German banks in the oil palm sector
German banks could be involved by providing a.o. loans and other credits, investment banking services, investments in shares and bonds, in financing four oil palm plantation groups.

German banks did play a role in the past seven years in the financing of the oil palm activities of the Salim Group and the Sinar Mas Group, but their role was fairly small.
