Malt Market Overview

The demand for malt in Brazil has been growing steadily in recent years, as the country's brewing industry has expanded. This has put pressure on local malt suppliers, leading to higher prices.

In addition, there has been a growing demand for craft beer in Brazil, which has led to higher prices for malt. The Brazilian economy has also played a role in malt prices, with inflation and currency fluctuations making imported malt more expensive.

The situation has caused some difficulties for Brazilian brewers, who have had to either absorb the higher costs or pass them on to consumers. However, many brewers have been able to offset the impact of higher malt prices by using other cost-saving measures. For instance, some have switched to using less expensive local ingredients or have increased their use of adjuncts.
