PepsiCo sells off dairy farms in Russia

Like a shook-up can of Pepsi, PepsiCo company is bubbling over with plans for its Russian operations. After four relatively quiet years since taking over leading dairy producer Wimm-Bill-Dann (WBD), PepsiCo has announced it is to ‘quit the farm’ – focusing solely on processing.

The IUF together with its members in Russia will try to understand the impact of the sale on the workers employed in dairy farms, farmers as well as the milk supply and pricing.
