IDG AGRI an Unparalleled Timber and Agri- Business Opportunity in West Africa IDG AGRI an unparalleled timber and Agri- business opportunity in west africa Investor Presentation March 2014 IDG AGRI Pan-African Food & Fuel Investment opportunity IDG overview Project description „The time has come for African agriculture. Southeast Asia has become crowded, competitive, and expensive for doing agribusiness, chipping away at profit margins. We see higher profit potential in Africa for exports – and for domestic sales.“ New foreign investor in Africa World Bank Report on Agribusiness Africa 2013 2 IDG AGRI Pan-African Food & Fuel The unique investment opportunity • IDG is building a formidable food & fuel leader out of Africa, creating one of the largest palm oil and sugarcane farms across West-Africa. • IDG established outstanding relationships with Presidents, key Ministries, local chiefs and landowners as prerequisite for a sustainable business operation. • IDG acquired more than 300.000 hectares of highly suitable lands in several west-african countries, with initial focus on Sierra Leone and Nigeria. • In Sierra Leone, IDG signed longterm lease concessions for min. 124.000 ha of superior land for palmoil/sugarcane farming and biofuel refinery. • Initial assessment by expert team also evidences rich existence of virgin forrests of Mahagony, African Redwood, African Teak (Iroko), Sapele and some Walnut and Teak. • Lands provide excellent infrastructure access through established main roads and are in proximity to large deep water ports. • Overwhelming local community support for the project. • Wood logging and export permits in Sierra Leone are secured. • The unparalleled are size, the perfect climatic conditions, the high quality of the african soil and hardwood types, the strong access infrastructure, the easy export through near-by ports, the full legitimacy of the operations and the positive local community support confirm the unique business opportunity. • Strategic investors are offered the sales of 100% of IDG‘s timber extraction rights and/or a 50% stake in IDG‘s agri-business operations. 3 Our core business: Creating a leading IDG AGRI Pan-African Food & Fuel food & fuel player out of Africa • Become a major global producer of sustainable palm oil and sugarcane 100N • Secure west-african territories as one of the world‘s last frontier for suitable farms (within +-70 of Equator) • Leverage the climatic advantages and large landbanks to diversify into Equator vegetable oils, sugar and bio-fuel • Unique country and product diversification as competitive advantage 0 • Use the geographical benefits to cost- 10 S efficiently serve the domestic and western markets • Advanced agricultural concepts to ensure superior eco-sustainability 4 IDG AGRI Pan-African Food & Fuel Our value business model IDG AGRI Establish Africa‘s best-run and greenest Support West-Africa in transforming into an agri food&fuel player agri powerhouse again Produce Process Refine Oil Palm Green Food Sugarcane Green Fuel Transport & Store • Diversify crops • Integrated, large-scale, low-cost value chain • Diversify products • Diversify regions • Best-in-class management partners • Diversify markets • Expand volumes • Realize scale and synergies • Expand volumes Superior Sustainability 3600 Sustainable Farming 3600 Bio-Energy 3600 Engagement Innovation to stay ahead • Responsible land expansion • Biomass utilisation • Community Empowerment Fund • R&D Center • Meet/exceed RSPO principles • Waste Management • Smallholder Empowerment • Strategic Research partnerships • Low-Input Sustainable • Carbon credits • Bottom-to-Top communication • Technology partnerships 5 Agriculture IDG AGRI Pan-African Food & Fuel The challenge • Exploding global demand for vegetable oils, sugar and biofuel creates massive supply gap and pushes prices up. • Consumption of palm oil and sugar expected to double over the next 10 years due to population growth and growing middle classes. This also drives massive need for wood for house construction. • Steep growth in Biofuel consumption as more countries introduce blending fuel legislation. Political instabilities in Crude Oil exporting countries drive search for alternatives. • Shortage of land in traditional palm oil and sugarcane markets, such as Malaysia, Indonesia and Brazil, drvien by protectionist policies, stop of illegal cultivation policies, environmental desasters and limited suitable land. • Weather phenomenon having an impact on supply as evidenced by the recent droughts in Brazil and California. • Banning of illegal farming and logging practises around the world. 6 The macro-economic commodity IDG AGRI Pan-African Food & Fuel drivers are well-known...

  • The Chiefdoms of Sierra Leone
    The Chiefdoms of Sierra Leone Tristan Reed1 James A. Robinson2 July 15, 2013 1Harvard University, Department of Economics, Littauer Center, 1805 Cambridge Street, Cambridge MA 02138; E-mail: [email protected]. 2Harvard University, Department of Government, IQSS, 1737 Cambridge Street., N309, Cambridge MA 02138; E-mail: [email protected]. Abstract1 In this manuscript, a companion to Acemoglu, Reed and Robinson (2013), we provide a detailed history of Paramount Chieftaincies of Sierra Leone. British colonialism transformed society in the country in 1896 by empowering a set of Paramount Chiefs as the sole authority of local government in the newly created Sierra Leone Protectorate. Only individuals from the designated \ruling families" of a chieftaincy are eligible to become Paramount Chiefs. In 2011, we conducted a survey in of \encyclopedias" (the name given in Sierra Leone to elders who preserve the oral history of the chieftaincy) and the elders in all of the ruling families of all 149 chieftaincies. Contemporary chiefs are current up to May 2011. We used the survey to re- construct the history of the chieftaincy, and each family for as far back as our informants could recall. We then used archives of the Sierra Leone National Archive at Fourah Bay College, as well as Provincial Secretary archives in Kenema, the National Archives in London and available secondary sources to cross-check the results of our survey whenever possible. We are the first to our knowledge to have constructed a comprehensive history of the chieftaincy in Sierra Leone. 1Oral history surveys were conducted by Mohammed C. Bah, Alimamy Bangura, Alieu K.

  • A Sub-National Case Study of Liberal Peacebuilding in Sierra Leone and Liberia
    Department of Political Science McGill University Harmonizing Customary Justice with the Rule of Law? A Sub-national Case Study of Liberal Peacebuilding in Sierra Leone and Liberia By Mohamed Sesay A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Mohamed Sesay, 2016 ABSTRACT One of the greatest conundrums facing postwar reconstruction in non-Western countries is the resilience of customary justice systems whose procedural and substantive norms are often inconsistent with international standards. Also, there are concerns that subjecting customary systems to formal regulation may undermine vital conflict resolution mechanisms in these war-torn societies. However, this case study of peacebuilding in Sierra Leone and Liberia finds that primary justice systems interact in complex ways that are both mutually reinforcing and undermining, depending on the particular configuration of institutions, norms, and power in the local sub-national context. In any scenario of formal and informal justice interaction (be it conflictual or cooperative), it matters whether the state justice system is able to deliver accessible, affordable, and credible justice to local populations and whether justice norms are in line with people’s conflict resolution needs, priorities, and expectations. Yet, such interaction between justice institutions and norms is mediated by underlying power dynamics relating to local political authority and access to local resources. These findings were drawn from a six-month fieldwork that included collection of documentary evidence, observation of customary courts, and in-depth interviews with a wide range of stakeholders such as judicial officials, paralegals, traditional authorities, as well as local residents who seek justice in multiple forums.
