Bayer-Monstanto Merger Moves One Step Closer
09.14.16
Statement from Wenonah Hauter, Executive Director, Food & Water Watch
Washington, D.C. — “Today, Bayer announced it has agreed to buy Monsanto, another devastating merger that’s bad for farmers, the environment and consumers. Consolidation in the agrochemical industry means that farmers get paid less for their crops, more pesticides are used and there are fewer options for consumers at the grocery store. It’s past time for the Department of Justice to do its job and enforce anti-trust measures to support healthy competition in the ag industry.”
