Palm oil firms depriving tribes of millions of dollars - BBC News

Buy something in a supermarket and there's a good chance it will contain palm oil. Follow it back through the supply chain and eventually you'll find an oil palm tree, likely in Indonesia. But the companies that sell it to major firms like Johnson & Johnson, Kellogg's and Mondelēz are depriving indigenous communities of potentially millions of dollars of income, a joint BBC investigation has found.

I mostly track down as many products as best I can that use ‘illegal’ palm oil (as in the ones that also extensively illegally chopped down areas of forest to make them) as they’re more registered. One of them actually includes KitKat. As a result I haven’t had one of their products i think in years.

[@Shaun.Stephens]

Same. We didn't need massive amounts of palm oil before the 1980s so we don't NEED it now. If only more people were aware of, and cared about how their buying decisions affect other parts of the planet a lot of issues would be resolved.

If they have not been given what they were promised, i.e. in a verbal contract, then they should be compensated for all profits lost and the land returned to them. And those who commited the fraud should face legal consequences.

Sadly above is correct. When they had the clip of the guy saying “if they don’t follow the rules they can just sue them” (farmers suing big plantation owners)… impossible. Even if the farmers are in the right… who is going to foot the legal bill…

[@annbush1826]

The real question here is what is the name of the company which is destroying the lives of these workers. It is not Unilever, the giant British corporation which had established palm oil plantations in both Indonesia and Africa by 1950. Years of dev eloping improved healthcare for workers culminated in 2018 in an agreement with the Indonesian-owned palm oil company PTPN to support the local mills and smallholders to accelerate growth, Included were no deforestation, no exploitation of people or lands. A shadowy figure named Lieo Sieo Lions , created the largest conglomerate in Indonesia. He began by selling peanut oil, then flour, then had the contract to supply the Indonesian National Army’s soap. The news story does not name the company.

[@danielwhyatt3278]

I totally agree. Obviously, there is an argument that companies can be allowed to continue making profits, because that is the cornerstone of many capitalist societies, from the smallest to largest business. Starting from nothing and then eventually being able to earn more money for that you can have a comfortable life. There is an obvious argument about this that you then shouldn’t be allowed to put a cap onA company’s profits, otherwise they would then struggle to expand or innovate. But like you said, sometimes many types of companies can go too far and I just have an she’s stealing the money, rather than it being just simply out of the purchase of their products. This aspect needs to be balanced out, so if a company is shown to be not paying it’s fair dues, then there should be a profit cab for the money to go back to local communities and investments, until it is seen the company is clean again.
