, the value of the industrial pro-

duction of wines reached more than R$ 1.28 billion, about 58% of the production value

of the grape industry, see Table 4.

But in the following year of 2017, national production showed signs of recovery and rea-

ched 752.50 million liters of the drink, about 150.58% more than the volume produced in

2017. Linked to this increase in production, and as the Brazil's economy began a process

of stabilization, there was also a 5.67% increase in wine sales when compared to the

previous year, according to the Brazilian Wine Institute (Ibravin). In 2018, the industry al-

ready employed around 200 thousand people along its production chain, handled more

than R$ 9 billion and had more than 1,100 formalized wineries.

CHAPTER 2 BRAZILIAN COMMERCIAL TRADE OF BEER AND WINE SECTORS52

The highlight is for China, the Asian country consumed about 54.29 billion liters of alcohol

in 2018. The value consumed by the Chinese is 78% higher than the United States consump-

tion of 30.50 billion liters. Despite being the third ranked in this ranking, Brazilian demand

is less than half the demand observed in the United States.

In addition, although China's absolute demand is the largest, when it is considered in

per capita terms the country loses positions in this ranking. The United States achieved

an average consumption of 93.8 liters per inhabitant in 2018, while for Brazil the volume

was 67.8 liters. The Chinese had per capita consumption of 39.3 liters. Germany is the

leader of this ranking, the per capita consumption of the European country reached a

volume of 140.9 liters of drink per inhabitant in 2018. The magazine BeerArt 82 surveyed

the number of awards that Brazilian craft beers received between 2007 and 2017 in the

foreign market. In 2007 there were only two awards, but this number grew year-by-year,

reaching 255 awards in 2017. This performance has generated more and more visibility

for the national beverage and collaborated with the increase of the external demand for

Brazilian artisanal beer.

2.1. COMMERCIAL TRADE OF BEER

Both absolute consumption and per capita consumption of alcoholic beverages change

between countries. Besides the type of drink consumed also changes according to the

geographical location. In the ranking of the largest consumers of beer, for example, the

first place is with the Czech Republic, where in 2017 consumed an average of 137.38 liters

of beer, see Graph 12.

The countries of Eastern Europe dominate the consumption of beer. The United States

is in the 12th position of the ranking in 2017, with 74.90 liters per capita. In total, US$ 281

billion was traded in the brewing market in 2017. In the list of the 15 largest world beer

consumers, Brazil is not even quoted, despite be the most consumed drink in the coun-

try. According to Statista data, the Brazilians consumed, on average, 65.27 liters of the

drink in 2017.

In addition, there is a change in consumption pattern in the national beer market. Consumers

have traded quantity for quality, giving room for the premium and handmade types of the

beverage, fostering the domestic market. Beer exports have also been growing in Brazil,

especially since 2014, some peaks can be observed, see Graph 13.

Between 1998 and 2018, Brazil remained in the category of net exporter of beer, reaching

its peak of exports in 2015. In 2018 the country exported around 10.59 thousand tons

of beer were exported through Brazil. The main destinations were the South American

countries. Paraguay, Argentina, Bolivia and Uruguay, that imported almost all the volume

exported by Brazil, both in volume and value, see Graph 14. Paraguay, the main destination

of the Brazilian beverage, responsable for 51.79% of the volume shipped, representing

about 55.26% of the marketed value.

2.2. COMMERCIAL TRADE OF WINE

Although not dependent on the external market for beer consumption, the same scena-

rio is not observed for wine. Between 1998 and 2018, the trade balance of the beverage

derived from the grape has been deficient. Brazil not only imports more than exports,

but imports have been increasing over the years, see Graph 15.

CHAPTER 2 BRAZILIAN COMMERCIAL TRADE OF BEER AND WINE SECTORS56

Despite the large volume of wine imported by Brazil, in 2018 the country was the 15th lar-

gest producer in the world and the fifth largest in the Southern Hemisphere, according

to the International Organization of Vine and Wine (OIV) 87. The country produces about

225 varieties of grapes responsible for the production of various types of wine. Brazilian

wine products are present in 59 countries and on 5 continents and about 90% of the vo-

lume exported originates in Rio Grande do Sul.

In 2018, Brazilian wine exports grew by 29.62% in volume and 19.67% in value, compared

to 2017. Meanwhile, for the same period, there was a decrease of 1.40% in volume and an

increase of 6.65% in value of the imports of the product.

The volume of imported wine far exceeds the sector's exports. While between 1998 and

2018, exports fell by 65%, imports in turn had a significant growth of more than 350%.

Much of this imported volume comes from Chile. The South American country provided

more than 30% of the volume and value of Brazilian wine imports, see Graph 16. In addi-

tion, Chile, Portugal, Italy, Argentina and France were the countries responsible for the

largest volumes imported by Brazil. Together these five countries were responsable for

about 90% of the volume and 87% of the value of the wine demanded by Brazil.

Among the countries that compose the ranking of the main exporters of wine to Brazil,

some are also great consumers of the drink. Portugal, Italy, Argentina and France are

among the ten largest consumers per capita in the world, see Graph 17. In 2018 the con-

sumption of these countries exceeded 30 liters per capita. France leads this ranking, the

European country had a per capita consumption of 45.10 liters in 2018.

3. BARRIERS TO THE COMMERCIALIZATION OF BEER AND WINE FROM BRAZIL

For the wine consumer market, the foreign predominance reached the mark of 86.3% at the

end of the first half of 2017, the highest index in the last eight years. The national beverage

was the remaining 13.7%, according to data from Ibravin. In 2011, imports were responsable

for about 78.8% of the Brazilian consumer market, while nationals for about 21.2%.

The advance of imports raises concerns for the sector, since, according to data from Ibravin,

more than 85% of the volume imported are products worth less than US$ 4.00, and the

largest quantities are brought by large retail chains. In addition, domestic products collect

much more taxes on production than imported products, generating an imbalance within

the sector. In addition to the retail chains, traditional importers/distributors and a group

of Brazilian wineries also have higher tax advantages than buying products from abroad.

In addition, in 2018 at least 173 countries imposed tariff barriers on wine with Brazilian

origin, see Figure 1. The presence of these barriers was stronger mainly in Egypt, but also

in countries such as India, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia.

Comparing the international trade of wine and beer of Brazilian origin, beer is taxed by

a smaller number of countries. In 2018, 134 countries imposed some tariff restriction on

beer originating in Brazil. The highest tariffs were imposed by countries in Africa and Asia.
