Corona beer suspends production: Courtesy Coronavirus

Grupo Modelo announced that it will suspend production of Corona beer as it scales down production under orders from the Mexican government.



The brewer, which also manufactures Pacifico and Modelo brand beers, is reducing production work down to the minimum necessary to resume production when restrictions are lifted. They also released a statement explaining that production could resume “if the government considers it appropriate to issue some clarification confirming beer as an agro-industrial product.”



The brewer of Corona beer has suspended production because of the coronavirus pandemic. Fears of a shortage have prompted panic-buying, with the Mexican shops showing trolleys piled up with beer. However, the company suggested it could keep brewing beer if its operations were deemed to be agriculture, which is allowed.Grupo Modelo says.



The company is “ready to execute a plan with more than 75 per cent of our staff working from home and at the same time guaranteeing the supply of beer,” the statement said. As it stands, production will officially cease on Sunday. “Grupo Modelo announces that this Sunday it will complete the process of suspending its production and marketing operations for beer,” wrote Grupo Modelo, per a translation of a press release reported by Fox News.
