| description | This case study discusses the issues arising from Sime Darby Corporation being given a concession agreement to develop 220,000 hectares of land with palm and rubber plantations in Liberia for a period of 63 years.

It has large plantations in Malaysia and Indonesia. With land becoming scarce in Southeast Asia, Sime Darby looked for opportunities in Africa. They found a partner in Liberia which needed foreign
investment to revive its economy after two civil wars. While the opportunities looked great on papers, questions arose over the risks involved. |
