Lithuanian beer brewer eyes the Taiwanese marketStaff writer, with CNA, VILNIUSLithuania’s oldest beer brewer is exploring the Taiwanese market in the wake of a naming row over a newly opened Taiwanese representative office in Vilnius that led to a ban on products from the Baltic state in China. Horbacauskas said he is thrilled that Taiwanese like his company’s products. The skyrocketing sales might have something to do with a campaign launched by Taipei to support Lithuanian products, which have been boycotted in China. Recent measures have included recalling its ambassador to Lithuania, downgrading diplomatic relations, expelling the Lithuanian ambassador to China, as well as suspending direct freight rail services and banning Lithuanian products from entering the Chinese market. Horbacauskas said that the company’s products entered the Chinese market seven years ago.
