Displaced Indigenous Community In Jambi, Indonesia

The Suku Anak Dalam community has endured a long-standing land conflict with the owners of the PT Asiatic Persada concession in Jambi, Sumatra, Indonesia. In 2013, in the middle of a conflict resolution process with the community, its then owner Wilmar sold the company to the Ganda Group, which has now abandoned the process. While Wilmar has a new policy to stop buying palm oil linked to deforestation and land conflict, it continues to do business with Ganda.

Greenpeace calls upon Wilmar, Ganda and all palm oil producers to work with communities to solve land tenure conflicts. The plight of the Suku Anak Dalam community is a first test of Wilmar's commitments to trade only 'No deforestation, no peatland, no exploitation' palm oil.
