Kasongonomics - Kill anything that seems like it is still breathing!! One of the reasons companies are citing for leaving Kenya! Unpredictable (stupid) policies!!!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

In a move that could significantly reconfigure the competitive landscape of East Africa’s alcoholic beverage industry, British multinational alcoholic beverage giant Diageo Plc has initiated a comprehensive review of its majority stake in the publicly listed brewer, East African Breweries Ltd. (EABL). This strategic assessment, first reported by Bloomberg, signals a potential divestment from what stands as Diageo’s largest brewing operation on the African continent.
The writer of the above article has extensively covered
the topic.
wazuans have not discussed this rumored possibility, any opportunity to make some coins?
how long is it likely to take, any possibility by mid of 2026?
There are only two emotions in the stock market, fear and hope. The problem is, you hope when you should fear and fear when you should hope

Why don't EABL competitors set up their distribution networks?
If the distributors want out of the contracts with EABL, they should evoke the clauses that allow for an amicable separation.

Apple [Safaricom] was smart when it opened up its own stores. Controlling the value chain from manufacturing to retail [especially retail] is important. Apple stores are hugely profitable.

Mumias benefitted from branding their sugar which a step towards controlling their retail presence. A pity they screwed up.

Unga's products are "branded" so folks [like @VVS] look for "Unga" products. Unga has opened 2 retail "distribution" centers for some of their products. I hope they open more rather than relying solely on unreliable/competing distributors.


isn't this against anti trust rules? why force a distributor to only distribute eabl products? its not like eabl subsidizes these distributors anyway
Why should EABL subsidize the distributors who have "exclusive" territories? The distributors make a fixed amount per crate. I believe EABL does pay for branding the distributors lorries.

Coca Cola does not allow retailers to store "Pepsi" products in their branded fridges.

I think EABL should revoke the "exclusive" territories for those distributors who want to carry other brands. That allows all to prosper. Free market.

Bia Tosha has led the way. Kudos madam

EABL model is being tested again. The past warfare with Castle and Keroche was not fully sustainable
