Supplier of Coca-Cola accused of "stealing land" the Guarani
The indigenous Guarani people asked Coca-Cola to stop buying sugar from Bunge, American power multinational implicated in a case of theft of land, in Brazil.According to a recent report by Oxfam, quoted by Survival International, Coca-Cola is buying sugar to Bunge, which in turn acquires sugar cane in "stolen lands" the Guarani to produce biofuel."While these companies profit, we are doomed to continue with hunger, misery and death," said a spokesman of the Guarani to Survival International. The Guarani community of Jata Yvary, Mato Grosso do Sul, is composed of 370 people. Already lost most of their ancestral homeland â€" the one that sells sugarcane to Bunge â€" and is forced to live in a small piece of land, completely surrounded by plantation.According to Survival International, the Aboriginal tribe suffers from serious health problems as a result of toxic pesticides of plantations. Now, she "cries" lost forest, from which derives part of its medicines, health and shelter."Farmers already have destroyed almost all the forests, our medicinal plants, fruits and resource. They spread pesticide from planes, our children are headache and begin to vomit, "said Arlindo, leader of the Jata Yvary.The land formerly occupied by the Guarani are now used to raise livestock, plant soybeans and sugarcane. "The Guarani are [to pay] by the growing world demand for biofuels", concludes the Survival International.
