soy Style Manual
Strong avoidance of social organizations, students and environmentalists on the agreement signed by the government of the province with Black River Beidahuang china company, which would be given more than 200 thousand hectares to produce soy, wheat, among other crops, along with a number of benefits, in exchange for spraying and land degradation.
(Red Eco) Black River - late last year, met the details of this "food production agreement, as presented by the provincial executive, led by radical K, Miguel Saiz, agreement that was being negotiated and discussed for almost a year with the Beidahuang Group (a conglomerate owned agribusiness. One of the biggest rice mills in China and one of the five largest processors of soybeans). Different organizations have
actually is - as explained by a report of the international nonprofit GRAIN - is neither more nor less than "a supply of land for industrial production of soybean with a huge list of benefits for the unconditional China's state companies in exchange for nothing. "
Here are some of the points raised by the government of Río Negro and the Chinese company (which as yet is not registered in the province operate as representative the unknown signature "Strong Energy"):
"The local executive is committed to providing free of charge for office space and housing," the home of the Provincial Government "also offer transportation and office equipment.
"To begin with, and without charge, the government will provide 3 000 hectares for the realization of an experimental field of high-yielding crops. From there, they "offer" in the near 20 000 hectares of "unexploited land available with the works of irrigation channels IDEVI Valley region." Then, it will provide information on 234 000 hectares in different valleys of the province for future exploitation.
-Black River's government will make all necessary arrangements to exempt the company from all provincial taxes, as gross income, stamps, patents, etc. According to GRAIN
realizes in his report, land grabbing exploded as a global problem from the years 2007/2008, "when food importing governments and companies on the hunt for profits began to purchase or lease large tracts of land in Africa, Asia and Latin America to produce food (...). Governments are functional to the requirements of other countries or companies to operate freely in the territories in which they arrive. There is no such community consultation, impact assessments or as the interests of the people are violated and trampled upon (...). And, of course, when within twenty years the company is removed, the land will be degraded and desert lands that future generations will inherit as clear evidence of the commitment of the provincial government with them. "
reactions were not wait. Various environmental specialists reported that this project is a "ecocide", and warned of the "high environmental and health impacts over a large area of \u200b\u200bnatural and low rainfall (200 mm annually) and limited resources of water availability.
Biological Association Comahue also expressed their complete rejection of the Agreement to criticize the progress of GM soy on Argentine territory and the serious impact they are having massive spraying with glyphosate in the territories and the health of communities. High school students in the cities of Viedma and Patagones expressed their opposition to mega soy, as it comprises 320 000 hectares of provincial and national heritage, "handing it unscrupulously in the hands of foreign invaders."
The Mapuche people also expressed their condemnation and advanced to take legal action: "The idea is to begin to file an injunction against the Justice to begin to stop, since none of cases are taken into account the rights of indigenous peoples, let alone the right to free, prior and informed. It is a right that is in the ILO Convention 169 and that Argentina has reaffirmed a law (the 24,071).
Meanwhile, the Permanent Forum for a Decent Life began a campaign entitled "NI SOY, AND CHINA. Territorial sovereignty and food for Argentina "(those who wish can send your membership by writing to nisojanichina@gmail.com This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view ) .
Although the number of rejections from different organizations that did arrive, is not among the plans of Governor Miguel Saiz to reverse this arrangement.
