Land disputes associated with Africa sugar often lead to long and costly delays. Our research finds 46% of disputes last over 10 years – and half of these are still unresolved today. In serious cases, disputes close projects down and severely reduce market access. Companies are failing to mitigate these serious risks because they lack the tools and data to make the business case for action.
The Quantifying Tenure Risk (QTR) initiative offers free support to businesses investing in African sugar to help them accurately assess tenure risk and develop corporate policies and programmes.
This briefing assesses the tenure risk in African sugar investments as identified by QTR.
