11:15 am
dive into the river again on july 30th, 2024. and with that now you're up to date on database news up next it is doc film taking a look at the hidden cost of orange juice. there's always more on the website, the w dot com. you can also all of us on social media. i'm sarah kelly and for length, thanks for watching with i tried several times. i went one on 6 times tourism. currently, more people than over on the move worldwide insert and one, take me control is very hard to say very difficult, jody. find out about simon story. info migrants
11:16 am
ah, orange juice is a several $1000000000.00 industry. brazil is the world's largest citrus producer. here on almost 600000 to hector's of land oranges are grown. some of them becoming germany's favorite juice. thousands make their living picking oranges. but there is much to criticize about their working conditions. to fight, don't want to dance. your under extreme pressure and accident can happen because you're concentrating on the harvest and get careless scott, possibly it's scott will you're on top of a ladder with heavy bag on your shoulders. musk is basically trenice like human beings. he's not like live stock. shirley depend on them, but they also depend anacio. who else is going to pick the oranges?
11:17 am
ah, is there any truth to these accusations? we embark on a journey to brazil to investigate? how is the orange juice produced there? ah, to 4 30 am the many orange biggers in the state of sal. paolo are already on their feet. among them is alfonso like any other day. he has 8 hours of work ahead of him. as the gothic a sick leave this canister was 5 liters of water. no, that's not enough for a day's world. the sun is too strong looking off and he to these canisters to get through the day mortal. you drink 10 leaders a day here. we yes,
11:18 am
exactly. the sun is very homes in temperatures on the plantations can reach up to 35 degrees celsius directly under the sun. it feels even hotter. for 6 years, alfonso has been picking oranges for the juice industry from monday to saturday. and a good month, he earns about $250.00 euros. that is more than the brazilian minimum wage yet he barely manages to make ends meet for himself. his wife and their daughter, jo boss, which is, you know, i saw nathan. i like the worry though many don't think i, i but everyone here need cynthia. they have to work by many, also have families guarantee you can get by with what you earn on my or there's nothing. but i'll save active is tyrese will be that even though it's hard, i want my daughter to have what i didn't have no matter how hard it is, even without my el mims in do bazaar. i phone so's wife,
11:19 am
also used to work as an orange picker. now he is the sole bread winner because i phone so would like to spare her the work in the fields. ill go, boston sophie mandel can at us off in the mail. listen as it is now. yes. so issue with i don't want her to suffer like i do. you work in the sun rains, hold extreme. he thought it is physically exhausting. bagley's 27 kilos. that's too much foreseen. i mean, i don't mean for women in general that for my wife from you, i don't want her to have to endure what i go through in the field. you go past the horses critical pos ah, what exactly do alfonso and his colleagues experience in the field we want to accompany them, but filming the pickers at work is not so easy as we are about to find out. ah, we'll be in
11:20 am
a shot at the village where our phone so lives is rather remote just around 5000 people normally live here in. but between may and december, that number can grow to 6000. this is because the region around will be shot up, which is in the state of sal. paolo is home to most of brazil's orange plantations . many are seasonal workers who come to the village from northeastern brazil some 2000 kilometers away, where people have fewer opportunities to earn money. in sao paolo, they work for a few months each year before returning home. after the harvest is finished. to reach the plantations, alfonso has to travel by bus for 45 minutes. the ride is organized by the company, but the workers aren't compensated for this time.
11:21 am
we would like to accompany alfonso, but his employer won't give us permission. we ask on other plantations to but do not get permission to shoot. most claim. it's due to coven 19 security measures. but our team has attracted attention in the area. it seems we are being watched me a minute. the blood isn't a hard to buy some good a little little we were hoping to visit a phone, so and his family again in the afternoon. but that's not possible any more. the plantation owner has informed alfonso that he has violated his contract. the apartment he rents is provided by his employer, and according to the contract,
11:22 am
he is not allowed to let outsiders in, including us even though our visit was arranged with a phone so supervisor the day before, alfonso is banned from working for 11 days, losing almost half of his monthly salary, affonso request, we do not contact his employer. but we ask the association of brazil's major of citrus producers, citrus b, r. to clarify the situation it is not possible to obtain accurate information about the alleged incident. however, it is likely that depending on the company's code of conduct, the employee has signed a contract for bidding them to disclose internal company information which may be considered serious misconduct. since we are still being watched, we call off the shoot with a phone. so we don't want him to get into any more trouble the fact that our
11:23 am
visit had such drastic consequences for our phone so raises more questions for us. how exactly does the orange industry work in brazil, around 75 percent of the world's orange juice, exports come from the country to make it workers pick between $65.11 oranges a year by hand. the industry is dominated by 3 multi national companies. louis dreyfus, citrus circle, and co trolley they are responsible for a large part of the juice exports, about half of the oranges for global juice production come from their own plantations. the other half comes from independent farmers who supply the industry . ah, ah, days after we last saw a phone, so we finally get permission to shoot at an orange field in sao paolo,
11:24 am
the visit is organized by the jews companies association on the plantation of one of their suppliers. unlike in supermarkets back home, the orange is here are green and yellow. this has nothing to do with ripeness, but rather with temperature, the green chlorophyll, and the peel only breaks down below 12 degrees celsius. and this is what makes them orange. in this field, 30 workers pick oranges for consumption in brazil and the global juice industry using a latter, the workers pick the fruit from the trees which are up to 5 meters tall. a filled sack weighs about 27 kilos.
11:25 am
by 30 documentary beginning, i did everything wrong for murder. now i knew that you worked a tree from top to bottom and one go ha ha. when i started i picked all the trees individually just at the bottom, and then i picked them all again, individually. article just at the top, i took the boxes up se, dyer donald are in the wrong place. it was very complicated. but back with we notice that tremendous speed at which the workers pick with their bare hands. each of them harvests about 1.6 tons of oranges a day. so on average, each one fills just under $827.00 kilo bags per hour. those who can't keep up this fast paced risk losing their job. at least according to the union, lou,
11:26 am
we meet up what i see though peaceable. he works for the agricultural union, fed i asked, which also conducts independence studies documenting the working conditions on the plantations. i dare dare gotta d w. lewis you called on that day. me neither going to dodge it. these companies only keep the workers who pick a certain amount of santa card to be able to do the job next year to they have to harvest an average of 60 back. in addition, the boss, known as the got to who constantly exerts pressure though, and this is because his salary also depends on how much the workers harvest kept to no problem. ice the $1000000000.00 juice companies pay the legal minimum wage of $1200.00 ray eyes. the equivalent of around $200.00 euros a month, regardless of the amount harvested this wage is barely enough to survive in brazil . that's why according to the union, many workers try to collect even more, so they can top up their pay with bonuses.
11:27 am
we need e b up hub and nettle director of citrus b r. the association of the 3 juice giants. he is the voice of the brazilian orange juice industry. he explains that the productivity principle is there to reward those who work hardest. this increases an average salary to about 280 arose. although nettle states that he does not know the specific quantities, workers are expected to harvest. he struggles to understand the criticism of the productivity principal will meet my dis, doing you every job you have to reach a certain goal in order to continue working with and doesn't seem strange to me by that. but you have a certain goal and has to be achieved with it. i don't see why i should be any different in orange county as idiots. that ain't john here on the plantation where the association has given us permission to film conditions appear ideal. e b up hob neto assures us that what we see here is common practice. across the citrus
11:28 am
industry. workers are wearing personal protective equipment, goggles and gloves, against the sharp, thorns of the trees and leg protection against poisonous snake bites. these are required by labor law on all orange farms. the industry association assures us this is also written in the contract with their suppliers and orange pickers. but the union tells us a different story. with the union's help, we find a small plantation in sao paolo where we shoot unnoticed and without permission here, things look very different. some of the workers don't have snake protection or gloves . we cannot say with certainty whether these oranges are also intended for jews. but what we see here is no exception. say the trade unionists also in the juice industry. i
11:29 am
ah, bell by hendo agrees. the 70 year old has dedicated his life to fighting for the rights of brazilian orange pickers. he was the head of the fed. i as for union until 2017 though he is now retired ob alba hendo still maintains close contact with the workers and nobody showed up. which is how he learns 1st hand about the conditions on the plantations. it gives me see what else to basel debarber book day. the workers rarely have any protective equipment, especially at the smaller suppliers where conditions are worse. if they do not follow health and safety regulations, you java companies have been allowed to outsource work since 2017. this means that they can hand over work and responsibility for it to 3rd parties,
11:30 am
including individuals. as the ministry of labor explains, it's especially these sub contractors who often lack the financial resources for protective gear or compliance with labor laws. as outsourcing has grown since 2017, the problems for orange pickers have grown to finish a simpkins closing on the missouri assessing but is not as in call to them so we always find violations with 3rd party companies are involved in the top on the top on outdoor this product or manner the working conditions of a smaller producers are often not the same as those of the big companies that purchase. the fruit prosecutor shows they madonna has been monitoring labor law violations for 25 years, including on orange plantations. on site inspections. are part of his job time and
11:31 am
again, he encounters unregistered pickers working off the books. he describes to us the violations he encounters when inspecting workers more that the hill are their living conditions are precarious saying it, but they have no personal protective equipment individual. this is what pictures of former inspection show in the last 7 years. the ministry of labor in sao paolo has recorded over 1300 violations, mainly among the industries smaller suppliers. as the prosecutor tells us, in the note they won't color, they plowed the buffers. yes. so he faced so there's often no place for workers to have a proper meal or even toilet suffering from catawba. we also see the mishandling of agro chemicals. da da da. coma nears with black box. madonna and his colleagues usually carry out inspections on the basis of specific complaints for a few years now, the number of inspections has been decreasing. what is the reason for this?
11:32 am
the inspections are not a priority for politicians. the prosecutor explains. since the country has been in a severe economic crisis, funds have been cut and there's a lack of personnel and on site inspections need just that time money and personnel also because they can only take place with police protection no falls. im was up at all site. think jasa say goodness, poor kid lost no sub. it was all good. all jenny was about. we don't conduct as sections without security personnel. what was that? because we never know the level of hostility will encounter alyssa, we often encounter supervisors who are prone to violent by that do in the weather. numerous workers reporting to events. and with those we've, it's often drummed into them that government inspection is there to take away their job or vsl, instead of improving their conditions, sounded about it. that's why we only go with securities. go secret us. we ask e b of ha bonito. what does he know about the conditions on the plantations,
11:33 am
especially with independent suppliers? so see quaint mucus. so us keep an eye by lona software at the design us eat data this nonsense data does not this bomber 50000 people work in the field every year? yet, and i guarantee you that in our field is here in the fields of the industry in was not working conditions. lloyd, our state of the art, the doot doot doot and our suppliers are encouraged, motivated by, trained to do their best, but them being as if someone doesn't play by the rules she tail gate that has to be address lukea g as a haggard, a ne, i e, so thinks the violations are the perception. i go into not the rule that has got his cell alleyah this. so noah had whether that's true or not, we can't say, however, prosecutors was, they might do it on our reports, that conditions did not improve during the pandemic. and he describes further problems. altima is best so large mazda thick them was
11:34 am
a locked room adipose. another me g, during the last inspection of an orange plantation by we discovered a group of about $37.00 workers. it was the cold seasons looked, some of them were living in apartments without betting without adequate mattresses sank without protection from the cold. he is full said the cloud saint protest, so a condo for you. we also witnessed similar housing conditions, but can show them only in part to protect the workers. this is accommodation that companies rent to migrant workers. these images show footage from 2020 by swiss n g o. public eye workers living in cramped quarters, then broken mattresses. hardly any furniture, partly without protection from the often chilly evening temperatures between june and august. and sao paolo the unions to report poor
11:35 am
housing conditions then what, what, what are your go? there are no decent beds, no bathroom get wasn't, you know, decent place to rest before going to work the next day. did the conditions and many houses are terrible. you know, you and the next morning they have to get up without having properly recovered to go back to picking oranges in the field. wasn't really yet. citrus producers, citrus who go cooper, ali and louis dreyfus right to inform us that there housing conditions meet the required standards. no official figures or information on housing is available for the independent suppliers. he says that despite poor housing or working conditions, many are too afraid to complain or file a lawsuit. as imperialist k, i won't be caught you. yes, sorry. became a conversely, the companies keep
11:36 am
a record of the workers who complain and they can forget about being hired against us on death on this practice should be banned or could have. so ged, people shouldn't risk being punished or demanding their rights is local. no, so jeannette, nice fellows, no person skill sets of new companies, blacklisting workers. can it be true? our team meets a local lawyer who wants to remain anonymous at all costs for fear of the companies . he knows several workers who are not satisfied, but the fear of possible consequences from filing a complaint is great. he forwards us a voice message from one of his clients. john said, approved probably did the so please give forget about my complaint ever about that . we need this work, go move it into my family and i can't afford to lose this job. please,
11:37 am
excuse me. we sat get up. what can we do to get your father, boy, industry association, citrus, be our rights to us. the companies are regularly audited by both the ministry of labor and the unions. this shows that ways to launch complaints exist and are effective. it is important to highlight that brazilian legislation guarantees that any worker can claim their rights in a court of law. so during our research, we learned that it's especially workers on the suppliers, plantations. the smaller and independent companies who are not always well protected. we are on our way to meet former farmer. he had an e b as o t. we don't know what working conditions were like for him in the but he tells us
11:38 am
that he too was under enormous pressure as a supplier. no, no, i'm me. a eden ye. yes. wrought you might miss even e e e e b. as a teacher, lou didn't didn't, i worked as an orange farmer for 30 years, did all of a sudden, i had to give a tug of pot and leave everything behind this align left with room by sadness. yours. happy i. my memories, so dodgy, elaine, but his on his 60 hector's of land, he farmed oranges, which he sold to could trolley and citrus who go to major citrus exporters. he did not have fixed contracts for the regular purchase of his oranges. he says, the big industry players only bought oranges when the harvest from their own fields was not enough. the purchase price often fluctuated. at times he says he had to sell his oranges at absurdly low prices. in the end, he could no longer cover the costs of production and harvesting,
11:39 am
and it was costing him too much to maintain his plantation was 5th hon out did he barons from after his i 30 years i worked the fields with lower and dedication gaudy until i was so indebted or bitter god, but that i had to give up everything equal, which is very sad and winter. that is mm be as auntie is $75.00 and it will take him at least 4 more years. he calculates to pay off his debts. he recently joined a class action lawsuit in london against juice, giant coo trolley represented by the law firm, p g m b m. more than 1500 former farmers are suing for financial compensation. the allegation is that could trolley was part of a cartel that colluded to push down the purchase price of oranges, bankrupting small farmers could trolley denies the allegations. the company, however, has already admitted to price fixing once before in 2016. while filming,
11:40 am
we meet a woman who has also filed a lawsuit against one of the big companies to protect her identity. we will call her be doria. she's been working as a picker in the orange fields of sao paolo for 27 years. having come here from northeastern brazil as a child, her parents wanted to build a better life for themselves. and in the beginning they were doing just that. let me close it up for me, orange picking was every thing with me. i never wanted to stay at home. i always wanted to be on the field. oh, today i only go because i have to, i need the money. my don't know. she earns between $180.28 euros a month, but says her health is suffering the usually since 2018. i'm no longer the same with him as back then i was healthy, but to day i'm playing my headaches and my whole body hurts the rib. so the badly
11:41 am
the knees. i meant a lot of pain, a fade she wanted to spare her children, but in order to have enough money to live, her husband also works in the fields and they're 21 year old daughter recently started to know the east side. this is complicated. i didn't want this kid in leadership can william heating, but we don't have a choice. but if he's, it's difficult. i didn't want my children. they're picking oranges in the field with me at the law knowing they might get bitten by a snake or fall off the ladder because they take that risk every day. with this guy, there's got to be them, would kill his kids claypole me. it's terrifying, turned on me. she worried that their health will be compromised too. since 2018 victoria has had to take daily medication for shortness of breath and
11:42 am
headaches. she believes it's the pesticides and the orange fields that have made her sick. remember was he moved to north to 1000 with you about mit? i remember it like it was yesterday and i felt sick on the plantation and in the afternoon i couldn't work anymore for the cook. i went home while my husband continued to work the next day. i couldn't get out of mail. jesus, my whole body was hurting the money that i went to the doctor and was on the sick leave for a week cubism, i needed money. bainbridge, when i asked the company if they would reimburse me, they asked why believes and i said that i had suffered poison a google duncan. victoria explains how pesticides are often sprayed near the workers. this happens in the fields all the time. she says both her former employer and the industry association reject these accusations.
11:43 am
so why you're going to see any bought this should not happen under any circumstances. so again, boss, so what i see here are extreme situations. hobbs that are absolutely a typical you cannot serve as a reference city or common practice. but on the brazilian citrus industry could do it up until in the brazilian ministry of health calculates that. on average one person dies every 2 days in brazil from pesticide poisoning. the amount of these deaths that can be attributed to orange forming though cannot be estimated but victoria is certain that her symptoms are due to pesticide poisoning. in 2019, she decided to take her case to court. a step that has not been easy for her. and moved to don't porch in her coming to me and we'll get if as is goldie,
11:44 am
keep gillies are big companies and they're very powerful. i wouldn't recommend any want to mess with them. boylen. i didn't really want to do it. don't see, this is a very small city of engineers travels fast. it was a glock up. we had lucy's cake. one and 2. skin can make it hard to find work the inflows ability no, probably the tory as case was dropped before evidence was even presented. but she received a small amount of compensation. her wish for the future is that the workers on the plantations are treated with respect trade unionist, about se door knows other workers who have experienced similar problems. he would like to see the companies regularly check their employees for pesticide poisoning. oh, i shall. i won't say there's also so not a problem. i think they got some w, a going official, g nathan. i would like the companies to address the problem without the need for
11:45 am
outside parties to intervene on tommie eskew. but the industry won't is. so i think workers should definitely sue and defend themselves political. it's not fair to go to work completely healthy by me and end up poisoned with pesticides in your blood, contacting, allowed to coin. she's gonna talk. according to the industry association, strict guidelines are followed on when and how pesticides are applied to the field . farming oranges is demanding and completely eliminating the use of chemicals is not currently possible, says giuliano, i'd as managing director of phone dacy truce, the research center was funded by orange farmers and the juice industry in 1977 to help make citrus farming more sustainable. new cornish joyce g kalima, the climate in sub tropical areas, like sao paolo, florida, mexico, where it rains a lot. sure is perfect for citrus farming, wisconsin. so and for great productivity and quality. but unfortunately,
11:46 am
it also favors many past us and diseases, therefore, and it's in certain situation this shasta sides are needed to fight them, will donal cause either tomorrow, but i will do ass according to scientists, the huge mano cultures and orange farming, also lead to more past than plant diseases, which is why numerous agro chemicals are used according to phone dacy truce, these do not pose any danger to workers, but the workers who handle the pesticides often lack important expertise, explains the prosecutor who repeatedly carries out inspections for the brazilian ministry of labor almost as quote arm on the arm as an american week does is most demos fault the capacity. so quote, all my major did not stem was probably encounter the following problem. so can we, does this pesticides are stored in correctly for at the bottom?
11:47 am
there's often a lack of training and the handling of these poisons. they are improperly distributed and often without protected equipment. e. in addition, not clothing that has been in direct contact is not adequately cleaned. do sproul good to stay at the main thing is i'm not going to box our investigation takes us to brussels, where we meet larissa. miasma. margie. she's been researching agro chemical use in brazil for 12 years. in 2017, she published her findings in her home country c as in books, this is aster bats. according to the ministry of health, $56000.00 cases of pesticide, poisoning reported between 20102019 not the so that's an average of 10 per day. but the ministry calculates the for every case reported 50 go undetected. that that means that we may have to median seek and poisoned people, but this is
11:48 am
a tragedy. this, i'm going to get out. the brazilian industry says oranges for juice are grown under strict regulations. they say the pesticides used to pose no danger to the workers. but whether that is actually the case is hard to verify, according to bomb body, pesticide poisoning is now always easy to prove it, but of so that's how would you know that there are agro chemicals that you can't take in the black box. other types of testing need to be done on this often a blood test is not enough because his health professionals are also not always trained to detect pesticide pca many highly toxic pesticides used in brazil are supplied from countries in the e u. although some of them are banned in the e you itself, they're still sold to brazil. revolt at st. is this a, is there are a 116 pesticides approved to citrus cultivation in brazil and over 30 of them a band in the u haul yet 10 percent of these band chemicals assaulted to priscilla
11:49 am
by companies in europe. but it does a wound as he trust disagrees saying that only pesticides approved in the e you are used in the orange fields them according to larry some years bombarded ye the band of pesticides could cause parkinson's disease and be carcinogenic, among other things. but the use of these substances also has consequences in the e. u. rob own does my, the pesticides that europe cells come back to the market in the fruit, the juice, the coffee, the meat europe, is one of the biggest consumers of preceding products companies. this is a vicious cycle of poisoning and 2018. the european food safety authority examined the products imported from brazil to the e. you about 7 percent had pesticide residues above the use approved limit and 2019 letty. semi age bombarded, you decided to publish her studies in europe. as a result,
11:50 am
scandinavia as largest organic product supermarket severed it's trade ties with brazil. and bombarded g received threats. was gonna say, well as english now offer english after i launched the english version of the in years, the intimidation and strength, stafford school miss article this se threatening e mails, warnings from colleagues and a break and at home. the more time passed, the more she feared for herself and her 2 sons. in early 2021 bombarded g left brazil and moved to belgium. she's now continuing her research in brussels. her appeal to the e u commission. nobody minimal main to l. mccray. ethics should come 1st and foremost above economic interest. if you can't sell something to others, that is forbidden in your country belt though he needs to act ethically up to walk
11:51 am
away. things are changing for germany in the future. the coalition government is planning to hold exports of pesticides that are not approved in the e u on the basis of protection of human health. similar measures are also being discussed at the e u level or in brazil fund, as he trusts his researching biological past controllers. to reduce the use of pesticides among other things, they are breeding a species of wasp that feeds on one of the past. busy ah, who from this you could probably produce about $100000.00 to maria a month ago and released them in the orange deals there in the citrus bell to looks up auto with its research fund as he trusts as it has already managed to cut down
11:52 am
pesticide used by 50 percent compared to 20 years ago. but doing without agro chemicals is still unsinkable. a sal paolo april. she is it possible to grow oranges organically? here? no, it's a plant that currently produces $200.00 kilos of oranges. would then only yield 10 kilos. s y k to most of the organic orange juice bought in germany comes from mexico, where orange plantations are smaller. after the u. s. germany is the biggest market for orange juice in the world, and the demand for juice is with feels of certification is increasing. in addition to the e u, organic seal, which focuses on ecological sustainability, feels such as gape, our fair plus, and the fair trademark guarantee high social standards. now, honey, i. c. t modus in the hopes of industry shown side langham sustainability is a topic that the juice industry has been reckoning with for a long time at institution to dag. it is now often
11:53 am
a requirement that products are produced according to sustainable criteria. and it's like min klaus, huddling from the german fruit juice industry association, represents the company's selling orange juice on the german market. he is aware of the accusations that minimum labor conditions are not observed everywhere. we discuss selva hoped lawful cba document he had been can housing billions introducing in order for the whole thing to be documented in a traceable way. we didn't, but we decided to certify the orange juice as in cooperation with the brazilian supplier edition. as a result of the rain forest alliance certification has grown quite a bit is of 20192020 lions, said fiducial tim the stuff to be known. hoyt to day i would say it's a basic requirement for orange juice. so i know boss is unfolding fuel volt and soft good rain forest alliance and n g o operating in 70 countries. awards product seals to plantations that meet
11:54 am
certain environmental and social criteria, such as fair working can. since it now certifies around half of the juices in germany, according to industry estimates. in addition to seals, it is also behind initiatives promoting better standards. the new supply chain act, which will take effect starting in 2023, will also force the industry to comply with human rights along its supply chain. but this applies primarily to the direct suppliers of german companies. for the remaining suppliers, it only applies that there are actual indications of a violation. so at the lower end of the supply chain, such as on plantations where most violations occur, the supply chain act as it is now, will have very little effect. back to brazil and will be the genre. this region is where the majority of oranges are picked for the juice and the street. here we witness where the mechanisms fail. we
11:55 am
meet 3 women who speak openly about working for a supplier without registration. just like, according to the ministry of labor and estimated quarter of all orange bickerson hygiene, i think it's much better not to be rochester to be of a feel if i registered with. i think it does have the advantage that you get a medical certificate. if you're saying that if you're not registered the salary, much higher, you get paid to double $0.20 a bag instead of only 10 social security health insurance and pension insurance, which can be important for the future don't matter to them. the main thing for now is to survive. ellen, it's the only thing we have here. there's no other work in this region. english, the majority here picks oranges because it's the only job in town. the oranges are all we have left. and if you don't pick oranges, you die of hunger hill mccoy's. they know that legal regulations are sometimes
11:56 am
disregarded, such as mandatory breaks from work. but they put up with one of us in ohio. if you're not registered, you're free to decide whether you take a break or not. okay? and they'll know, isn't it better to take a break because the work is so hard with the business, but my work less. and if you work less, you earn laughter. going according to the industry association, subcontractors receive regular training and are required to adhere to specific contract clauses. hiring workers who are not legally registered is strictly forbidden by member companies. so any irregularity must be fought against and brought in line with brazil. strict laws a much has improved on the orange plantations in brazil, in recent years,
11:57 am
seals now sat standards. oh, as a result, certified plantations are monitored more regularly. and yet as the prosecutor from the ministry of labor witnesses again and again, the strict rules are constantly broken in order to produce more cheaply itsyana of his days old clout, of better sizes. that sample. though this year i have done 3 or 4 inspections in the state of sal paolo every time our department, my presence dickens, the workers were not registered equal in order for loss to be respected in the state must act quote, one more visible and present it is what part of the fewer violations there will be? mid nora, but still get all disco premium. in other words, more state controls are needed. but these are not in sight right now. on brazil's plantations, oranges are produced for the world market. a profitable business for the big
