Baku. Nijat Mustafayev – APA-Economics. Azerbaijan-based main beer producer Baltika-Baku Company does not intend to increase the price of beer, said the Director General of the Company Adam Tlekhuray.

According to him, tourist inrush to Azerbaijan is expected due to Eurovision-2012: “At the same time, European Championship will be held in June, and the majority of football fans prefer to watch the football drinking beer. Taking these factors into consideration, we’ll increase the beer production, this year – from 3.2 mln dekalitres to 4.8 mnln dekalitres”.

Noting more expensiveness of beer in Azerbaijan than other countries Tlekhuray noted that, raw-materials for beer production are not grown up in Azerbaijan and the raw-materials are imported from abroad and this causes going of beer price up in the country: “We want farmers to grow the raw materials in the country”.
