	Orangina gives AG Barr a hiccup (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		AG Barr, the Scottish drinks company, admitted yesterday that it could lose the right to produce Orangina because the brand's owner, Pernod Ricard, has agreed to sell it to Coca-Cola.
		Barr's finance director, George MacLaren, said he had no idea what would happen: "The whole thing is up for speculation." The company is confident that it will get "substantial compensation" if the existing contract is broken.
		AG Barr's profits were boosted by a fall in the price of the plastic used in bottles, and lower sugar costs thanks to the strong pound.

		This current state analysis suggests that there are no significant barriers to AG Barr entering the Brazilian market, particularly if it is considered as a long-term investment and if other parts of the company can sustain the impact of the potential challenges in the short-term.
		Most importantly the market size, youthfulness and growth prospects suggest that Brazil is an opportunity which AG Barr should consider not only for its own business expansion, but also as a possible platform for accessing the South American continent.
		AG Barr should be aware that according to KPMG a wide range of government incentives are available to start-up projects in Brazil and the use of these incentives is a significant feature of the Brazilian business environment.
