In February 2012, the Cameroonian NGO Centre for Environment & Development (CED) published a report...regarding Herakles Farms (part of Herakles Capital) and its...subsidiary, SG Sustainable Oils Cameroon. The...report...raises concerns about...displacement of small-scale subsistence farmers from arable lands, food insecurity, lack of jobs sufficient to cancel the loss of farmland, environmental damage, access to water, and inconsistency and lack of transparency in environmental and social impact assessments...[It also] analyses the agreement between the company and the government, raising concerns such as...inconsistency of certain provisions with Cameroon's international legal obligations... [response by Herakles Farms provided] Update (Apr-Jun 2012): A Cameroonian lawyer...issued a rejoinder to Herakles Farms' response, accompanied by copies of two judgments by Cameroonian courts.
