scroll the timberland, thanks for the company. have a good weekend and a half east. the one to 2 point one. what is in just a 100 days? my power is going to be bunch of my family. what cute. how is this age? i'm on a journey to find out about the russo the 19 are to put you on the side to see if the rhonda, my name is some way to ship me here. i'm afraid it makes me shaming history out documentary stops. april 6th on dw, the the

bob and are started cultivating duty at the age of 12, in those days of june, was an important crop here of the. this is what i've done it. jude cultivation became less important. rice was the priority and the focus shifted from ju, just the plastic. as i said, the there that could be about to change a size. and are you a cons? cultivate of fibers that could make the world a better place? or you've has believed in this possibility ever since his doctor told him that you could be turned into a material that feels them to be hayes like plastic. but it's environmentally

friendly. i read an article on the back. it is invented out by on, by love a c scientist. uh it is a bio di, good to buy a plastic the are you've and his uncle, a fast farm, the natural fibre, according to century. so tradition. could this painstaking process provide the fiber of the future, the northern bangladesh book, or district 6 o'clock in the morning? an early start to avoid the summer heat. yesterday temperatures reached 45 degrees celsius a fast, so this due to in march. now it's harvest time, the what is heavy at the end of the been galley months of to

a true. we so the see that a 2 or 4 months later in the month of chart we harvest that kind of my head. can we then plant other crops on the same soil, such as over genes or potato? what as they will know, part of the other one and they're going to go to of the 5. what i'm wondering is equity that will how to use dried jude sticks for many purposes. they bring in the most money how much we use them as climbing aids, investable feed valve, or for the walls of houses. today. however, this is becoming obsolete as bricks are used instead of jute, bangladesh as a small country, but it's farmers count among the world's largest, 2 producers of foss lives in the village of his lee.

he is one of the wealthier people in the village. his annual income, he says, is the equivalent of 5000 bureaus. the us has 4 sons. at this homepage, the guy at the one is also a farmer, and the other one is a driver. one is living in malaysia as a migrant worker, and the other is an engineer. i am 75 years old working when i pulled up to the high when i 1st was young, the slogan hughes,

jude now plastic handmade and bangladesh was popular in parts of europe. but if i says he's never heard of it, the in the 1980s, the tooth back from bangladesh became a symbol. that's the environmental movement. back then, it was known as a scratch. you resilient natural material. used to to not plastic was a rallying cry. now the fight against plastic is more urgent than ever. in the village of his lease scrap metal and plastic are collected for recycling. the people are paid and edible, not so they will have to do to eventually replace plastic. who are the people who cultivate the plants? now, what role does jude play for them? whose ever overall jude cultivation has advantages. we hardly earned anything from

rice this year. but we still grow rice for our own consumption, and we see the rice straw to the cadillac. c c the, the price farmers receive for to talk to it's considerably some years proceeds from sales fail to cover production costs. the government is trying to counteract this economic issue. a problem. you just take a partnership with the ugly. i'm the one in the market. price is high right now,

and i'm farmers are interested again obvious, and we want to support them 5 inches square. we is. these are located in the current season. our department has provided them with seed and fertilize are free of charge. so h was this creates incentive, the farmers have to invest less from others and can make a bigger profit. it could the number of cds of these taskbar suffice. and a lot of issues have a number to lead. my name is to lee, i'm working as an assistant officer at the department of agriculture extension. i've got totally vocal right. isn't that isn't the data. okay. yeah, that definitely the fiber feels thick and strong. it will be a good you, the foreigners that hold on resist

the, the harvest a jew, stocks are left to lie in the field for 3 days until all the leaves have fallen off . what follows is the unpleasant part. the green starks must rot. the some musty water attracts insects and bacteria that are good for the jute and help the fermentation of the plant. but it's bad for human skin and causes itching says a fight today, it is bearable and says if as he's used to it anyway,

other challenges are more daunting. not move on the box. that's what number one in fact that i'll call you because you have one of the i like round you, especially the dude sticks, you know, they sell very well and don't require much work on, you know, but when it's too dry, we have a problem running the green due to sticks in the past, it was easier. we used to do it everywhere in water holes and rivers. there is a river nearby, but now it doesn't have enough water. so now we use puns that are normally used for fish farming. and i have a pond close to i. ups, pond, climate change is making every thing harder. extreme weather conditions are disrupting ecosystems throughout south asia says truly and dude, farmers feel the effects 1st tend

fox us it. i'm on the see the money to blash much. you says the my ancestors already knew that we have very little me soil here. just kind of follow a model who married only needs a little reading to retain moisture, mazda, of all the parking lot of on sunday. so i'm going to, did you plan to not survive more than 10 days without rain? world is in for bar s. market. that type of soil is we are here behind the year. it range fairly reliably. every 15 to 30 days in summer we just went through the balloon. uh so our judgment is not damaged. the models other it'll monthly i wanted to kind of cool on like cotton or rice which need constant water to does not require artificial irrigation.

i thought says that he'd never heard of a biodegradable plastic like material made from june until i you've stopped or told him about it. he uses a conventional plastic sheet to protect his plants. the ipad? well no, no. i have not. okay. i put the plastic sheet on top to prevent the mud from getting in and sticking to the fibers. depending on the quality of the fibers, the jude has to soak and water for 12 to 15 days so that it starts to run. if the

plan was already very right, when it was harvested, i can take it out again after just $8.00 to $10.00 days, but i don't want, i'm going to have i of the in the youth's pond right next door. the dude sticks are almost ready. okay . that was the, the, i see the that the overtime, the fibers can be removed from the stand by applying light pressure. but this one isn't ready yet. i still have to press too hard because there was no it's not think about the kind of set function that i think it will take another 4 or 5 days . in his li, our youth is known as the model farmer. he grows everything from oranges to,

to toyota, and his family makes them proud. his daughter tia hopes to go to university in my country, people, things, pardon me, use the a, made a team not to the female to do this. and i want to start a study that i live in and abroad, come to the outside of the country. a t o would not want to become a jude farmer even if she could do to them. now the do try me is not, not they have these, the both of the farm are so kind to reduce. because the dial me is by my, the jude me is, are all so they don't to the, uh, they are gone to any buyers to buy sandy. a dues,

so many people have to leave the god juice. and it is the chart. this all scan it and they allow us to do sort of watch to and i'll see if i had the 5 hours . this chart is of plan is people out of the go use the cabinets and the building, the building, the house, the, the construction moves. factories do used to be very important for bangladesh. says that the pulling out an old bank note, i bring it because the, the symbols, the symbols, the farmer are kind of do is the farmer of separate fiber from the jews. and the pop cory. they have separate the 2, and it is our national groups, the know. so the not has the same symbolize this thing. so i read for you the do this type a color that is the that these wash from the borrower that,

that is golden color golden, should show natalie, i should be buying a college. so natalie asked that is golden try that? and it is. so it is a, it is on the national across because each so we exports the other countries and we get to dollars to that guy and see the, until the middle of the 20th century. jude was the world's most important tech style fiber after cotton. to this day, most of the worlds do production still comes from this region. a louisville soil, a climate that is humid and hot. jude has been harvested and processed here

for centuries. the british colonial rulers took the jude prone here and sold it all over the world. the highest quality fibers have a golden color. these are set to grow best new rivers. that's why many dude farmers lift by rivers or in the middle of rivers, an island called chars. the char bye to allies in the middle of the juno river, which originates in the himalayas as the from a put try river. the army notice is a jude farmer here. the

bottom line. a brother. did you also plant the season? no, no, not this year. my daughter, i love life on the island. we buy them. but i live on the mainland because of the brothers and goons. every day i come back here in the morning and the lead in the evening. i loved the nature here, however, the ears, fresh and common, looked however there's so much to do on the island so many opportunities on the mainland. i have new land and nothing to work with. i go to the river pirates. that's what i mean. who calls the people who attacked and seriously injured his brother that got he shows us the scars from the knife glance. he tells us that the pirates stole his cow is it is all over

the crime is not the only thing that makes life hard on the chars. legally, i've tried several of our struggle as far as the outside of my c id, and mostly with the rainy season that floods over twice i go as i so we move the coast to the mainland on. oops, while very well, but for him, the weather is just in 2 or 3 days. everything here is under water. wish i had the this was all over. it was then we came up to the tin roof of the house that i'm, i'm lia wooden planks don't. let's have to. so if you, we just live up there thing get, we're going to shoot a packet. let's all over the booked. i'd be actually, if he seems to be volume or the date that we're having to take it back, he says, coordinating them are good. i mean, nor shows how high the watch of reached in recent years long i was, i'm charged even disappear completely for

a time. $200.00 people live on this river island without electricity or solid ground under their feet. their jude times are resilient to they can withstand flooding for a good 2 weeks. but even the robust do times have their limits. who are the who do i have the reason why they're hard to believe. i believe i found that you fax their what it is totally ruined by the flow. if i grew up with the department of that, but couldn't because of the extreme flooding. we couldn't harvest quickly in any way and they died up. those in the flood lasted for almost 3 weeks to complete. the front of me, i believe, is in the private deposit, but everything was right about the put that there are new fibers. a

little cold by me as if by me i should do the lose of the shop. but when the water comes on the plan trimmings under water for too long to clear, turns black around. no, as an option is no good to go more. i got to think of the problem is that gives you the, the list of only the golden shimmering fibers are really worth. and i think so bottom, the bottom of the, even if the plants certainly have some commercial, walter, how structural the fibers that come out of low quality. that'd be higher. but we gets a lower price on the market because they are discolored, or even black or not as of technology about the numbers you i to prevent this dude. farmers on the chars have devised a system that i mean with this proud of leaving the island is not an option. they have nothing on the mainland. the river is both a curse and

a blessing for the 2 plants. to watch your noise just then with the minerals, but threatens them with much good, by the way i live the river. water isn't murky. the stream carries on lots of soil and clean the substances stick to the jute fibers, degrading quality and causing the due to block in good. however, if the river water is channels into a pond or canal with the water is clear and fresh, i know that you trimmings and damage plots and retains its golden color. so they have created artificial canals and water holes. the if i didn't know the, they got to in the bottle. this is walter that comes from the river by the all the impurities in the month of settle to the bottom of the water with the bundle,

by the time. well, actually the water is clear, and that's how you can still get the golden color to the basics of 5. and i've talked about the otherwise, there's no chance of getting good quality fibers are low yet another problem is impacting the by to river island to a low pressure the if there's too much plastic around, then harms the crumbs. so we gather it burnett that solves the problems, are plastic, the, that, you know, people want to use less plastic bag, but others have because we have already in the past batch are made of jute most now we're going back to jude shopping bag sacks, etc. and people are fed up with plastic that of the

200 kilometers down stream. there are people who want to solve the plastic problem with the house of 2 in the capital duyka scientists are working on this show nally bad project, translating as the golden back. it looks and feels like a plastic bag, but it's made from cellulose, derived from cute if the invention of bangladesh, the scientists, dr. mubarak and con, protective suits and mass have also been produced using this new bio plastic the main raw material as dried dude fibers. then we find the setters

because the main ingredient of this one in the back is set are definitely made just to introduce a problem. just get this into the reaction thing. the reaction, we have to set up the temperature pressure and time for the poor to action. and then we own these types of the exact formula. it's a secret and says doctor con, this finale bag has suffered some setbacks. it was just about to go into mass production when the cobra tend to make it showing bad from this to polymer. it's also still the problem. the producers don't have access to the right machines is using dude for fiber reinforced compass that's has already been proven to work. dr. con has been experimenting with the material

for years. his duty reinforced polymer mixture also has a name to to do can uh, is accomplish. it met you. so that is a good for the thought of bodies now and the trans and gentleman in as, as your lives in assist. and then also data making some boss with the flex fiber inputs comp legit to the appropriate feel of flux is better than to condense some extra but have flux, the production of flexibility, limited in some countries and the prices to time support and try them that will do sometimes it's, i just have a good quality plots. these have a 10 times 5 at the end of june. so in that case, juke is the potential candidate for making the con, the

i have to have the scientist has the mind. the destination hutton, i want to go there. that is a destination. so lastly, i want to see why i'm using one to 4. because juke is really incredible. because he wanted 70 per cent scenarios. you cannot find any t or across in all of the water waste content. 71. there are some plans, but it's not plenty. it's not kind of deal with anybody. like to is susan of corruption bundle with dish. so it is the 100 visiting time. use 110 days on the other. one creek on kentucky, person centers on their buddies. lucky dick's getting to good people in the

estimate you the this is the last the policy so he can see the fed on the barney this on the back. it's a just like, you know, victoria here, this is the can proceed and me did through a battery cable. this isn't necessarily product this. this is as it sounds like the perfect fiber. so why hasn't the environmentally friendly juke

revolution happened by now? and what does the government, which commission this finale bad experiment to make of this? we ask for homage upward come down at the ministry of tech styles and jude. this absolutely noble idea and the mobile home of counties working on that, you're willing to do no, any already talked to him but the, the, some you should actually, uh, the need to be addressed before waiting for the most production kind of uh, uh the costing thinks the other cool thing, of course the homeless actually cost that is one issue. um, because people know get actually plastic bags or anything big, big, stupid, almost a low cost. so that is $11.00 issue actually there is this the company. so we'd be

this plus people for the next door, just a pretty good product. but the plastic community is very, very strong. coupon pipe dealers dollars business every year for the single us shopping back. so they are not easily allow you to enter the market plastics. an industry that is blocking jude farmers expansion and increasingly jeopardizing their very existence the weekly meeting of the dude farmers of history. 2 of the sizes brothers are also here, states on what they tell us that plastic causes a lot of damage to their crops. somebody might have done, but i don't think they've got a of this plastic is very harmful though. when it burns, like sticky,

dangerous residues remain in the soil due to on the other hand decomposes easily and it fertilizes the soil. plastic takes years to decompose. and when we planned rice, it no longer rose. well, if the soil is boys under a 100, because the high long enough, they would be glad to grow more to and does produce more natural fibers. but conditions have to improve. many people including i ups, uncle hide, are, are unhappy this quote for you can give a member to define it. that's what we want. we also think about it all. the time. cute is really profitable, but we simply don't have any more water holes where we can leave the stocks to rock . and i mean, it's a real crisis. i got them on the table tight. there are so many things we could do that i knew i'm not hardwood, they might have but i bet i'm going to go as i did. i did. it is a hole in love,

but i need to do the struggle. we used to have more of them but didn't leave the know they were leased by the government to people who are farming fish in the country binding. so cutting them off is near enough to low to plan on. we'll charge you therapy. so we're going to take a short of to run, it must cut out wherever there is water upon the dishes canals. it is, it was a lot to know. they are all use for fish farm and ready to go to those. i got sort of the, our hands are tied on what i'm doing that's coming up is that a mazda natasha jeff? how much would it make to go to? and that's why they have created their own artificial ponds. these experienced farmers make the hard work look easy, having rubbed, mineral oil on his body before getting into the stinking water to relieve the itching, i loosened institute fibers by hitting the stems, the

law. and this is how you waiting to talk. lots of course to go to lou will got a big deal in addition. don't talk it over the whole. so it was a cultivation process as tyran shoot has many benefit. when it is young, we can each, once you've extracted the fibers, we make the money from it. they lose it, right? you sticks us fire, we're done with a done any develop. this makes up for the hard labor costs through allowance, even though just contribution is painful. when it brings us lots of benefits back

on with that approval, we're kind of like when to is still very young. it's leaves are used in cooking and are very healthy. are you ps? wife allo says so now she will talk soon. these are green vegetables are full of vitamins healthy i mean i just gently as ensure that we build up our immune system, him be the the what does some of them have good. what about the think if i be what the 1 am i

gonna love? hello. well no, no punch on the day. of course the high thoughts that dips carlos jute has changed our luck since it's currently being sold a good market price i see to the cost less to produce compared with other products for the initiative on marketing. how do we can recover the production expenses by selling the dried stock? so look at one box with the next to to be sure that, that gosh, so if i produce in the field, because i can earn 2 and a half times more than what i would earn with rice is for going to do nama the cool or so that's why you cultivation is a profitable crop for us. farmers on the side of the

it takes 3 days for the 2 bundles to dry in the sun or you know, fast and sell them to wholesalers who pick them up directly in his late the to sell. there are too many farmers travel to the small town i've shown that toilet. it's one of the largest due to markets in the region. the highest price for a killer to today is a t tucker. they say, that's about 3 quarters of a dollar. 6677, count slowly. wholesalers by to then deliver it to the mills or a boss. what about them all? hey, we have to make 5 kilo's less. there are 3 categories of jude's 1st,

2nd and 3rd rate quality. that determines the price i pay. i buy a good quality duty at a high price medium level model, but this is medium quality. i gave me the good one and then look at that as low quality high quality here. first class, the best a defense type. everything is okay. the light of vertically clean, soft, smooth, vertically at other than these thinking. this one is rough, very different. it's from the floods. well no, i don't know if i need to. when i say with them, well no. so that doesn't matter who it is. wholesalers off from store the 2 to in warehouse. it's in order to increase demand from the

mills and does drive up the price. in recent years, the government has closed down several jude mounts, which were said to be unprofitable. tens of thousands were left unemployed. there are times to modernize the industry according to the ministry, to the privately owned house on ali, to smell and folklore, of sources do from all over the country and produces it in 3 ships. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. the, the conditions are bad. the temperatures colors the

from the fibers creeps into the body, the exports go to india. the neighboring country is the world's largest producer of 2, but they still need imports to supplement their own harvest. products include 2nd delica type cells and sometimes called pets. yes. mm. okay,

not true to. fabrics may not be very soft, but they are durable and highly freeze of the production manager mohammed drum and tells us what the material was already being used in the 18th century. in germany or in the region of present day has a similar to the money take a would put the well, no, actually the so called hash and goes back to germany where soldiers, uniforms used to be made of jude out of money to say this was then adopted by the british army, or we will set the issue that there, and they then called the fabric ocean. how can you see that the money hit cnn for that late? i've tried to, with the

over 800 companies in bangladesh now manufactured to products. and that number is growing, the more awareness of due to environmental sustainability could be created worldwide. global interests would really help say the history of farmers separate. that's our germany is one of the pioneers in the industrial revolution before

getting off to, if they were to import truth from our country, from cosign deals with a governmental to go to what we could produce more of the goals and fiber and suppliers. i mean, even though she forgot to comment on spirals to harvest more, if i know most of farmers would come forward, cultivate much use and try to get us updated access to people on the go to the water allowed to park. though we do, the main challenge, i think is the price fluctuation. there is no certainty. if the government put a system in place to guarantee that it would by the to, to not as it already does with rice have to do, then i think this would mitigate the risk of being charged for the conduct of it did. they did show goldman duncan, that the back of it, the only issue saelens ticket being asked about will use to, to not plastic. make a come back. the history farmers hope so, but it's up to others to make it happen. until then, a fast will continue farming as best he can to day

he finds himself at the market in the evening. one part when i get a good harvest and earn a good amount of money, i buy suites for the children at home. i say to myself, more, don't think about money today. what are the harvest that brings in the most money makes me the happiest, whatever. when i sell my harvest at the market, i forget all the hard work it motivates me to keep working. and then i'm even happy . i don't go a lot. all the. the
