TAILIEUCHUNG - The human rights impacts of oil palm plantation expansion in Indonesia

The current production of rubber is million tonnes per year and export is million tonnes per year. The remnants are domestically used. The important trading partners of Thailand are China, Japan, Malaysia and USA. The rubber price during 1999-2003 gradually decreased from 1998 until 2000. The government had to interfere in the mid-2000. However, the rubber price has been increasing since the end of 2000 due to the world demand and expansion of world economy. The rubber plantation industry is dominated by the small holding sector accounting for 95% in terms of area. Ninety percent. | Losing Ground The human rights impacts of oil palm plantation expansion in Indonesia A report by Friends of the Earth LifeMosaic and Sawit Watch February 2008 Losing Ground February 2008 Indonesia is a uniquely diverse country whose communities and environment are being sacrificed for the benefit of a handful of companies and wealthy individuals. This report should help the Indonesian government to recognise that there is a problem and to step up efforts to protect the rights of communities. In Europe we must realise that encouraging large fuel companies to grab community land across the developing world is no solution to climate change. The EU must play its part by abandoning its 10 per cent target for biofuels. Serge Marti LifeMosaic - Author of Losing Ground Oil palm companies have already taken over million hectares of land for plantations resulting in 513 ongoing conflicts between companies and communities. Given the negative social and environmental impacts of oil palm Sawit Watch demands reform of the Indonesian oil palm plantation system and a re-think of plantation expansion plans. Abetnego Tarigan Deputy Director Sawit Watch This report shows that as well as being bad for the environment biofuels from palm oil are a disaster for people. MEPs should listen to the evidence and use the forthcoming debate on this in the European Parliament to reject the 10 per cent target. Instead of introducing targets for more biofuels the EU should insist that all new cars are designed to be super efficient. The UK Government must also take a strong position against the 10 per cent target in Europe and do its bit to reduce transport emissions by improving public transport and making it easier for people to walk and cycle.
