A One District, One Factory (1D1F) project in the Obuasi Municipality, LEAPAB, which is into oil palm processing, is facing imminent collapse following the invasion of its oil palm plantation by alleged illegal miners.
Part of the 1,000-acre land that was leased by the Adanse Traditional Council to the company to grow oil palm to feed the factory has been invaded by illegal miners who have already destroyed large portions of the plantation.
The management of the company has expressed fears over the current development, saying it would derail the company’s plans and affect its ability to pay back credit it took to establish the processing plant and the farms.
