Palm Oil and SGSOC Plantations in Cameroon
SG Sustainable Oils Cameroon (SGSOC) settled in south-west Cameroon in 2009 (they were owned by US based company Herakles Farms until early 2015). They illegally occupied National Lands, and began clearing forest and implanting palm nurseries prior to completing a social-environmental impact assessment, in violation of Cameroonian law. They also logged illegally.
In November 2013, they were granted a three-years provisional land lease by Presidential Decree to develop a palm oil concession of approximately 20 000 hectares – whereas their original plan was for 73 000. As their land lease expires in November 2016, Greenpeace and its partners launch a campaign for the Cameroonian government not to extend or renew this lease.
