sp reacting to to RNS confirming funding available to develop their palm oil concession in Liberia.

nothing can be described as sustainable when huge swathes of (rain)forest are destroyed to allow planting of more oil palms - as in Ivory Coast!

Cynic your beginning to sound like Fred.

" Equatorial Palm Oil plc (AIM: EPO) the Liberia, West African focussed sustainable oil palm plantation developer "

in truth aldo, this company is rather too small for my liking, having a cap of barely 20m .... but does destroying rainforest for a plantation de facto mean that it is non-sustainable? ... an interesting philosophical question

Maybe a bid for PAL's land bank ?

From a poster on the iii website.

What got me going on this company was the future peer to peer comparison, its location to the EU, its sustainability and its enormous potential to expand its plantation. None of the other producers have as much land as PAL do. Theyve installed the mill and expect production in January, this along with the good news of the joint venture to double up production means a good 2011 on the cards.

These are looking cheap.

Should reach 30p this week
