What's wrong with Palm Oil, says he, surrounded by 2,500,00 palm oil trees, and 10,000 people employed directly or as contractors, while elsewhere in PNG unemployment is probably 60% plus.

Might be some thing to with with the devastating deforestation that happens before they re plant with palms.

I've not found a variety of Tim Tams I don't like. I'll keep trying though, just in case. :D

Also it can be that
The U.S. government has highlighted the prevalence of human-rights abuses in the palm oil trade: A 2012 U.S. Department of Labor report found that among the industries most notorious for forced and child labor were apparel, seafood, gold, and palm oil. But because palm oil companies face little pressure from consumers to change, they continue to rely on largely unregulated contractors, who often use unscrupulous practices.

Then again it can be the result of a nine-month investigation of the industry, including interviews with workers at or near 12 plantations on Borneo and Sumatra—two islands that hold 96 percent of Indonesia’s palm oil operations—revealed widespread abuses of basic human rights. Among the estimated 3.7 million workers in the industry are thousands of child laborers and workers who face dangerous and abusive conditions.
Oviously if child spavery it is not important there is not much hope for fewer than 400 Sumatran tigers remain in the wild. They and the Sumatran orangutan may have less than 5 years left before they are extinct.
Not to mention the plants in the 40 percent of Indonesia’s rainforests that have been logged over in the last half-century, mostly to clear the way for palm oil plantations.

I reckon best news since rover announced Landrover in 1948.:)

I have to say though that I don't mind the odd Tim Tam or two(packets) but they have to come from the freezer.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Tim Tams, We sell them, I might just have to chuck a packet in the freezer for after tea.

I wonder what we are growing then, we get audited twice a year, environmentally, Ok, everything is planted on land that was either coconut plantation, logged or wiped out by an eruption in 76. Minimum age of hire is 18, and last night the tigers didn't eat me.
But then this is aurlo where wild arsed generalizations rule.

And no Tim Tams within a 1000 km :mad:

Sorry for rant, we are a responsible company and the above generalizations wind us up badly.

Are you in Borneo or Sumatra or your company is in PNG ?
Did I mentioned PNG?

Have a nice day ;)

Sustainable management of soil and water resources for oil palm production systems in Papua New Guinea (2011-2014) (http://research.jcu.edu.au/research/tess/people/staff/Nelson_P/Sustainable_oil_palm_PNG)

Quote:

Although Papua New Guinea is a tiny palm oil producer by world standards, palm oil is the country’s most important agricultural export earner. Papua New Guinea is unique among palm oil-producing countries in that all its producers (2 companies and 18,000 smallholders) are environmentally accredited through the Roundtable of Sustainable Palm Oil. In this project we are producing indicators of environmental sustainability that will be useful for underpinning accreditation and which are scientifically valid.

See Andy we are not to bad here in AULRO when we posts our views ;)
.....and we read different sources of information as well :)

Cheers

[AndyG]

More importantly, still no Tim Tams within a 1000 km.:(

Have a good one
