Adelaide's limoncello brand Ambra has successfully raised nearly $700,000 through crowdfunding, with notable investment from cricketer Adam Zampa. This surge in funding comes as the brand reports a significant revenue increase, highlighting the growing interest in niche beverage markets.
Fonterra has reported impressive financial results, with a 15% revenue increase to $22.93 billion and a 13% rise in operating profit to $1.5 billion, driven partly by its divestment from Mainland Group. This performance underscores the company's resilience and strategic focus amid market changes.
In a contrasting development, Gold Coast's Sobah, a pioneer in non-alcoholic craft beer, has entered voluntary administration after four years of operation. The founders remain committed to the brand's future, emphasizing their determination to navigate this challenging phase.
Meanwhile, Innovation Beverage Group's stock has surged following news of a merger plan with BlockFuel Energy, indicating strong market confidence in the potential synergies between the two companies.
