John Deere Stops Shipping To Russia

The world has been witnessing another surprising turn of events as the tumultuous relationship between Russia and Ukraine has birthed the likelihood of World War Three. While most nations are going around condemning the war people's stance is also the same. The twenty-first century does not have a lot of space for death and destruction.

Following the saddening images of victims stuck in Ukraine that have been circulating on social media; many companies have decided to stop supplying their products to Russia. They have decided to close their markets in Russia, in a show of solidarity with the victims of the war. Since Russia's assault on Ukraine began on February 24, scores of merchants and firms, including McDonald's, Coca-Cola, and Starbucks, have closed their locations or ceased operations in Russia.

Recently, tractor giant John Deere has also stepped away from its' Russian market, choosing not to supply its products in the country. The company says that it is deeply saddened by the state of conflict that is existing. Moreover, the safety and security of their employees and personnel is their topmost priority. They hope to remain in communication with the affected teams in the regions and will try to provide as many resources as they can to help them. When the invasion began, Deere & Business's public relations director, Jennifer Hartmann, stated the company closed its sales office in Ukraine.

The manufacturer has one factory in Russia, the Orenburg site, which produces agricultural equipment, and a parts distribution center at the John Deere Domodedovo complex. Ukraine and Russia produce more than a quarter of the world's wheat, and demand for agricultural gear in both nations is often high during times of peace.

In 2002, the company expanded its farm, forestry, and construction operations in Russia, creating a forestry sales branch in St. Petersburg, followed by an agricultural sales branch office in Moscow, and other dealers across the nation.
