Ritter Sport continues to do business in Russia
Chocolate manufacturer Ritter Sport continues to supply chocolate to Russia despite the war in Ukraine.The company did not make the decision lightly, a spokesman said on Tuesday in Waldenbuch. A stop in deliveries would have the consequence that production would have to be drastically reduced, "and thus also have a serious impact on us as an independent medium-sized family business." Ultimately, cocoa farmers would also be affected.

Russia is an important market for the Swabian chocolate manufacturer. According to the company, its business in Russia accounts for around seven percent. However, it cannot go on as before, the spokesman said. Thus, Ritter Sport had already made and implemented the decision at the beginning of March "not to invest further in the Russian market as well as to stop advertising there." Initially, the "Stuttgarter Nachrichten" had reported on this./rwi/DP/jha
