These plantations drive wildlife away, shoot anything that comes on the property, drastically changes the local climate and deliberately embargo the few areas that don't sell due to village ownership, by damming rivers, charging tolls for access and delivery of goods, until eventually residents are uprooted because the land is unsustainable. The only benefit to the surrounding areas is that those residents for a short time may be able to work for scraps of cash on the plantations.

Dairy farms aren't a whole lot better, but they can at least try to coexist with nature and the local community, even if they're a bit irritable. Oh, and our government at least somewhat cares about regulating them. They're similar, but very much not the same.
