Dinant Statement on Ceibita Way Property

Dinant has been made aware of reports of violence last Sunday in the vicinity of its Ceibita Way property in Lean, which has been illegally occupied by trespassers for an extended period. Due to this unlawful occupation, Dinant has had no access or control over the property since September 2022. Despite having no control over the Ceibita Way plantation and no knowledge of any activities there due to the absence of staff for two years, Dinant remains fully committed to cooperating with the Honduran authorities, including the police and Ministerio Publico, as they investigate these matters. As part of standard company policy, Dinant will also conduct an internal investigation. Many farms in the Lean and Aguan regions remain occupied by trespassers, including organized groups armed with weapons, who assault each other, steal produce, and threaten staff and local communities. Dinant, along with other affected businesses, has repeatedly urged the authorities to take decisive action to restore law and order. Unfortunately, despite these requests, the police have not yet taken action to evict the squatters. The ongoing land invasions are not isolated incidents but part of a broader problem severely impacting businesses in Northern Honduras. These illegal occupations disrupt local economies, jeopardize jobs, and deter essential future investments. Dinant is dedicated to working toward a peaceful and sustainable solution for the Aguan and Lean regions and invites third parties to join us in this critical effort.
