Le groupe émirati Al Dahra, spécialisé dans l’agriculture à grande échelle, est en discussions avec le gouvernement kényan pour louer près de 81 000 hectares de terres agricoles situées dans une zone d’irrigation.
The negotiations come amid a backdrop of growing scrutiny regarding land leasing practices in Africa. Critics argue that large-scale land acquisitions by foreign firms can lead to land dispossession and adverse environmental impacts. It remains to be seen how Al Dahra addresses these issues.
Al Dahra will probably invest about $800 million to farm 200,000 acres [81,000 ha] of land at an irrigation development located in the coastal region, according to Kenya’s principal secretary for irrigation, Ephantus Kimotho.

Through its company, Acelen Renewables, the UAE's Mubadala Capital is building a biofuel refinery in the Brazilian state of Bahia which it will supply with 80 million macaúba trees planted on 200,000 hectares of degraded land. The macaúba is a plant native to Brazil with a high energy yield, meaning that the renewable diesel the project produces is projected to emit up to 80 percent less CO2 than fossil diesel. In addition, planting 200,000 hectares of trees would capture 60 million tons of CO2 over 20 years.
