Deal #5868

"With communal violence spreading in Rakhine State, it is not expected that the concession will go ahead anytime soon.If violence ends in Rakhine, it is expected that the Yoma Mountain Range that passes north-south through the middle of the state - some of the area that the Vietnamese rubber concession is located in - will be targeted for agricultural concessions as it predominately listed as ‘wasteland’ on MOAI maps, despite generations of swidden cultivation in these mountains by local communities."
