a growing scale global trade doesn't always make sense. in today's world goods and services are traded between countries and continents on an unprecedented scale as globalization is credited with boosting economic growth free trade is a big honor for the corporations and benefits millions of people around the world but the price for that prosperity say critics is paid by the poor and nowhere is that gulf more visible than in africa. 54 percent of the continent's workforce relies on the agricultural sector but cheap and often subsidized goods brought in from asia and europe are swamping domestic markets causing prices to plummet. over 120000 tons of tomato products enter ghana annually that's a $95.00 fold increase since imports began in 1996 and that boom is taking its toll on local producers. tomatoes

they could be goners red to gold the soil is ideal and they've been cultivated in the country for decades yet ghana's tomato factories now stand empty and farmers are opting to leave the country. there are many reasons unstable powergrid unsuitable tomato varieties and the global trade policy it's only china and other countries are dumping canada and processed tomatoes on ghana. benedicto a free fuck is a tomato farmer into a bottle in the middle of one of garner's main tomato production regions the many day neighbor is looking to be hired during the harvest season attests to widespread unemployment even at the busiest time of year some work to find work.

nearly half of garner's population lives from agriculture a robust tomato growing industry would boost growth in rural areas nowhere is this industry more likely to flourish and here in the country's fragile middle belt where you but now that factories are no longer buying locally grown produce farmers are becoming increasingly worried that. benedict grows tomatoes on a heck tariff land if you believe the. devil. and that's and that's why unions would there be also 2 who we have to buy water every day when it doesn't rain or. a change of water cost $120.00 c.d.'s 20 year old was and that's not even enough for the whole farnaby aswell but we have to buy water every day for about a month and a half until the rain comes if we have a lot of problems which makes it hard to serve. live in this country and i'm

a interment now my. crops grow in abundance here the farmers could cultivate even more land and employ more workers yeah but they lack funds if they want to buy seed and fertilizer and pay for irrigation water they need to take out loans. benedictus husband has gone to italy hoping to earn money to help support the family to pay for the children's school fees and also says they can invest in a house and a well to irrigate their crops. need to pay it but it's a value when my husband can earn more there than in ghana where the city. he sends money every month. for me and our 2 children may now play. your mind your money palace and. free trade is the principle that opens the african market to exports after independence african

countries introduced customs duties in order to protect domestic farmers and emerging industries but now these restrictions are being lifted despite the fact that most african nations still struggle to compete on the international market garner came under international pressure when it tried to increase import tariffs on tomato products to 40 percent that now are 10 percent and containers full of cut price tomatoes continue to arrive in the country. now that the factories are closed farmers such as benedikt i have to sell that produce to the market queens to sell it on in the cities. there's a surplus of produce during the harvest season so the farmers have to sell at rock bottom prices. is the amazon match for 320 c.d.c. they offered 270 and said others. getting even last time at this crisis i wander in

anything out but in. my own mind. tomatoes are a food staple in ghana they account for 40 percent of spending on vegetables middle class canadians like their tomatoes camp donna couldn't eat at least a portion of its demand itself but the canned tomatoes here on the market are not domestic ones so much has changed so much even if some of this has been some of the street i'll be very happy if we have a company going around that you could use a lot tomatoes condé and little people points if you call it sit and drink and exist when it was a minute when big money to the kind of skills the country to give an. economist call banal to is familiar with the problem and as an academic he can

speak more freely than the gun and government which has to take into account international investors. so this one child. will have a limited touch of presenter matthew. about 70 percent spots. need to modify such. changes things across the top most points while bob was there a while back about 3 years ago and paul told stick on food from the us and us could run out of the african growth and opportunity is. what was called vishal was their response company if you try to change policy here by the. time.

prejudicial about the struggle i've. heard us make in a song sometimes put up on top of all those inappropriate had both. the new sets of men and. women will. almost surface globalization seems to be bringing people closer together but some of us are more in others we visited 8 countries in asia and europe to see the conditions people actually walk under and found differences but also similarities almost social justice from. the latest episode in our series work places. 8000 people work at this site in central java. and she's one of the people in charge michelle joe cross

a patrol took over the textile company 10 years ago when her father died she had no previous experience in the field that nearest was in. that that situation is because of the 98 crisis so led by my local fire it was still in the hope that like a bat that situation so it means that we couldn't pay to. install wind bands we call it category 5 in smart liquid it was challenging and then but it also set the course of my journey. at the age of just 25 the young woman suddenly found herself heading a sizeable company and she had to implement some major changes. now there are only a few really old machines left at the factory for example in its dye works joe close a patrol took out loans and invested in modern technology the machines have made production much more efficient they save electricity. and make life much easier on

staff as well the boss has also just started using thread made from sustainable sources. and this thread is made from wood near the city of porto in portugal it's also used to sew products for a german startup co-founder team makes clothes out of a material called tensile the wood based fibers breathe well and they make a material that's quite durable this is not throwaway fashion in the book if you did you can make a really cool fabric out of this it's extremely soft and that's why we decided on wood as a source we're working with the raw material that grows here and is also being processed here in europe. sustainably managed forests the 1st step. is to put it through. the.

thread. this process saves up to 1000 liters of water per t. shirt for the team at wild sustainability is part of the corporate image raw materials production and transport routes are all in and from europe not asia like most clothing manufacturers that further reduces its carbon footprint. michelle. would also like to go down the sustainable route she has plans to gradually increase production at dan leary with wood and every year at the moment just one to 2 percent of the company's clothes are made this way but the even being used for the traditional clothing that's so popular in indonesia it's usually made out of silk or cotton so the change is a breakthrough albeit on a small scale for now. it's actually showing us more shine which actually interests . it's like more i think the marketplace and it's the challenge. of how

we can be more sustainable i think. partly responsible. you know climate change and all the ways that we bring at least from my part how can i be more sustainable. the business woman has also changed the way the company produces cotton all the factories cut waste is now recycled and reprocessed into products like baskets or furniture. cycling is done by older members of the community as well as people from the region with disabilities for many the extra income is very welcome. in europe and his team maintain good working conditions for stuff. in doing so is it here regulations. these

stipulate that as a rule employees shouldn't work more than 8 hours a day. breaks must be guaranteed and sick leave with pay as well. the young company is distancing itself from the sectors conventionally cheap mentality an item of clothing from wild costs at least $30.00 euros and that's ridiculous of course it's more expensive because we're producing in portugal within the e.u. for sure it's more expensive to use sustainable materials but direct sales via our website mean we can offer the clothes at a reasonable rate so people can still afford to buy them. stuff on the fly from portugal used to be the cheapest place to produce clothes in europe then competitors from asia and eastern europe sent the industry into a tailspin portugal struggle to hold its own but through investment and innovation products like. technical textiles that are for example fire resistant or smartphone

compatible the sector was able to recover it now accounts for 10 percent of portugal's exports and 19 percent of all jobs in manufacturing. employees extend leary's work a 40 hour week with paid overtime and health insurance this is unusual in indonesia michelle joe cross a patro wants to motivate her stuff. her new incentives are focused on further training opportunities for promotion and workforce wellbeing employees who have been working here for 20 years have observed many changes in that time. 35 year old nami has been working here for 7 years she works in quality control. that it is in the amount that. the company has supported me but also myself that it funded my university course forth on the thinking that one out

of say out of the wages here at down levies are better than those paid by similar companies. that now that the album that is the money for i started working here i worked somewhere else and that's how i know people that enable the sound of the. machines can change. that the people are. not there is how we do things. in our global snack this time from uganda. kampala the capital of uganda the country's rich soil produces almost anything the heart or the stomach does. ayers and its street food is unparalleled among other

delicacies the roadside stands here serve up uganda's unofficial national dish the rolex a timeless tree. a rolex will fill you up longer than other males you can order rice or motto which is mush planting but that won't satisfy your hunger for more than 4 or 5 hours but a rolex will opt for even longer. a rolex is basically an omelet rolled into patty patty was introduced to east africa by indian immigrants in the mid 19th century it's a kind of unleavened flatbread cooked on a skillet in oil the. final magaro i makes this quick snack all day long from 5 in the morning to 10 at night but what's the best time for

a rolex from the general public what's in it does not i'm but any time you feel like god money to buy and you feel like you're hungry you can buy. pfizer the stand is an insider's tip in the neighborhood. well we're. looking. at the heart of the rolex is the omelet usually cooked with tomato onion cabbage and chili peppers one of these snacks costs $1500.00 ugandan shillings around $0.40 so earns about 11 euro's a day with the snacks so much more on the weekends. once it's browned and sizzling the omelet is rolled between 2 chip patties then it's ready to eat. things i don't know what i don't know stand this cleaner or better than this one. so why do i don't why

that i want to know it's simply the best neck shop in this entire neighborhood and i was single. and that's a special treat on valentine's day so offers his customers a heart shaped rolex. a romantic snack to go. dolls might not seem like the most inviting creatures but they've had a lot of bad press over the years in fact they have more reason to be afraid of os than vice versa. the reptilian predators are themselves hunted in many parts of the world. they also fall victim to human made pollution in the rivers they inhabit as seen in belize. reporter can't you don't know visited the area around the capital. and met with people committed to protecting the animals.

for a small crocodile has been kept as a pet for the past 3 years and has clearly grown used to its creature comforts. this is from a lot of chickens. keeping a crocodile in your garden pond is illegal in belize reptiles that have been confiscated by the author of put into the care of marie said tay is on her in geo research coalition. 66 where i tell people i study crocodiles what comes to mind are dangerous paths birman man eaters monsters and all this stands for all dramatize ation that you see. as well as the media. for mercer tales and her fellow conservationists every crocodile deserves protection with the help of a local vet she gives this more or less crocodile a check up before taking the specimen to its new home this year such

a good fat boy. originally from the us has been fascinated by large predators since she was a child. her doctoral thesis focused on crocodiles. today and she's effectively belize's chief lobbyist for the reptiles. it's an hour long day trying throughout the country with the crocodile and the back to see. whether this crocodile will ever be fit for reintroduction to the wild still remains to be seen. crocodiles are part of life in the rivers and lagoons of belize but most people want as little contact as possible with them not surprising given the largely negative headlines i'm not want to get harmed by crocodiles because. i love my feet on my hands so that's to the interest for me. going to want their on

the cop car you would be a bike that your feet. where would be in your. peaceful coexistence with the animals is possible. as is eager to communicate whenever she can today she's bringing that message to a podcast people that are protecting one species of the world think it's dangerous and it's. in our mission is to assist educate the protection and conservation of crocodiles and their habitat research and when she's not fighting for greater awareness she dedicated her self to individual crocodiles in need of help. the coalition small team also get outside support among their partners is the national zoo. the vets here see to those animals that require intensive medical treatment. one of the more acute cases is

a tragic one evidently someone tried to chop this crocodile's tail off for some tribes in belize a delicacy. luke was able to escape with his tail half severed he was found by chance by the crocodile research coalition while out on an excursion how luke escapes from someone chopping at his tail we will never know but he has an important story to tell. the tale has yet to grow back together properly if they decide they have to. remain in the zoo as a warning that crocodile hunting. and illegal hunting is far from the only danger faced by crocodiles. urban expansion is also a problem in many areas the new river near the town of orange in the north of the country has become toxic and indeed lethal for the reptiles. there is something in the water that has been causing

a high rate of death. and when you conducted the new crops everything. had turned to mush these krakow have been slowly dying for months. probably waste water discharge by the sugarcane factories. head out to check on the crocodile population at night when there are. some baby crocs are small enough to be plucked out of the water by hand. the examinations only take 5 minutes long enough for the specimen to have various measurements and samples taken and it's skin analyzed. like.

skins. and this young animal at least seems to be in great health but will not remain the case in addition to moralise crocodiles belize is also home to a 2nd species the far larger american crocodile across the country both species live on an increasingly restrictive and polluted habitat. so currently both species are protected by law however there is no conservation and national action plan to all this data that we are collecting it is to help the government to then create the most appropriate action plan. is right here. tonight it's expedition is not a very fruitful one the cim haven't spotted many crocodiles. now he's

now he went way way back. another day another task marissa taylor is visiting one of the larger crocodiles being tended to by her organization. gillie also used to be kept as a pet and is now to tame to ever be returned to the wild. day. state usually. uses a few basic commands for the purposes of training and gaining gillies respect target where you go good target. even if gilly seems relatively harmless marissa's says crocodiles belong in the wild and many of the specimens she sees need help to survive that this is where education is so important because education provides the knowledge the knowledge to be able to co-exist with these animals because we can co-exist with these animals and business cultures have been coexisting with these animals for thousands and thousands of years.
