Summary
A positive economic situation boosted consumer confidence and facilitated volume increases in the beverage industry despite an atypically cold July, and an average August and September. Russias embargo continued on Latvias milk products, leading to milk price reductions, which further boosted volume of dairy consumption. Excise duty was increased on alcoholic beverages in August however the full effect of this is yet to be seen.
