• Bayer, in March, said supplies for 2023 would be contingent on Russia stopping attacks on Ukraine
German biotechnology giant Bayer on Monday said it has decided to continue supplying Russia with essential agricultural inputs, reversing course from its previous comments.
In March, the company said supplies for 2023 would be contingent on Russia stopping its attacks on Ukraine.
In a statement, the world's largest seed and pesticide firm said that its move is aimed at "helping prevent what could become an unprecedented food crisis" and that access to Russian food is essential in this respect.
Bayer stopped all spending in Russia and Belarus not related to essential products and threatened to withhold essential supplies like seeds and pesticides if Moscow continued its "unprovoked attacks" on Ukraine.
