But lets assume that it wasn't true that it cost money to hold supplies...what is better $100,000 in sales with a 10% margin or $1,000,000 in sales with a 5% margin?

I believe that about anything can be manipulated....
If I know how they did it or not.........
As I said I believe they would not have to do all that storage etc. Simply (artificially) restricting supply would accomplish it..
Suppliers, distributors, wholesalers can accomplish this especially in a smaller country were there may not be lots of sources/alternatives that are viable.......
The details are not given in the article so I/we do not know the details but I believe it could be done easy enough... If it is through beer distributors, growers associations or whatever.........
