Suriname

Critics in Suriname are speaking out against plans for a public-private partnership to develop 113,465 hectares of rainforest for industrial agriculture in the district of Nickerie.

The corn will be grown in Makabana in the Republic of Congo on 4,981 hectares of Bio Agro land, under contract by ATG, and there are an additional 2,000 hectares available to ATG under the agreement.
