Due to the nature of the market the Maltese brewing association and the only brewery in Malta were not in a position to participate in the research.
Consequently some assumptions had to be made for Malta to carry out the calculations. One of these assumptions is that the share of domestic purchases
of the Maltese brewery is similar to the share of domestic purchases of the Cypriot breweries.

The National Brewers’ Association of Malta was not able to provide more recent fgures. The fgures on production, consumption, imports and exports are 2007 fgures.
We have found no indications that there are also microbreweries active in Malta.
