8:15 pm
as the morning, please have arrested a 16 year old boy in connection with what appears to have been an act of vandalism . and that's it from me on the new steam. next doc film looks at the hidden cost of the orange juice production, and visit god offers, and berlin from the on the team. the, the the, the, the is, it is someplace her into the more people than ever on the move world wide and such her base in life. i suggested in cardboard, backs on those on what is the image and find out about bailey story. info migrants the,
8:16 pm
the orange juice is a several $1000000000.00 industry. brazil is the world's largest citrus producer. here on almost 600000 hector's, of land, orange is, 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. you're under extreme pressure, an accident happens because they're concentrating on the harvest and getting caraway. scott scott was here on top of the ladder. we'd have to have you back on your shoulder gun landscape. they should treat us like human beings. he's not like live stuff surely depend on them, but they also depend on us. you see who else is going to pick the oranges? is there any truth to these accusations?
8:17 pm
we embark on a journey to brazil to investigate how is the orange juice produced there? the the 4 30 am the many orange pickers in the state of south palo are already on their feet among them as a phone. so like any other day, he has 8 hours of work ahead of him. of this, like i also think a single it's this kind of stir last 5 liters of water. no, that's not enough for a days where the sun is too strong for me. i need 2 of these kind of stairs to get through the day. you drink 10 leaders a day? yes, exactly. the sun is very homes and temperatures on the plantations can reach up to
8:18 pm
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 to earns about $250.00 ers. that is more than the brazilian minimum wage yet he barely manages to make ends meet for himself, his wife and their daughter. last one, just as you know, i honestly, i like the word so many don't think of, i don't, but everyone here need somebody. they have to work by a many also have families going to you. you can get by with what you are and where there's nothing but i'll save the kids. is tyrene alamo, even though it's hard. i want my doctor to have what i didn't have. no matter how hard it su me, it's in to the phone. so his wife also used to work as an orange picker. now he is the sole bread winner because i phone. so we'd like to spare her the work
8:19 pm
in the fields past. and sophie mandel, looking at a software manual. and this is phase now, sol, which i don't want her to suffer like i tried. you work in the sun rains, hold extreme. he the, it's physically exhausting. a bag weighs 22nd q lose. that's too much crossing. i mean, i don't mean for women in general, the other, for my wife from you, i don't want her to have to endure what i go through in the field. you go, boss, my awesome critical up on what exactly do off on so and his colleagues experience in the field we want to accompany them. but filming the pictures that work is not so easy as we're about to find out the will be that shot to the village where our phone so lives is rather remote,
8:20 pm
just around 5000 people normally live here. but between may and december, that number can grow to 6000. this is because the region around will be that shot out, which is in the state of south palo is home to most of brazil's orange plantations . many are seasonal workers who come to the village from northeastern brazil, some 2000 kilometers a way where people have fewer opportunities to earn money and sell palo. they work for a few months each year before returning home after the harvest is finished, the to reach the plantations. a phone so has to travel by bus for 45 minutes. the ride is organized by the company, but the workers aren't compensated for this time. the
8:21 pm
we would like to accompany a phone so, 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 cobit 19 security measures, but our team has attracted attention in the area. it seems we are being watched the ability to buy something we were hoping to visit a phone, so in his family again in the afternoon. but that's not possible anymore. the plantation owner has informed the phone so that he has violated his contract to the apartment. he rents is provided by his employer and according to the contract, he's not allowed to live outside or is in including us.
8:22 pm
even though our visit was arranged with that phone, so a supervisor the day before a phone so is banned from working for 11 days, losing almost half of his monthly salary at our fonts, those requests, we do not contact his employer. but we ask the association of brazil's majors, citrus producers and 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. the since we are still being watched, we call off the shoot without phone. so we don't want him to get into any more trouble the fact that our visit had such drastic consequences for our phone so
8:23 pm
raises more questions for us. how exactly does the orange industry work in brazil? around 75 percent of the worlds, the orange juice exports come from the country to make it workers pick between 65 and 110000000000 oranges a year by hand. the industry is dominated by 3 multi national companies. louis dreyfus, citrus circle, and the controller they are responsible for a large part of the juice exports about half of the oranges for global jews production come from their own plantations. the other half comes from independent farmers who supply the industry the days after we last saw a phone. so we finally get permission to shoot at an orange field and sell palo. the visit is organized by the jews companies association on the plantation of one
8:24 pm
of their suppliers. the unlike in supermarkets back home, the oranges he here are green and yellow. this has nothing to do with writing this, but rather with temperature, the green chlorophyll in the appeal 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 industries. the using the latter, the workers picked the fruit from the trees, which are up to 5 meters tall. a field sacks weighs about 2070 load. the document is beginning,
8:25 pm
i did everything wrong for me and now i knew it doesn't work. the tree from top to bottom and one go when i started rid of it, i picked all the trees individually just at the bottom for frontier. then i picked them all again, individually just at the top and the boxes up say die, we are in the wrong place. it was very complicated for the vehicle. we noticed the tremendous speed at which the workers pick with their bare hands, each of them harvest it's about $1.00 tons of oranges a day. so on average, each one fails just under $827.00 t lo bags per hour. those who can't keep up this fast paced risk losing their job, at least according to the union. or we made a policy though baseball. he works for the agricultural union, federal has,
8:26 pm
which also conducts independence studies documenting the working conditions on the plantations. i the indeed the escape coin around the time, you know, they're going to not those companies only keep the workers who take a certain amount as a sample to be able to do the job next year. they have to harvest an average of 60 back. in addition to the boss known as the got to approve constantly exerts pressure, though in this is because of his salary also depends on how much the workers harvest kept him up with the mice. the $1000000000.00 jews companies pay the legal minimum wage of $1200.00 re ice, the equivalent of around $200.00 euros a month, regardless of the amount harvested this wages barely enough to survive in brazil. that's why, according to the union, many workers tried to collect even more, so they can top up their pay with bonuses. a, we need to be up hub on that, all director of the citrus
8:27 pm
b. r. the association of the 3 jews, 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 or rose. although natural states that he does not know the specific quantities, workers are expected to harvest, he struggles to understand the criticism of the productivity principal. let me find a new one. every job you have to reach a searching in order to continue working on people. that doesn't seem strange to me . by that book. you have a certain goal and it has to be achieved with it. i don't see why it should be any different in orange canada, just sit each page here on the plantation where the association has given us permission to film conditions appear ideal ep. how about mental assures us that what we see here is common practice across the citrus industry. workers are wearing personal protective equipment, goggles and gloves against the sharp,
8:28 pm
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 contracts 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 south hollow 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 introduced industry the best buy had to agree as the 70 year old has dedicated his life to fighting for the
8:29 pm
rights of brazilian orange pickers. he was the head of the fed. i asked for union until 2017 though he's now retired above the handle is still maintains close contact with the workers and it will be that yada, which is how he learns firsthand about the conditions on the plantations. because let me see what else i need to advise you to buy the books to the workers rarely have any protective equipment, especially at the smaller suppliers and where conditions are worse. these, they do not follow health and safety regulations by the companies have been allowed to outsource work since 2017. this means that they can hand over work and responsibility for it to 3rd parties, including individuals. as the ministry of labor explains,
8:30 pm
it's especially the sub contractors who often lack the financial resources for protective gear or compliance with labor laws. the, as outsourcing has grown since 2017, the problems for orange pickers have grown to the real estate. yeah, it's a subcommittee using the most assessing for it is laws and all that i'm seeing where we just find violations when 3rd party companies are involved. just stop by the door to door man. are 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 must do it on now has been monitoring labor law violations for 25 years. including on orange plantations, on site inspections, are part of his job time and again,
8:31 pm
he encounters on registered pickers working off the books. he describes to us the violations he encounters when inspecting workers load id, who are their living conditions are precarious and they have no personal protective equipment thing. did you do all? this is what pictures of former inspection show in the last 7 years. the ministry of labor in south hollow has recorded over 1300 violations, mainly among the industry, smaller suppliers. as the prosecutor tells us, in the notes they look color, they plowed the positive sort of face. so there's often no place for workers to have a proper meal. or even toilet suffering. we also see the mishandling of agro chemicals to the core money ears with level books, food on the end, 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, the inspections are not
8:32 pm
a priority for politicians. the prosecutor explains. since the country has been in a severe economic crisis, funds have been caught 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, follow them as a federal site. i think the eyes of singled us for the last, most of them will get all of the name, was it that we don't conduct the inspections without security personnel? is that because we never know the level of hostility will encounter on this? we often encounter supervisors who are prone to violence. i do anyway, numerous workers reporting to that. and with those we've, it's often drummed into the government inspection is there to take away their jobs instead of improving their conditions. so that's why we only go with securities. we'll stick with us. we ask the pub on it though. what does he know about the conditions on the plantations, especially with independent suppliers?
8:33 pm
so sequence i, mucous. so let's get to that by loan on. i saw for the actual designers, the date of this nonsense data. this last was for minus the 1000 people work in the field every year. yeah, we cannot guarantee use it in our fields. is she doing the fields to be industry even with more working conditions? lloyd in our state of the art the do, do food and our suppliers are in college motivated by trained to do their nicest. besides, if someone doesn't sleep by the rules, she fail game that has to be addressed. who could use a hag, a, b, i. e, so think say violations are the perception of going to not the rule that is gonna sell le this. so no way i had whether that's true or not. we can say, however, prosecutor is jose, my food on our reports, that conditions did not improve during the pandemic. and he describes further problems. ultima is best so not as most of them as a lot to me or the person mother. i mean to,
8:34 pm
during the last inspection of an orange plantation, we discovered a group of about $37.00 workers. it was the cold seasons look the some of them were living in apartments without bedding, without adequate mattresses, sync without protection from the cold key for subject lab. same for that. so a cool though, 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 di workers living in cramped quarters and broken mattresses. hardly any furniture. hardly without protection. from the often chilly evening temperatures between june and august and south palo, the, the unions to report poor housing conditions, the thing,
8:35 pm
what more does your room, there are no decent beds, no bathroom, no decent place to rest before going to work the next day. the conditions in many houses are terrible, and the next morning they have to get up without having properly recovered to go back to picking oranges in the field. citrus producers, citrus to go with raleigh and louis dreyfus right to inform us that their housing conditions meet the required standards. no official figures or information on housing is available for the independent suppliers. the trade unionist policy, though baseball is in contact with many workers in the region. he says that despite for housing or working conditions, many are too afraid to complain or file a lawsuit. i think they're the skinny, i won't be caught,
8:36 pm
you scale aside the cancer. conversely, so the companies keep a record of the workers who complain and they can forget about being hired against us on this, on this practice should be bad. people shouldn't risk beings unrestored, demanding the right. it says, welcome to send you that much, that us the prisoners couple special through the companies blacklisting workers. can it be true? the, our team meets a local lawyer who wants to remain anonymous on 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. is that a problem? probably this sleep skip or get about my complaint about we need this work on
8:37 pm
my family and i can't afford to lose this job. please excuse me. we start get got what can we do? we get go 5, the boy, the 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. the 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. it need be as all the we don't know what working conditions were like for him in the field called but he
8:38 pm
tells us that he too was under enormous pressure as a supplier. no, no, on the new yes. watching, making a lot of this, he's writing e b as i'll see to who didn't, didn't i worked as an orange farmer for 30 years. all of a sudden i have to give it to the bottom, leave everything behind there. so i'm left with sadness. see what was my memories so dodgy, elaine, but his on his 60 hector's of land, he farmed oranges, which he sold to controlling and citrus to go to major of citrus exporters. he did not have fixed contracts for the regular purchase of his orange as he says, the big industry players only bought oranges when the harvest from their own fields was not enough. the purchase price often fluctuate. at times he says he had to sell his oranges at absurdly low prices. indian he could no longer cover the costs of
8:39 pm
production and harvesting, and it was costing him too much to maintain his plantation. we'll say that about 3 times a month or 2 years, i worked with adults with my lower and dedication regarding until i was so indebted there will be to god, but i have to give up everything you can, which is very sad when the cities the 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 the jews giant controller, represented by the law firm p g m b m. more than 1500 former farmers are suing for financial compensation. the allegation is that good trial a was part of a car towel that colluded to push down the purchase price of oranges, bankrupting small farmers control a denies the allegations. the company, however, has already admitted the price fixing once before in 2016. while filming,
8:40 pm
we need a woman who is also filed a lawsuit against one of the big companies to protect her identity, we will call her victoria. she's been working as a picker in the orange fields of south palo 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. for me, orange picking was every thing i never wanted to stay at home. i always wanted to be on the field for today. i only go because i have to, i need the money. my zone. so she earns between $180.28 euro is a month, but says her health is suffering the diseases. since 2018. i'm no longer the same, so humans back then i was healthy,
8:41 pm
but today i'm playing my headaches. my whole body hurts the rib, so the badly the knees. i'm in a lot of pain afraid she wanted to spare her children, but in order to have enough money to live, her husband also works in the fields and their 21 year old daughter recently started to lease its size. this is complicated. i didn't want this to the leaders, but we don't have a choice. it's difficult or i do want my children. they're picking oranges in the field with me. not knowing they might get bitten by a snake or fall off the ladder. they take that risk every day. can you describe these kind of resemble? i can piece gives quick lucy, it's terrifying. the she worries that their health will be compromised too. since 2018 victoria has had to take daily medication for shortness
8:42 pm
of breath and headaches. she believes it's the pesticides and the orange fields that have made her sick and was most doctors come by them. i. i remember it like it was yesterday. i felt sick on the plantation and in the afternoon i couldn't work anymore. but i went home from my husband's continue to work the next day. i couldn't get out of bed with jesus. my whole body was hurting . i went to the doctor and was on the sick leave for a week to because i needed money please. when i asked the company if they would reimburse me, they asked why please. and i said that i had suffered points and they need to be tardy. 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. so while you're going to see
8:43 pm
a boss, this should not happen under any circumstance. so again bustling what i see here are extreme situations, hobbies literal. absolutely. a typical you cannot serve as a reference to a common practice. yeah, but i'm the brazilian citrus industry. we'll do that. but isn't it the, the brazilian ministry of health calculates that. on average one person dies every 2 days in brazil from pesticide poisoning to the amount of these debts that can be attributed to orange farming, 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
8:44 pm
it looked like, let me, let me, let me give you a buzz is going to be because these are big companies and for very powerful i wouldn't recommend anyone to mess with them on the i didn't really want to do it those because this is a very small city, the news travels fast. it will take a look up. we have lucy's going into skin was it can make it hard to find work. let me pull some pretty good. blue probably victorious case was dropped before evidence was even presented. but she received a small amount of compensation, or are ways for the future is that the workers on the plantations are treated with respect trade unionist about a seato knows other workers who have experienced similar problems. he would like to see the companies regularly check their employees for pesticide poisoning the same thing also. so last building,
8:45 pm
i think they got somebody that hit going official g dates and i would like the companies to address the problem without the need for outside parties to intervene . cuz i'm here with the industry walters. so i think workers should definitely sue and defend themselves, please that it's not fair to go to work completely healthy by me and poisoned with pesticides in your blood. and you can tell me logical when she got the thoughts and 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 8, as managing director of phone de citrus the research center was funded by orange farmers and the jews industry in 1977 to help make citrus farming more sustainable . you're going to shines g lima, the assignment in sub tropical areas like cell pile, florida, mexico, where it rains a lot. short is perfect for citrus farming on some some weed and for great
8:46 pm
productivity and quality. but unfortunately, it also favors many pass assigned diseases. therefore, in this, in certain situation, vicious pesticides are needed to bite them well done. the cause of the per month. but i will do is 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 days, interest. these do not pose any danger to workers, but the workers who handled the pesticides often lacking important expertise, explains the prosecutor who repeatedly carries out inspections for the brazilian ministry of labor, the almost impossible bar mazda our mazda, not, ma'am. with us is must, and was fault to the gap of cit thought. so glen bowman measured the most emma's problem you encounter the following problem. so can we,
8:47 pm
does this pesticides are stored incorrectly for the apartment? there's often a lack of training in the handling of these poisons. they are improperly distributed and often without protective equipment. in addition, the clothing that has been in direct contact is not adequately clean display to students. i mean, so thing is that some of the thoughts, the, our investigation takes us to brussels, where we meet loudy, somebody as boom by the cheap. she's been researching agro chemical use in brazil for 12 years. in 2017, she published her findings in her home country, the c as in books, specialized us developing according to the ministry of health. 56000 cases of pesticide, poisoning reported between 20102019. so the so that's an average of 10 per day. but the ministry calculates the every case for pulse of 50 go undetected. that means that we may have to be in sick and poisoned people. this is a tragedy. this,
8:48 pm
i'm going to get off. the brazilian industry says oranges for jews 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 bone biology . pesticide poisoning is not always easy to prove. duplex and that's how would you know that they're accurate chemicals that you're trying to take to the black box. other types of testing need to be telling me the sequence of the blood test is notion off. health professionals are also not always trained to detect the best a site was to see many highly toxic pesticides used in brazil are supplied from countries in the you. although some of them are banned in the u itself. they're still sold to brazil for vaulted st. exist phase. is there a 116 pesticides? you improve the citrus cultivation in brazil and over sushi of the my boss and the
8:49 pm
you get 10 percent of these band chemicals assaulted for sale by companies in you're probably be those phoned se trust disagrees saying that only pesticides approved in the you are used in the orange fields and according to let a semi as well by the g, the band, the pesticides could cause parkinson's disease and b carcinogenic among other things. but the use of these substances also has consequences in the you, but also does not have the pesticides that your cells come back to the market in the fruit, the jews, the coffee, the meat youth is one of the biggest consume is of course the new products are produced, this is a vicious cycle of poisoning in 2018, the european food safety authority examined the product. it's important from brazil to the u. about 7 percent had pesticide residues above the use approved limit in 2019 lady. some of the national biology decided to publish her studies in europe
8:50 pm
. as a result, scanned the navy as largest organic product supermarket separate its trade ties with brazil. assembled biology received threats. what's going to say was english note off up in glass after i launched the english version of the atlas and you are the intimidation in french style such comments article. this is 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. somebody left brazil and moved to belgium. me. but she's now continuing her research and brussels on her appeal to the you commission. and normally a minimum may to l my for this week should come 1st and foremost above economic interest. you console something to others that is forbidden in your country,
8:51 pm
build the b e. u needs to act ethically up to walk away from things are changing for germany in the future. the coalition government is planning to hold exports of pesticides that are not approved in the you on the basis of protection of human health. similar measures are also being discussed at the you level the in brazil phone to see to us as researching biological past controllers to reduce the use of pesticides. among other things, they are breeding a species of last that feeds on one of them has. busy the felice deepest, but we produce about 100200 a month stuff and release them in the orange deals they have in the citrus available itself with its research phone to see to it says it has already managed
8:52 pm
to cut down pesticide use by 50 percent compared to 20 years ago. but doing without agro chemicals is still on thinkable a cell pile know who she is it possible to grow oranges organically here. know a plant that currently produces $200.00 kilos of oranges. would then only yield 10 kilo s. like i took most of the organic orange juice bought in germany, comes from mexico, where orange plantations are smaller. after the us, germany is the biggest market for orange juice in the world. and the demand for juices with feels of certification is increasing. in addition to the organic steel which focuses on ecological sustainability feels such as deep, fair plus and the fair trademark guarantee, high social standards. know how these type c team this in the posts of the industry show on the sideline in sustainability is a topic that the juice industry has been reckoning with for
8:53 pm
a long time at the institution today. i can see it is now often a requirement that the products are produced according to sustainable criteria, and it's like the clouds hybrid 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. with this gun sailboat hoped not received the documents he had been con, having dealings introduction. in order for the whole thing to be documented in a traceable way in plus, we decided to certify the orange juice as we can cooperation with the brazilian suppliers edition. as a result of the reinforced alliance certification has grown quite a bit is of 20192020 lions, said if it's available to me the stuff to be no point today. so i would say just the basic requirement for orange test in the boxes and for the fuel oceans of the rain forest alliance and n g o operating in 70 countries. awards products deals to plantations that meet
8:54 pm
certain environmental and social criteria, such as fair working conditions. 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. he 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 that china. this region is where the majority of oranges
8:55 pm
are picked for the juice industry. here we witness where the mechanisms fail. we need 3 women who speak openly about working for us supplier without registration. just like, according to the ministry of labor and estimated quarter of all orange picker, so it's much better not to be registered in the of assume if you're registers with the things that it does have the advantage that you get the medical certificate. if you're saying you're not registered, the salary are much higher. you get paid 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. it's the only thing we have here and there's no other work in this region. thing. this is the majority here picks oranges because of the only job in town. the oranges are all we have left. and if you don't pick oranges, you die of hunger. they know that legal regulations are sometimes disregarded,
8:56 pm
such as mandatory breaks from work. but they put off with it fundable signals i. if you're not interested, you're free to decide whether you take good break or not. and don't know, isn't it better to take a break because the work is so hard. but now you're, you're less. and if you work less, you earn less going. according to the industry association sub contractors receive regular training and are required to adhere to a specific contract. clauses hiring workers were not legally registered, is strictly forbidden by member accompanies the any irregularity must be fought against and brought in line with brazil. strict laws, the much has improved on the orange plantations in brazil, and recent years,
8:57 pm
seals now set standards. 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. if you don't know if it's 305, to better sizes that softball this year, i have done 3 or 4 inspections in the state of sell paula. every time our department of web presence to the workers were not registered in order for laws to be respected and the state must act more visible and present. it is one of the few where violations there will be more but still get all the school improvement. in other words, more state controls are needed. but these are not insight right now. and brazil is plantations. oranges are produced for the world market. a profitable business for
8:58 pm
the big companies. so the workers don't end up paying the highest price for the orange juice. everyone needs to keep a close eye on things. the of the co africa. they are hot commodities. beach and pansies are being illegally treated as carpets and we're interested in the upper knowledge or national parks are federal. they want to raise awareness of the issue with a wide range of projects to protect to pansy, a co advocate in 1st few minutes on the w,
8:59 pm
