BANGKOK/HANOI -- Businesses across Southeast Asia have begun feeling the pain from Russia's invasion of Ukraine, forcing them to re-examine their approaches in a variety of sectors spanning agriculture to tourism.
Thailand's Charoen Pokphand Foods is among those suffering a major blow. It signed an agreement in August 2021 to acquire two Russian swine businesses for a combined 22 billion rubles, equal to about $300 million at the time.
