The 5,488 ha Bindo-Bifoun (BB) concession was one of three concessions acquired in 2016 during OPGβs acquisition of SocietΓ© dβInvestissement pour lβAgriculture Tropicale (SIAT)βs palm operations in Gabon. The other two, MakoukΓ© and Bindo were already under palm at the time of the acquisition, and have been under either palm or rubber since the end of the 50βs.
Conversely, Bindo-Bifoun was undeveloped, except for approximately 600 ha in the southeast part of the concession that was cleared by SIAT between 2007 and 2013 and is now either under palm (347 ha) or is scrub or young regrowth vegetation (approximately 300 ha). On 10th June 2019, following Olam's letter to the RSPO on 8th April 2019 for clarification on the NPP, Olam has decided not to proceed with any new development in the proposed new planting area in BB. |
