制药巨头拜耳（此前收购了孟山都）称正密切关注着植物肉市场，有可能作为替代蛋白质生产商分一杯羹。

Pharmaceutical giant Bayer, which owns Monsanto, has said that it is closely watching the plant-based meat market, and that it could potentially enter the market as an alt protein producer.

据路透社报道，在St. Louis, Missouri的一次投资者会议上，分析师们对植物肉的兴起是否会对拜耳业务产生影响提出问题。对此，拜耳的研发主管Bob Re iter发表了评论。

According to Reuters, Bayer’s head of research and development, Bob Reiter, made comments during an investor meeting in St. Louis, Missouri, when questioned by analysts about the impact of the rise of plant-based meat on Bayer’s business.

“他们正在采购不同的作物，作为一家植物育种公司，这也可能是在为我们创造机会。”

“They are sourcing different types of crops and that also could create opportunity for us, being a company that is a plant-breeding company,”

said Reiter, who works for Bayer’s crop science division

拜耳在2017年以570亿美元收购孟山都后，便控制了全球29%的种子和24%的农药。鉴于此前孟山都有争议的道德标准，这将导致一些素食主义者批评他们进入维根市场的这一举动。例如，拜耳在他们的网站上描述了在实验中使用动物的情况。人们也可以把农药的使用作为公司似乎不符合素食主义或环保问题的另一个案例。

When Bayer bought Monsanto in 2018, for a reported $57 billion, it took control of 29% of the world’s seeds and 24% of its pesticides. Its debatable ethics code will lead some vegans to criticize its possible entrance into the vegan marketplace. On their website, Bayer describes its use of animals in experiments, for example. One might also look into the use of the pesticide Roundup as another case where the company does not appear to align with veganism or environmental concern.
