As development banks gather for a global summit, organisations condemn the financing of corporate agribusiness and plantations, and call for public investment in agroecology and local food systems to tackle the climate crisis.
公共開発銀行は、「公共」の意味するところからも、その名に相応しい「開発／発展」のいかなる議論からも、著しく遠いところにあります。これらの金融機関は、私たちの存在そのものの根幹を成す食と農において、企業によるアグリビジネスへの投資を集中させています。彼らは、それ以外のモデルをサポートするために設立されておらず、そうするための能力も持ってはいません。
European MPs issue an interparliamentary statement on the “Finance in common summit”, calling on public development banks to stop "harmful investments", such as those in the oil palm plantation company Feronia in the DR Congo.
Le Centre d’Etudes Pour l’Action Sociale (CEPAS) organise du 09 au 11 Novembre les journées sociales autour du thème : « l’accaparement des terres, défis du foncier en RDC »
The Feronia case, and other development bank investment failures, shows that there is a need to overhaul development finance institutions practices and to consider whether it might be better to just shut them down entirely.
Feronia announces that it has entered into a definitive purchase agreement with Straight KKM 2 Ltd that provides for the acquisition of its operating subsidiary, Plantations et Huileries du Congo.
While palm oil companies present themselves as benevolent donors during the pandemic, communities living in and around these plantations tell another story.
Le RIAO-RDC est très préoccupé de la vente/transfert de la majorité des actifs de Feronia-PHC par la banque de développement de la Grande-Bretagne à une entité à l’Île de Maurice gérer par une société de capital-investissement.
The communities have already introduced traditional and artisanal palm oil harvesting and production systems for the abandoned areas.
Après l’annonce de l’abandon de certaines plantations, les communautés ont introduit des systèmes de récolte et de production de huile de palme artisanaux et traditionnels.
The debt-ridden oil palm plantations company operating in the DR Congo announces that it is pursuing a restructuring plan that includes a sales process and potential liquidation.
Human Rights Watch found that DFID's CDC Group failed to ensure that the palm oil companies it finances in the DR Congo respects the basic rights of the people who work and live on or near its plantations.
