Charoen Pokphand group stung by ‘bald mountain’ accusations
Embattled Charoen Pokphand (CP) Group will launch a social enterprise in Nan province to encourage farmers to grow cash crops other than maize, as a long-term solution to the problems created by deforestation, which has resulted in khao hua lone, or bald mountains. Suphachai Chearavanont, vice-chairman of CP Group, said the company would implement what he calls agricultural social enterprise in Pua district.
