How is Coca-Cola exploiting the international countries it operates?
In the past, Coca Cola have been accused of dehydrating local communities by exploiting their water resources in order to feed their own plants. Their actions resulted in dried up wells and destroyed local agriculture. It has violated workers rights in numerous countries and only sustains a clean public image through multi-million dollar marketing schemes.
Coca-Cola is notorious for drying up land in which they operate on. This is due to the immense amounts of water needed to run their daily production. Three liters of water is needed to produce one liter of pop. As a result, numerous reports prove that Coca-Cola is striking a serious blow on farmlands at Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh in India. Farmers in these areas find it progressively difficult to irrigate their land and maintain their crops, thus their whole families are at risk of losing their livelihoods. Being an already poor state, Coca-Cola has only worsened the conditions of India
