BBC News published this video item, entitled “Palm oil firms depriving tribes of millions of dollars – BBC News” – below is their description.

But the companies that sell it to major firms like Johnson & Johnson, Kellogg’s and Mondelēz are depriving indigenous communities of potentially millions of dollars of income, a joint BBC investigation has found.
