Comply with environmental regulations or have licence revoked, Chinese farming firm warned
The Vientiane People’s Council has adopted measures demanding that a Chinese farming firm comply with environmental regulations or face the prospect of its investment licence being revoked.
The council’s resolution was adopted after the company, which was granted 160 hectares of land to grow bananas, sweetcorn and other crops in Sangthong district in 2014, was found using hazardous chemicals on its farm. The chemicals leaked into the Ton River, killing an estimated more than 300 kilograms of fish in November.
