El Salvador The highest wages in the Coca-Cola/SABMiller value chain are earned by those working in the formal sector, including employees at the sugar mills, those who work at the bottling company and owners of depositos (distribution warehouses in rural and urban areas). These employees showed a very healthy purchasing power, often above the national average. Retail owners also earn a relatively high average monthly income, one that is higher than the national mean income. Sugarcane workers earn average incomes that are just above the minimum wage and about three times rural basic nutritional basket (per capita). Sugar producers and sugar mill workers earn incomes above the sugar refinery statutory minimum wage. However, some distributors, retail employees Figure 11: Sources 1 Source: 2007 CSO Quarterly Employment and Earnings Inquiry 2 Jesuit Centre for Theological Reflection’s Social Conditions Programme which reported take-home pay of between K3000 and K15000.

Zambia Workers in the formal sector consistently earn above the poverty line, minimum wage and mean income. Zambian Breweries staff, micro-distribution center (MDC) owners and small-scale farmers receive some of the highest incomes. Sugarcane harvesters, temporary workers, MDC employees and truck drivers earn the least. Exploring the links between international business and poverty reduction 49
