100,000 hectolitres as a result of an extension of the tank cellar and the commissioning

under review in order to meet the demand.

Zaire
The brewery group Brasseries, Limonaderies et Malteries du Zaïre 'Bralima' S.A.R.L.
comprises five breweries which are located at Kinshasa, Boma, Kisangani, Bukavu
and Mbandaka. The brewery at Mbandaka was completed in September 1972.
Sales of beer and lemonade have risen considerably during the past financial year.
The brewery at Kinshasa has now reached an annual output of more than 1 million
hectolitres of beer.
As a result of the increasing demand for the products of the enterprise, work has
started on a substantial programme of capital expenditure.
The growing demand for beer enabled the bottle factory Bouteillerie de Kinshasa
'Boukin' S.A.R.L., of Kinshasa, which operates for the whole brewing industry in
Zaire, to show a considerable rise in turnover once again this year. Sizeable invest
ments will be necessary in the years ahead in order to continue to meet the demand.
