Beer production in Ukraine (except for non-alcoholic with alcohol content up to 0.5% vol.) increased by 35.3% in January-April 2023 compared to the same period of 2022 – up to 38.1 million dal, according to the website of the brewers’ organization Ukrpivo.
It is also specified that during the first four months of 2023 in Ukraine 85.85 thousand tons of malt was produced, which is 2.3 times more than during the same period of 2022.
As reported, beer production in Ukraine in 2022 decreased by 27.9% compared to 2021 – up to 122.8 million dal.
“Ukrpivo” pointed out that by the end of 2022, the brewing industry has partially recovered after a 50% drop in the first quarter due to the Russian invasion and the shutdown of some breweries. Thus, at the end of the first four months of 2022 the decline was 42.8% against the same period of 2021, at the end of the first half – 32%, and for the first nine months – 30.5%.
