The Lao government does not give a ... about those villagers and anyone else for that matter. As long as they get a new Lexus or Vigo, they don't care who lives or die.

Reply to this commentIn all developing countries, agricultural chemical / fertilizer users are required to go through a short government training session for a certificate before they can purchase and use the required chemical products for their farm produces. Usually, a farm coop would be set up to sell and order chemicals for farming needs in a country. This way, the risk of missusing them will be minimized and controlled.
Beware of Chinese farming investors! They have poor records of complying with any country's agricultural regulations.

Laos used to be a very beautiful place on earth with natures, rain forest jungles, rare wild animals, never had pollution and yet no chemical contamination what so ever. The natures had been preserved for generation and century. Many local Lao people never need high tech and modern living condition but they could still survival with no problem--living necessity were abundant. Lao PDR governments and foreigner investors have been destroying the ecosystem nearly completely. They are making a huge mistake and irreversible effect to the natures, country and Lao citizens. For those of you who are still believing in Lao PDR government communist is on the right path, you are very wrong and betrayal to your country.
