Palm Oil: 10 Million Indonesian’s Prepare to Strike Back

(what is this, actually? Sinar Mas and its friends threaten Nestlé with a cosumer boycott of 10 mio people. It may be taken for granted that all - I mean ALL - Indonesians are consumers of at least some Nestlé's products. 10 mio people means that Sinar Mas and friends believe they may have a say on the consumption patterns of maximum about 4 % (four percent) of Indonesian consumers (probably for a couple of weeks...). It's a threat. But not a very convincing one.)
