Loss Of 5,000 Acres Of Farmland In ZambiaLosing control of a sizeable farmland asset reduces the company’s upstream sourcing capacity, may trigger asset impairments and legal costs, and weakens long-term margin capture in the African supply chain. It signals execution and legal-risk exposure that can persist and impair growth plans.
