Russia to be cut off from Gummi Bear supply
Gummi Bears in “Grateful Dead” colorway.
German confectioner Haribo has reportedly announced plans to suspend supplies to Russia, as its recent economic difficulties there have been seriously aggravated by the military conflict between Moscow and Kiev.
“An already tough economic environment” in Russia has been recently exacerbated by the Russia-Ukraine strife, sending prices for primary produce soaring, supply chains changing and prices for logistics increasing, according to a message sent by the company to retail chains, as quoted by Russian business daily Kommersant.
Russia’s daily need of Haribo’s Gummi Bears will soon need to be satisfied by domestic production, say media analysts.
“The company’s management decided to suspend production for the Russian market until further notice,” the message, signed by Haribo CEO Walter Nikolaus, reads.
