Comment on former land owner
Kilombero Plantations was earlier a joint venture between RUBADA and North Korea from the late 1980s until 1994. When the North Koreans left, ‘squatters’ moved onto the land. RUBADA has given all the ‘squatter’ families three acres and is building them houses in lieu of the land needed for the investment

The flood plain has very high ecological and biodiversity value and comprises a myriad of rivers, which make up the largest seasonally freshwater lowland floodplain in East Africa. The area, which includes KPL’s plantation, has been added to the RAMSAR convention of wetlands of international importance.
