Oh, I completely agree, absolutely. But keeping the land in the hands of the white farmers wouldn't have been a solution either. I don't think this was a straightforward ethics call for Nestle: one answer might have been to disengage from the country entirely, but as the rep says, that would have damaged the workers' rights also.
