on the watch dw, do so i'll be back at the top of the hour with more world news. i hope to see you this. the shannon with reward winning offer is available and has never been sent to the

lobby and our 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 was the thing, jude cultivation became less important. rice was the priority and the focus shifted from ju, just the plastic. as i said, the that that could be about to change a size. and are you a cons? cultivate or fibers that could make the world a better place. or you've has believed in this possibility ever since his doctor told him that to could be turned into a material that feels and behaves like plastic. but it's environmentally friendly,

easy to add to get on. to not be back, it is invented out by on, by love a c scientists. it is a bio de good to buy a plastic, the r u n. his uncle, a fast farm, the natural fibre, according to a century. so tradition. put 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 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 i saw 4 months later in the month of chart. we harvest that how much had, can't we then planned other crops on the same soil, such as over genes or potato? what, as they will know, part of the high on the one hand, they're going to go to of the $5400.00 is equity double. how to use dried, jude sticks for many purposes. they bring in the most money how much we use them as climbing aids, investable fee. it goes up more 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, jude producers a fast 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 a year of the us has 4 sons at this one's head. 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 lee 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 strong to the cadillac. 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 and 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 with 5 inches square. we issues in the current season. our department has provided them with seed and fertilize our free of charge to h was this creates incentive. the farmers have to invest less or more and can make a bigger profit. it kept the number of cds of these taskbar. suffice along with a lot of issues. i'm to leave. my name is julie. 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 there is. yeah, that definitely the fiber feels thick and strong. it will be a good you, the foreigners that hold on resist.

the, the harvested to 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 . it must be walter attracts insects and victoria that are good for the jews and help the fermentation of the plant. but it's bad for human skin and causes itching says a fast today it is bearable and says a fast 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 jewel sticks. they sell very well and don't require much work. fine, 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 you upon the this climate change is making everything harder. extreme weather conditions are disrupting ecosystems throughout south asia says truly and jude farmers feel the effects for attend thoughts.

i said i'm on the see the money to wash much the my ancestors already knew that we have a very low me soil here. just kind of follow a model for me. it only needs a little reading to retain moisture. mazda of the parking lot of on sandy soil. i'm going to the jew client would not survive more than 10 days without rain or world is in for bar at the market. that type of soil is we are here behind the year, it rains fairly reliably, every $15.00 to $30.00 days and summer would get to the bottom. so our judgment is not damaged. the model is other, it will not be unlimited for me to call. unlike cotton or rice, which need constant water do, does not require artificial irrigation. i

saw says that he never heard of a biodegradable plastic like material made from jude until i you've stopped or told him about it. he uses a conventional plastic see to protect his plans, the of the, the, the, what i don't, i cannot hold on. i put the plastic sheet on top to prevent the mode from getting in and sticking to the fibers depending on the quality of the fibers. the jude has to soak and water for $12.00 to $15.00 days so that it starts to rock. if the plan

was already very ripe, when it was harvested, i can take it out again after just 8 to 10 days, but i saw not going to have the of the in a huge pond right next door. the dude sticks are almost ready. the, the, they, they asked it would have to, 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 that there was no ticket positive 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 toot,

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 how i live in and ever come to the, 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 farmers, those kinds of reduce. because the dial me is by my, the jude me is, are all so they don't to the dale dante any buyers to buy and sell the

jews. so many people as have leave the gods juice and it is, the chart is all scan it and they also do sort of watch too. well, i separate the fibers. this chart is o'kahn is people i a the go use the now center building the building. he had house the, the construction moves factories do used to be very important for bangladesh says that the pulling out of bank note, or i bring it because the, the symbols, the symbols, the farmer are kind of do is the farmer. they have separate fiber from the jews and the pop curry. they have separate the 2, and it is our national groups the know. so then not has the same symbolize this thing. so i read for you. the do is type a color who 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 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. ready a climate that is humid and hot. 2 jude has been harvested in process tier 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. best of rama. put trevor, the army notice is a jude farmer. here. the

lie a brother did you also plant to the season? no, no, not this year. i'm. i don't i love life on the island. we bought it, but i live on the mainland because of the numbers and goods every day. i come back here in the morning and believe in the evening. i loved the nature here. however, the ears, fresh, uncommon look to however, there's so much to do on the island. so many opportunities on the mainland. i have new land and nothing to working with. i river pirates. that's what i mean. what the 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 chose to level or shut down. as far as the outside of my c id, it must be with the rainy season that floods over twice. i go as i so he moves the coast, the mainland on boots very well. but for him to run this in 2 or 3 days, everything here is under water and i saw his umbrella. this was all over. it was then we came up to the tin roof of the house with a monthly wooden planks don't. let's have to. so if you, we just live up there, thing get, we're going to shoot. i think it was all over thought that'd be actually if he sense of your volume or the date to get him is figured becky, separately. so so, so we're name, ma'am. let me know, it shows how high the watch are reached in recent years. how long i was. i'm charged even disappeared completely for

a time. $200.00 people live on this river island without electricity or solid ground under their feet. their 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 back there what it is totally ruined by the always, you know, 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 of those in the flood lasted for almost 3 weeks to complete. the front of me, i believe is the positive part of that everything was right. but, but i've heard that there are new fibers,

a little cold by me as if by me i should do the uh, boost up the shop though, and the water comes on the plan trimmings under water for too long. oh, really turns black around. no. i then ogden is new. good for more. i got to think of the problem is that gives you the, the list of only the golden. shimmering fibers are really worth it. and a thing say about them, like, i don't know, a box of the, even if the plant certainly have some commercial, walter, how sort of fibers that come out of low quality the, we gets a lower price on the market because they are discolored. or even blacked or not divulge why the numbers you i to prevent this dude farmers on the chars have defies the 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. no good finding me. i live on the river. walter isn't murphy. the stream carries on lots of soil and clean the substances stick to the jute fibers, degreed in quality, and causing the jews to block in good. however, if the river water is channelled into a pond or a 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 are just visual canals and water holes. the if i didn't know, do they got to you in the bottle? this is walter that comes from the river by the all the impurities and the must have settled to the bottom of the water, hopefully with the bundle,

by the time. well, actually the water is clear, and that's how you can still get the golden color, but your favorite 5 block drop out. otherwise there's no chance of getting good quality fibers are low yet another problem is impacting the by to river island. to low pressure the i wonder if we don't have a if there's too much plastic around then harms the crumbs. so we gather burnett that solves the problems. are plastic. the 2? no, people want to use less plastic bag, but i just have because we have already in the past batch are made of jute most now we're going back to jude shopping bags, sacks, etc. people are fed up with plastic that the

200 kilometers downstream. there are people who want to saw the plastic problem with the house of 2 in the capital deca scientists are working on the show nally back 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 scientist dr. mubarek, i met con, protective suits and mass have also been produced using this new bio plastic the . the main raw material is dried dude fibers. then we find the setters

because the main ingredient of this one in the back is set arrows definitely made descent loose from just condition. then we put into the the extra tang that to be x. and then we have to set the set up the temperature pretty sharp and time for the poor direction. and then we own the skype. so some of these are the exact formula. it's a secret and says doctor con. so natalie bag has suffered some setbacks. it was just about to go into mass production when the co dependent make it. the sewing bags from this to polymer is also still a problem. the producers don't have access to the right machines using dude for fiber reinforced compass. this has already been proven to work. dr. con has been

experimenting with the material for years. his due to reinforce polymer mixture also has a name to to do things. uh, is your company to commit you. so that is a good for the bottom of this. now, and that tons and gentleman in as, as early as in susan and also data making some boss with the flex pilot in 1st accomplish it to the appropriate feel of flux is better than to condense function. but at flux, the production of flexibility, limited in some countries, and the prices to can support and try them. that will do sometimes it's, i just have a good quality plot to say about 10 times 510 to 2. so in that case, juke is the potential candidate for making the con project the

i have to have the center says the mind to the destination hot and i want to go there. that is additional issue. so lastly, i want to see why i'm usually one to why? because juke is really incapable class because it wanted 70 percent centers, you cannot find any t or pulse in all of them was waste content. 71 that are some plans, but it's not plenty. it's not kind of duplicate anybody. like to is susan of corruption bundle with dish. so it is the hardest thing time use $110.00 days on the other. one creek on kentucky, person centers on their buddies,

but to dick's getting to good people didn't yes, commit to the this is plus the policy so he can see the set on the burning this on the back. it's a definitely like, you know, victor here. this is the can proceed and give me did proof of magic everybody. this isn't us. i'm a product this. this is as it sounds like the perfect

fiber. so why hasn't the environmentally friendly juke revolution happens by now? and what does the government, which commission this finality, bad experiments make of this? we ask for homage applewood cullum at the ministry of tex, 1000 jude. this absolutely noble idea. and the mobile home of counties working on that, you're willing to do no, any already talked with him. but the, the, somebody should actually, uh, the need to be addressed before waiting for the most production. kind of, uh, uh the costing things the other costing. of course the whole list actually cost that is $1.00 issue. um, because people know get actually plastic bags or full thing. big boobs typically almost a low cost. so yeah, that is one issue. actually there is a stick completion with the this plus people to put that thing back into somebody

a good product. but the plastic comedy is very, very strong. keep on pipe dealers dollars business every year for the single do us shopping back. so they are not easily allow you to enter the 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 log enough, they would be glad to grow more to and does produce more natural fibers, but conditions have to improve. many people including iops, uncle, hide, are, are unhappy this quote for you. you can give them number to the fact that will 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 kind of table tight. there are so many things we could do that. i knew what i'm next hardwood they might have, but i bet i'm going to go as i did. i did it as a whole in love but i need to do the struggle. we used to have more of them. they

didn't lose the know they were leased by the government to people who are farming fish in the country funding. so cutting them off as near and also low to plan. i'll charge you their commercial them thinking sure to, to run it must cut out wherever there is water upon the ditches. canals it is, it was a lot to know. they are all use for fish farm and ready to go to is i got the our hands are tied on while you're doing that. is that have mazda natasha jennifer? 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 sinking 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, i don't like 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 agility, you know who is, makes up for the hard labor force to rely on. so even though just cultivation is painful when it brings us lots of benefits of black,

i'm with the credit card when jude is still very young, it's leaves are used in cooking and are very healthy. are you? ps wife alo says, so now she would talk, show these a 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 test i want to do

a good. what about the think if i block them on the moon of hello? no, no punch. what to do cause a high thought said tips caught us. jute has changed our luck since it's currently being sold a good market price. i see 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. will it be nice to, to be shut up that gosh, so if i go to, to, in the field to because i can earn 2 and a half times more than what i would earn with rice is for. go to the nama, the cool. that's why you called a vision is a profitable crop for us farmers back the on it doing, josh, i'm the

it takes 3 days for the 2 bundles to dry in the sun. are you buying a fast then sell them to wholesalers who picked them up directly in his late the to sell their to, to many farmers travel to the small town shown that toilet. it's one of the largest due to markets in the region. the highest price for a q low of $2.00 today is a t tucker. they say that's about 3 quarters of a dollar. 6677, count slowly. wholesalers buy to then deliver it to the mills or a boss. what about the, hey, we have to make 5 kilo's less. there are 3 categories of june. first,

the 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 by giving me the good one and then low. good. bad is low quality a high quality here. first class the best a defense is type. everything is okay or done it at night over vertically. a clean, soft, smooth, vertically at other than these vacant. this one is rough, very different. it's from the floods one, i don't know if i knew the when i say, well, no, so that doesn't matter who it is. wholesalers off from the store that you 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 before us 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 present to the body, the exports go to india. the neighboring country is the world's largest producer of june, but they still need imports to supplement their own harvest. products include 2nd, delicate textiles and sometimes called the

natural tooth. 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, in the region of present day has been one of the died of money pick a would put the will actually, the so called hash and goes back to germany. square soldiers uniforms used to be made of jude out of money to say this was then adopted by the british army. or we will shut the issue that there. and they then call the fabric, well, yeah, sure, i can do that. the money hit cnn foresight late. i've tried to go to the

over $800.00 companies in bangladesh, now manufactured to products. and that number is growing, the more awareness of to, to environmental sustainability could be created worldwide. global interests would really help say the history 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 the water, we could produce more of the golden fiber and supply of, i mean, even though she forgot to come to nice virus to harvest more and it back to and a lot of farmers would come forward, cultivate to try to get us updated access to people on the go to the water. nowadays though we do, the main challenge, i think, is the price fluctuation. there is no certainty compelling. 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 that. i think this would mitigate the risk of being charged for the connective it did. they did show a government that conduct the back of it. the only issue settings that could be 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. 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, eat 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 and it motivates me to keep working. and then i'm even happy. i don't know a lot of people the, the

understanding the forest of the people are trying to find this ecosystem resource is trying to change. and it's looking at 30 minutes on the w, the
