Wait until you find out about bananas and coconuts

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Major human rights violations are being committed at a vast Del Monte pineapple farm in Kenya where there have been numerous deaths and violence, according to the conclusions of an unpublished report.
The report describes an intense conflict between loosely organised groups of pineapple thieves and Del Monte security staff, causing casualties on both sides, including injuries and death.
The Guardian has previously reported that a group whose minibus broke down on a public road through the farm at night in 2021 alleged they were set upon by guards using wooden clubs and sustained injuries including a broken leg.
Peter McAllister, executive director of the Ethical Trading Initiative, said the ETI had overseen the commissioning of Partner Africa’s human rights impact assessment (HRIA) and that his organisation had “seen the full report, which we believe is robust and credible”.
Amnesty, the Centre for Research on Multinational Corporations (SOMO) and the Kenya Human Rights Commission expressed concern about the way that Del Monte and the supermarkets had dealt with allegations of killings.
Peter Frankental, a programme director at Amnesty, said: “British supermarkets need to wake up to their own responsibility to bring an end to the alleged serious human rights violations that have been occurring in their supply chains in Kenya.”
