It includes the contribution made by breweries and pubs, beer sales through the wider hospitality sector, and activity supported throughout retail and industry supply chains. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also provides detailed estimates for Scotland\u2019s electoral regions and individual Holyrood constituencies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Across Scotland\u2019s electoral regions, the sector supported an average of approximately\u00a0\u00a3309 million in GVA, 8,000 jobs and \u00a3161 million in wages, underlining its strategic importance to communities in every part of the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emma McClarkin, Chief Executive of the Scottish Beer and Pub Association, said: \u201cThis report puts beyond doubt the enormous contribution that Scotland\u2019s beer and pub industry makes to our economy and our communities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe sector supports more than 64,000 jobs, generates almost \u00a32.5 billion for the Scottish economy and pays nearly \u00a31.3 billion in wages. These are jobs and investment spread throughout Scotland, from our largest cities to our smallest rural and island communities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPerhaps most striking is the role the industry plays in providing opportunities for young people. For thousands of Scots, a pub, brewery or hospitality business offers that crucial first step into employment, helping them to build skills, confidence and a lasting career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut we cannot take this contribution for granted. Scotland\u2019s pubs continue to face intense pressure from rising costs, taxation and an increasingly complex regulatory environment. The closure rate for pubs in Scotland has been more than 50 per cent higher than in England, putting jobs, investment and valued community venues at risk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe need both the Scottish and UK governments to recognise the economic and social return that comes from supporting beer and pubs. Holyrood must deliver a fairer and more sustainable business rates system and avoid placing further unnecessary costs on businesses. Westminster must ensure that beer duty, employment taxes and the wider tax burden allow pubs and breweries to invest, grow and create jobs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith the right support from both governments, our sector can continue to drive economic growth, provide opportunities for young people and remain at the heart of communities across Scotland.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scotland\u2019s beer and pub industry contributed almost\u00a0\u00a32.5 billion to the Scottish economy last year, a new report shows.
