More than 2,000 families have been affected and at least 3,000 hectares misappropriated for logging by three sugar plantations in the north Cambodian province of Oddar Meanchey, according to a report released Monday.
“Cambodia: The Bitter Taste of Sugar,” found that although Angkor Sugar Company, Cambodia Cane and Sugar Valley Company and Tonle Sugar Cane Company were granted almost 20,000 hectares in concessions in 2008, with the purpose of producing sugar, 17,000 hectares have been illegally grabbed and 214 families forcibly evicted from their homes and land.
