New palm oil frontier sparks scramble for land in the Brazilian Amazon
by Ana Ionova on 12 April 2021
Cultivation of oil palm has surged in Brazil’s northern state of Roraima over the last decade, fueled by an ambitious push towards biofuels.
While palm oil companies operating in the area claim they do not deforest, critics say they are contributing to a surge in demand for cleared land in this region, driving cattle ranchers, soy farmers and land speculators deeper into the forest.
As the demand for land increases, incursions near and into Indigenous lands that neighbor palm oil plantations are also on the rise.
