The company notes that the war threatens global food security – especially for those who depend on exports. In response to Russia’s attack on Ukraine, AGCO suspended new machinery shipments to Russia and Belarus two weeks ago. All sanctions will be complied with.
“Our hearts go out to the people of Ukraine and everyone directly affected by this war. We’ll keep taking action to prevent this humanitarian crisis from turning into a global hunger crisis,” the company said.
The AGCO Foundation (AAF) announced a $100,000 donation to the US World Food Program (WFPUSA). The funds will go toward food aid for Ukrainians who have suffered from Russian aggression. The World Food Programme at the UN overall plans to raise $570 million to help Ukraine.
