and i think there's other by you know it's not easy to go to another country you know nothing about why i do this because we can't stay on his way into that way that. closely global news that matters d.w. made for mines. org. board. board.

it shortly after sunrise in the egyptian io delta droplets of foam got hardening on the pumps the workers are harvesting with a delicate touch it smells like a lever plantation. hussain factory owns this very special agricultural business it's not about fruit or veggies it's purely about the scent of the leaves on the blossoms he produces the highest quality robers. many of his essences undoctored the sophisticated creation so the big purview houses of the world in the united states or in france. that.

he's being harvested g.-o. . but not sweet as we would find them insalata come pretty easy together with mozzarella tomatoes this where i agree he's quite something lemon basil full of essential oils. like. promising about. this is this. verbena lemon verbena flavor to it so. if it smells citrusy lemon but it's a basal it's entirely in basilica. and what's interesting with this is we we propose it to the industry as a an ersatz replace trip to verb aina which is not which is not allowed by

the frog in fine fragrance. honey to me isn't exactly the strong point to the factory farms but it's not needed. because when harvesting precious essences it's all about delicate time intensive manual labor when harvesting the powerfully fragrant tuberose flowers for instance. weeding he's also a long winded procedure the takes a dozen men almost all day they have to exercise the can to avoid damaging the tended to build stalks. but the workers have. fly trusting and especially hungry helpers who settle right next to the.

image that you're catching over here with the 9 eager it's that we call in arabic subject for left which means the friend of the farmer just because they work together nicely or it is eating the the bugs behind the their weeding that the farmer is doing is basically a. statement of fact that. we have a nice balance taking place. on. the farm produces 80 different as says from sweet gums to leaven grass one flood caused hussein a headache for 4 years before it finally flourished he is just heading through the seal rosebushes the flower in the summer. the rules got these was that. you know perhaps at sunset you could see me screaming at my roses and trying to get the message across but. finally you discovered that i mean things come through

patience rather than especially with nature rather than screaming and getting mad but of course when you're on the other side then things start to work then it's you get to be quite proud. you know to see a project like that develop with a rose that has never seen egypt before the bruises on his hobby but just this his business the queen of sense only reveals his so for the sun the puns are roma is intense it's exceptional there is no other botanical that pressures us in that way and the fragrance is just outstanding it's this you know royal white blossom. fragrance and 8 is one of the keystones and if you're talking of classic french fine fragrance.

flows pollinated by breeze but by no 2 months so the harvest takes place from shortly after midnight to summarize the night shift to start. busy pickers hombres the time he frowns just peeking through takes several minutes . some manage a kilo per hour. out. on.

out. there to start with people flowers every year for 6 months 7 days a week through the seas our shot is that we have to make sacrifices if we want to earn money everyone does that make the most we all get paid for how much to pick.

lega matter. i've already managed 4 kilograms thank goodness is that a bit about that has to make anyone happy with their it's

a few grams more or less it's early still i'll carry on a bit i have time until 9 o'clock he wasn't then and i did them a list that had to satisfy. the factory farms are in the middle of the delta around 20 kilometers north of the city of tom tom. the whole region is a paradise for the production of fragrances thanks to the fertile floodplain and the water. the jasmine transport looks leasure lake only at 1st glance in reality the jasmine blossoms have to be processed as quickly as possible before that precious aroma disappears before the aromas are extracted the millions of flowers away quickly but sunny because the sense lead to delight

customers down the road. on the plantations of the nile delta the hollies does just the job quite so well paid one by the way the because get to your nose per kilogram . the same price for the pickers who work on the factory farms and for the people who deliver the harvest from the surrounding area every morning. that means around 10 euros per ship had a good $300.00 euro was probably. that's not bad by gyptian standards what a teacher around $100.00 euros a month. to go to for the quality is important that only the flowers are collected no storks no green leaves and as little water as possible everything has to be super fresh right from the field that we start at 2 in the morning and harvest until 9 after that it's too

late and the flowers are worthless as. it's hot past month in egypt hala but her colleagues are on their way home. that will takes them through the fertile nile delta with sediment deposits brought here over thousands of years by the world's longest river the nile it's as if time has stood still. there a jasmine fields everywhere thousands of pounds lead to the distillery owned by

hussein factory and the other 10 plantation owners in the nile delta. some of the workers like pick on the farmers others deliver the harvest in the own vehicle while yet others sell the spoils of the night shift directly to local middleman that by saving themselves the trip to the wayne station. it's all about the queen of said if we take all the pictures of their families working on the jasmine farms of the nile delta together jasmine provides a living for around $50000.00 people show brooke balloonist is the name of the small village that has been the hollers home since a wedding it's in the middle of the nile delta is fragrant jasmine but it's one of her daughters he's already working on the fields which gives have better chances on the wedding will get a habit that seems very antiquated and not very well she paid into the european line i think it is like a bank people say the delta because their job deeds are safe income in the

politically and economically tough times egypt has been experiencing since the revolution in 2011 that's all the more important harness husband works as a pig on the side despite a fixed income as a cat in a youth center. and is on letterman on a. i've been picking jasmine since year 6 at school it's allowed me to pay for my training and all the normal expenses i have and clothes food books and so on the money really helped with everything. easier for. me here. even though the pickers income is above average there's only a 6 month season for the job woodstock said may or june. that's why i come out runs a small pigeon breeding facility on the side the birds taste great and also sell for around 3 euros each the whole thing is independent of the seasons because

pigeons mate all year round. and. that's one way the people of the nile delta prepare for the flowers time in the winter people find a 2nd job. to seed factory these wife jury for are a dream team with a sophisticated aroma they both already had their fathers before they met for the 1st time when the chemistry was right they joined forces and they now supply customers in 80 countries their business requires a sure instinct and a good nose customers only want the exact quality they need for their product the geranium oil or a neroli essence can quickly be too bad for a persian put also to good. to to have very high standards for

the products they make do completely without chemicals the same is true in the ethical area these 2 don't just pay lip service to social responsibility. and the jury for family does. school 2 years ago there were several teachers in 3 d. classes most of the $140.00 pupils were the children of the farm's pickens the oldest of them were already helping out on the fields. for little time and i like the school very much we get books and can learn all kinds of things our teachers even teach as english and science with the qur'an and many other useful things we also read stories we have everything we want here.

at the afternoon classes up supposed to replace the state school but add to it and that's very necessary even if it was self interested way for the rober producers and who's saying. it's a huge lack it's a huge lack because what statistics are telling us is not reality we figured out that that people graduate from school and they don't treat them right and they figured out because we are here in a rural area and we would like to hire some people in a middle management jobs and they say yes i graduated from school well what is your c.v. come we give them a small. tasks to do and they're not even. now it's time to process the jasmine.

elaborate process lasted several. days the very last drop of a rumor is removed from its blossoms and step one the flowers but spread out in several layers in huge steel vents and after the lids are closed they are immersed in liquid 6 in the cold so. it's absolutely odorless and ideal for binding the scent of the jasmine. step to the hexane he's pumped into another container a labyrinth of pipes look a bit be crappy in this container it's heated until it's almost completely evaporated. then it's time for step 3.

in the heel this make sure that you're not just the thing or is it. a bit like in the wine industry. the lead at the bottom line does article that you don't want in the interests of those in what remains of. us citizen in what sense the final art of the work will get us the full breadth of. the little bit basil is ready for them them in essence to be extracted in numerous quantities huge contains.

this is what the biomass looks like after it's had it sent to extracted a hot brackish brownlow. but he had to there's not a single gram of toxins in the heap which is why the matter is perfect for campaspe . before hussein took over the farm from his late father bed in the late ninety's he was a scientist. as the green biologist he spent many years diving in swiss mountain lakes as a colleague of the deep sea podia just became. hussein has remained a scientist every process on his farm such as producing fertilizer is refined by him i'm told the result is perfect. oxygen saturation 7 taishan turns he developed until the compost has

a perfect consistency. if . we're getting close to the final 2 production steps of the most valuable product here on the factory farms. the jasmine concentrate has been separated from any suspended matter and was reheated once again to produce jasmin concrete. it's now such a valuable liquid that it requires 3 signatures just to weigh it. when

the liquid cools it becomes solid. unmoving in my hand here i found to conquer the cabin and loft. without constant rain did in 5. 40 percent of this is the bike rolled up black which cannot be used by the perfume in the remaining 60 percent because the oil and would take the name of jasmine out . and i can smell it and. now very nice and i'm sorry and all. the food the essences said all around the world has one final production step of the solid yellow a waxy must. this material is what it is. and i will proceed by rating. which i would like to hear for you. don't want to want to be collecting yeah. this

would be a bump in the fine detail. but for fun about 3.33.5 tons of carbon a lot. of her colleagues had to pick more than 3.3 terms of just me blossoms on the fields to produce one on you 1000000 container with 5 kilograms of jasmine absolute. the market value of this concentrate to concentrate to the concentrate is around $22000.00 euros sure. but jens mode is just one of the $82.00 products that hussein and to repot make on the far. most of them don't come anywhere close in value to what the jasmine

absolute is worth there's rosewater for example which is so old bugger had to leave to. the different essences last door to the big hole until it's time to ship the. quality control from start to finish. every product he's exactly did detail from the most expensive ingredients for the purview of his creations down to cheap bulk goods for industry customers don't like mistakes the quality can't be approximate it must be exact. we've never seen a dog or a cat to this whole during all the days we spent on the farm that's probably because this intensity of scent would drive that delicate nosies crazy even the cd a warehouse manager sometimes overwhelmed by told a constant old factory bombardment. over time the scent gets

annoying i try to neutralize it and drink a lot of milk whenever i get a moment i catch some fresh air. for thousands of years people of the nile delta have made a living off jasmine the river is the lifeline in the middle of a hostile desert that produces the most colorful fronds the nile delta the cradle of sense. is quite exceptional and we connect to the very roots of of egypt both from a land point of view this is agriculture and planting and from the type of products that we produce aromatics we basically relate to as medics and boyd's and everything dealing with beauty and people can easily imagine how this goes back to ancient egypt. and pharaoh's and so on and we basically still carry this and what

we do. smelling something is something that you cannot catch something that you know comes very deep you have no control it's perhaps one of those senses it's not the only sense on which you have no control i mean if you stop breathing you die you can close your eyes and you can sleep and stop watching that's no problem you don't have to touch things but you can stop breathing. hard. when there's some sense the pickers would prepare for the next night shift grabbed by graham kilo by kilo they could light tons and just move blossoms to extract tiny quantities of the aroma the aroma of which it said that no purview would be thinkable without just the queen of sense.
