Comment on negotiation status
Expansion of 24,000ha near Guitry still needs to be signed, however a provisional agreement for these lands has been signed between Dekel Oil and Ivoire Agro Development (IAD). IAD claims to have control over the land from agreements established between the communities and the company. However, the communities deny giving their land rights to Dekel Oil and deny having a contract in place with IAD. Objective is to get the contract signed and bring the project into operation in 2016.
