AB InBev Plans Additional Breweries in Mozambique, Nigeria

Anheuser-Busch InBev NV is readying new African operations as the world’s largest brewer continues its expansion on the continent after the blockbuster takeover of SABMiller. AB InBev intends to open its first brewery in Mozambique in the second half of next year after starting production in Nigeria later this month, Chief Executive Officer Carlos Brito told reporters in Johannesburg late Tuesday. The Leuven, Belgium-based company has also agreed to build a $100 million brewery in Tanzania, and is in discussions about tax policy in the East African country, he said.
