So in January 2008 the Ministry of Agriculture signed an Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with a certain GTLESTE Biotech to develop agribusiness opportunities, and biofuel/sugar cane in particular in Timor Leste.
Sounds like a good idea.
But the concession is potentially for 12% of the entire country and no one has appeared to ask anyone anything?
Sounds like a bad idea.
The public knows the Minister of Agriculture. But who is Sakiris Chairman of GTLESTE? Google tells us as of 2000 he was a Kalimantan Coal Man.

This MOU also makes reference to a map of the land to be developed for biofuel sugar/ethanol plant purposes. Would be very interesting to see the map. Have it? Send it along to thediliinsider@gmail.com
