Quick tour - 4                                     A secret business empire

---

What's more  -  Petersen's charitable front turns out to be hiding a secret, commercial and very cynical business empire, that is actually exploiting people in developing countries.

For Tvind owns millions of acres of prime agricultural land in some of the world's poorest nations, from Brazil to Zimbabwe.

These 'plantations' are run as fruit farms, exporting crops to Europe and the USA.    Behind razor wire and security fences, journalists and trade union activists have discovered that the conditions on these farms are extremely poor, with local workers badly paid, refused union rights, and exposed to dangerous chemicals - hardly compatible with a global development charity.

It may shock consumers to find that most of the bananas on British supermarket shelves, for example, come from Tvind farms in Belize, central America - produced in conditions of appalling exploitation.

The Danish police say some of the money supposed to be spent on development aid, was actually used to buy property like this.
