hope nothing comes down here, that whistling otherwise we'll have to hit the ground on the farm. sir, he's very jenko carries on as best he can. he used to send his goats cheese from the front line all across the country. but since the fighting increased mail services have shut down, left a little go paula. our revenues have dropped by 60 percent. but the costs are barely tuning and sharp and moved. loser brother? ah. but at least he has been spared the very worst. he has 8 employees who show up regularly for work and the war hasn't stopped the nanny goats from having kids with him. if i were a pessimist, i wouldn't have started a business in a place like this. i won't stay if it gets occupied, but that won't happen. and if it comes to that,

his uniform is still hanging in the closet. well, not far from ukraine is georgia and the war is wang on people's minds there too. but in the village of to vasta residents are also concerned about making ends meet their incomes rely on a small, delicate plant that is endangered in some other parts of the world. sno drops grow in abundance in georgia and are among the country's top exports. but who is really profiting from the demand? delicate signs of spring, snow drops or among the 1st flower signaling the end of the long winter in the caucasus mountains. with for many georgians there more than just a lovely flower. like many others here. katrina, you are kaylee, makes a living from the bulbs of these early bloomers. gay that we had talked to al young,

flower has been bringing us joy for centuries will go. our main goal is to preserve and spread its population mischief while we will be one of the most efficient ways is to study and expand the areas where it blooms and be said to establish, look that way. we harvest the smallest possible number of bulbs in any given area to return a bush. this strategy aims at building market demand while preserving the flower from extinction is as well as a law that's very important to us. we upper gear volume in medford, we're not with ma. melissa m a needs a is one of only 3 entrepreneurs in georgia license to exports, no drop bulbs to europe in a warehouse. the bulbs are cleaned and sorted with the boss himself getting involved just under a 3rd of the $30000000.00 bullets he exports each year, a wild coming from the mountains,
