About Coca-Cola (French Polynesia)
La Brasserie de Tahiti has held the Coca-Cola licence since 1959, which makes it one of the longest-running bottling arrangements in the Pacific. It produces and distributes Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola sans sucres and Coca-Cola Light in cans and bottles for the French Polynesian market, and lists Fanta and Sprite in the same soft drinks range. The brewery owns none of these names; the licence lets it make and sell them locally.
