Beer And Malt Prices Set To Rise: NB And Guinness Announce Price Hike
It’s time to budget a little extra for your favorite chilled drinks. Two of Nigeria’s biggest beverage giants, Nigerian Breweries (NB) Plc and Guinness Nigeria Plc, have officially announced that they are raising the prices of their products across the country.
This means that popular brands like Star, Gulder, Maltina, Heineken, Guinness Stout, and Malta Guinness will soon cost more at local spots and shops within Okene and surrounding areas.
In letters sent out to their distributors, both companies pointed to the "biting" economic situation in Nigeria. They cited several key reasons for the hike.
It’s becoming more expensive to source the ingredients used for brewing.
The rising cost of diesel and logistics is making it harder to move drinks from factories to our local depots.
Because many machines and ingredients are imported, the falling value of the Naira has hit their pockets hard.
High electricity and gas prices are driving up factory expenses.
The companies explained that these changes are necessary just to keep their doors open and ensure that drinks continue to reach the market.
Industry experts say the brewing sector is one of the hardest hit by inflation. For consumers in Ebiraland, this means retailers and "cool joint" owners will likely adjust their prices as soon as the new stock arrives from the distributors.
The new price structure is expected to take effect nationwide in the coming days. If you're planning a ceremony or a "sit-out" soon, you might want to check with your local supplier for the latest rates.
