"Leading grain traders ‘sourcing soy beans from Brazilian farm linked to abuse’", 19 August 2022

...Earthsight named the companies as Bunge and Cargill and said they sourced soy produced on a farm located on ancestral land of the Kaiowá indigenous group. The Kaiowá were forcibly evicted by landowners ...The land was subsequently deforested to make way for cattle and soy plantations...

Cargill buys soy grown on the 9,700-hectare farm, which is now known as Brasília do Sul, the Earthsight report claims. Bunge, it said, processes soy bought from the farm by intermediaries...

Both companies have detailed labour, indigenous rights and sustainability policies. Together the firms account for 30.8% of Brazilian soy exports to the EU and UK...

Whether this particular bit of soy that fed a chicken ends up at Tesco or McDonald’s in the end is a little irrelevant because the point is that the British market, and other European markets for that matter, are contaminated by a supply chain that is linked to a farm with a long history of indigenous rights violations. And that in itself should be a major red flag to buyers of these products”...

The claims also come at a tense moment for indigenous rights in Brazil. The far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro...[,]...once saying the Brazilian military erred in not decimating their native peoples like the US cavalry...[,]...promised not to give indigenous people “one more square centimetre of land” ...
