The concern is shutting down dairy production, although it promised not to do so.
The French concern Danone has announced that it is withdrawing from the Russian market.
According to the company’s management, it intends to abandon the Russian production of dairy and vegetable products.
In a statement posted on the official website of Danone, it is said that the losses from this decision will amount to 1 billion euros.
Recall that the investment processes in the Russian Federation were stopped by the concern earlier, in March 2022. And in April, it stopped supplying the Evian and Alpro brands.
In the future, it is planned to transfer the business to Essential Dairy and Plant-based.
The French side stated that this option would suit its employees, consumers and partners, and would also contribute to the further work of the Russian branch.
It is known that Danone represents in the Russian Federation the brands “Prostokvashino”, “Activia”, Actimel, “Rastishka”, “Danissimo”, Danone, “Bio Balance”, “Actual”, “Smeshariki”, Alpro, Bebelac, “Rastishka”, “Theme”, Nutrilon, “Baby”, Evian. .
