more expensive per liter than returnable bottles, as you know, but the margin is, is less attractive than, than than bottle. So altogether, we are moving along with the, with inflation, along with, with our costs. Excellent and maybe on, on Chilean Market shares, I'm just wondering. I, I know this is difficult because Nielsen and the other surveyors are having a tough time delivering an apples-to-apples comparison, um, but just wondering how you're seeing the the market share picture in beer in Chile, given the distribution changes at your competitor. Thanks. Yes, maybe, you're right. I mean, Nielsen, it's not completely precise because they have, they have a good reading on what happens in supermarket, but not the best reading on what happens then in mom and pop. Having said that, um, uh, if you compare up our market in Q2, 2021, it's slightly higher than our market share in Q2, 2020. But I prefer to say that our market share has been stable in the, uh, in the last many months, as in, and years, and we have been able to, to cope against, uh, the competition with its new distribution. Excellent call, thank you. And, and you know what? I'll, I'll stop it here, so other analysts can ask questions. And maybe I'll get back on the queue, if they don't ask my third question. Thank you. Indeed. Thank you, Felipe. As a reminder, star, one if you would like to ask a question. We'll take our next question from Mohammed Ahmad with FGP. inaudible. Hi, guys. I hope you guys are all well. Um, thank you for taking my question. Um, just comparing to 2019, I know you, uh, you answered to Felipe that you're stable. So partly that question's answered already, but if you could confirm some of the volume changes versus 2019, Q2, actually first half 2019 versus first half 2021. Because even there, I see 18% growth, which is impressive, as you've given reasons for it. But I just wanted to know if, if the market has grown that much, or maybe in certain segments you've grown faster, uh, to, to get that in your numbers, particularly, you know, beer versus non-beer. Thank you. Yes, indeed. Looking the Chile operating segment, we grew our volumes. This is first half, no? Yes. Yes. First half, six months, inaudible, here I have it. Here, I have the, the answer, Mohammed. Yeah. Regarding, uh, regarding volumes from the Chile operating segment, this is non-alcoholic, beer, and spirits, first half of 2021, compared with the first half of 2019, we grew our consolidated volumes by 17.7%; in international business, by 2%; and in the wine operating segment, by 16.8%. And in Chile operating segment, that was a stable margin, so the market grew that much, so through stable market share? Yes, market share but in a sligh- with slight, slightly higher, and we have been rather stable in beer, growing a little bit on, on non-alco- on non-alcoholic. In fact, do, do we have the breakdown of these figures in, in beer- Yeah. and non-alcoholic here, gentlemen? I can inaudible it. inaudible. Let me check, but we have grown more in beer than in, than in non-alcoholic, having said that, because the per capita for beer has been, uh… Yeah. Growing, yeah. Yes. Yeah. But in both, in non-alcoholic and, and beer, we are growing, Mohammed, uh, against, uh, 2019. Yes. In fact, here, we here have in beer, we have grown in two years, roughly speaking, a little bit more than 40%. Okay. 2020- 20… Um, thank you guys. Quarter two. I know this… Uh, excuse me. This is quarter two, 2021 compared with 2019, quarter two, Yeah. And year-to-date, both, and year-to-date, 31. The first semester compared with first semester 31. Yeah. Uh, quarter compared with quarter 41. Yeah. Okay. Sorry the voice was breaking up a little bit, so am I to understand that you said beers grown 31% versus first half of 2019? Yes. Yes, and not alcoholic, roughly 11%. That's it. Yeah. Remember that, Mohammad, that non-alcoholic suffer much than beer last year also, mm? Okay. When are we also have spirits. crosstalk. inaudible. But we do not know crosstalk. Okay, inaudible. Hello? Hello, yes. Okay. I have it. That's okay. Thank you. I'll, I'll… Thank you very much for your answer. I'll get back in queue. Okay. Perfect, thank you. Once again, star, one for questions. We'll take a follow-up from Felipe Ucros with Scotiabank. Oh great, uh, thanks guys. So, so I can do a follow-up. Uh, maybe in Colombia you guys had very strong results on the operation with the, with, with a very strong rise in volume. So I was just wondering if you can give us a little more of color on what's going on in the ground there, in terms of market share, price, um, and maybe utilization of the plant. All those would be, uh, great if we could get some color. Thank you. Thank you, Felipe. As we mentioned, the, when we entered into Colombia, we design our plan for, our plant for 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 depending on mix volume or hectoliters of total volume. And we are running this year but a little bit more than two million hectoliters. Now, this is what we expect to sell in, in this year. So we have a 60% utilization of, of the plant. Um, we have been growing market share. As I mentioned before, margins are good in the, in the industry. Prices are growing in line with inflation. And again, we are doing our best effort to, to, to increase our volumes and to complete the, the capacity of the plant because if we do this, we will be having a good profitability. That was… We began this opera- operation, still our purpose, and we are moving in the right dire- direction. OK, great, thanks for the color, guys. Congratulations again. Thank you, Felipe. Remember that in Colombia we operate in those segments, beer and malt. Um, beer representing plenty, more than 80% of the total volume and malt less than 20%. When they say that this is the total volume, this is the total volume of the plant for both categories, beer and, and malt. And when I- Understood, Tha- thanks for the clarification. Okay. Good. Thank you, we'll take our next question from Antonia Weeman with Lorraine Val. Antonia Weeman, you can go ahead. Thank you for taking my question, but I was also want to know a little bit more about Colombia, but I think that everything is clear. <laugh> Thank you. Thank you Antonia. With no additional questions in queue, I'd like to turn the call back over to our speakers for any additional or closing remarks. Thank you very much. For closing, I'd like to say that during the second quarter of 2021 in a steel challenge scenario, due to the pandemic, CCU delivered a solid performance in volumes and financial results, improving versus both last year and pre-pandemic figures. Looking ahead, we'll continue investing in the key aspects of the business, in order to keep executing the strategy
