Asia-Pacific: Important future market

In 2006 Bayer posted sales of nearly EUR 13 billion on the European market – a good 40 percent of the Group total. A comprehensive distribution network along with major production facilities in Germany, Belgium, France, the U.K., Italy, Spain and Finland give Bayer a strong presence in this important economic region, which has a population of almost half a billion people in the 27 E.U. countries alone.
