For now, most U.S. hemp oil imports come from Canada. But African nations have joined the growing list of producers. NBC News found operating farms in Uganda, Lesotho, Swaziland and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
"The road to my new rainforest," she commented on one photo on Instagram. For another, she wrote"I have now been to the rainforests of Cameroon to see all I now own … Its stunning and massive and literally in the middle of absolutely nowhere." On June 1, 2016, Cameroon's National Office of Free Industrial Zones granted the plantation streamlined customs approvals, tax exemptions and simpler visa procedures for foreign workers.
But an NBC News investigation found that much of that list may be bluster, and that the project seems to have sputtered to a halt in 2016, though Pawar insisted the project is still going forward. One Kuwaiti businessman not mentioned as an investor in the PowerPoint list, Faisal Almutairi, invested at least $250,000 in Trade Park in 2015, and later threatened legal action against Trade Park, trying to get his money back and charging Trade Park's business plan was"nothing less than science fiction."Meanwhile, in Meyomessala, local residents have yet to see the desperately needed jobs and investment that had been touted.
He wrote that he depleted"significant political capital" and had lobbied the"head of state, first lady, other senior government officials, and members of his local community" for the plantation. Among other promises, Trade Park pledged to build an employee health care center and an academic institute, plus improve local infrastructure, according to an unsigned contract.
