Villagers in southern Laos’ Saravane province are refusing to hand over community land to a planned Chinese banana farm, saying if they lose their land they will have no way to feed their families.
the farm is the largest modern farm in Nigeria with ten thousand hectares with a projection to produce 120,000 metric tons of rice per annum and other farm produce like maize.
