us and model g p spanish to kathy rider. jorge martine claimed this japanese grand 3 and rough weather conditions. martinez now just 3 points behind rival francesco, back now. yeah, in the writers championship. up next are documentary cities look, series, look at the hidden costs of orange juice, production in brazil. i'm mix spicer. i mean the entire new steam here in berlin. thanks for watching the not just another day. so much is happening all at once. we take time to understand this is the day i'm in that's look at current use events, analyzed by experts and critical thinking is weekdays on d, w the
9:16 pm
the orange juice is a several $1000000000.00 industry. brazil was the world's largest citrus producer here on almost 600000 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. you're under extreme pressure, an accident. it can happen because they're concentrating on the harvest and getting caroline scott: scott was here on top of the ladder. we have to have you back on your shoulders. excuse, be sure, turn 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? the is there any truth to these accusations?
9:17 pm
we embark on a journey to brazil to investigate how is the orange juice produced there? the 4 30 am the many orange pickers in the state of south palo are already on their feet. among them is a phone, so like any other day, he has 8 hours of work ahead of him. it was like, i also think a single lead this canister was 5 liters of water. no, that's not enough for a day's work. sun is too strong. i need 2 of these kind of stairs to get through the day. are you drinking 10 leaders a day? yes. exactly, the sun is very homes and temperatures on the plantations can reach up to 35
9:18 pm
degrees celsius directly under the sun. it feels even hotter for 6 years, alfonso has been taking 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 needs to know. i honestly, i liked the word. so many don't think of ion, but everyone here need some need. they have to work by a many also have families going here. you can get by with what you are, where there's nothing, but i'll save it is tyrese will not be even, even though it's hard. i want my doctor to have what i didn't have no matter how hard it su, am 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
9:19 pm
in the fields past and sophie mandel, looking at a saw for it. the main on this is phase now soul, which i don't want her to suffer. like i advise you, work in the sun rains, hold extreme heat. that is physically exhausting sideways. 27. 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. ok to come up on what exactly do off on so and his colleagues experience in the field that we want to accompany them. but filming the pictures that work is not so easy, as we're about to find out the for being a shot to the village where our phone so lives is rather remote,
9:20 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 how low 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 how long 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
9:21 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 have 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.
9:22 pm
even though our visit was arranged with our 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, citrus b, r. to clarify the situation, the 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
9:23 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 in south palo. the visit is organized by the jews company's association on the plantation of one
9:24 pm
of their suppliers, the unlike in supermarkets back home, the oranges he here are green and yellow. this has nothing to do with brightness, but rather with the temperature, the green chlorophyll in the ppo 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. the using a letter, the workers pick the fruit from the trees, which are up to 5 meters tall. filled sacks weighs about 2070 low box community beginning i did everything wrong for me and now i knew it doesn't
9:25 pm
work the tree from top to bottom. it wouldn't go well when i started, i picked all the trees individually, just at the bottom of the then i picked them all again, individually. just at the top. i think the boxes up say die are gone over in the wrong place. and i know it was very complicated for vehicle because we noticed the tremendous speed at which the workers pick with their bare hands. each of them harvest is about 1.6 tons of oranges a day. so on average, each one fails just under age 2070 low bags per hour. those who can't keep up this fast paced risk losing their job. at least according to the union, we made a policy though baseball. he works for the agricultural union fed i asked,
9:26 pm
which also conducts independent studies documenting the working conditions on the plantations. i that got a deep vinyl dorski corner on the day me neither one of those companies only keep the workers who take a certain amount sample 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 include constantly exerts pressure. the this is because of his salary also depends on how much the workers harvest to produce of mice. the $1000000000.00 jews companies pay the legal minimum wage of $1200.00 re eyes. the equivalent of around $200.00 euro is a month regardless of the amount harvested this wages 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 that we need to be up hub on that. the director of the citrus b r,
9:27 pm
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 arose. 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 is doing you. keep on every job you have to reach a certain goal in order to continue working on people. that doesn't seem strange to me, but if you have a certain goal and it has to be achieved with it, i don't see why it should be any different with an orange canada. just sit each page here on the plantation where the association has given us permission to film conditions appear ideal. e b a pub on metal assures us. but what we see here is common practice across the citrus industry. workers are wearing personal protective equipment, goggles and gloves. against the sharp,
9:28 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 and sell and how low, 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
9:29 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. let me see what else i need to advise you to buy the books today. 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 it's
9:30 pm
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 lowest paid use of some closing on the most s i think, but is laws and ultimately i always find violations when 3rd party companies are involved. me stop by the door to support the 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. prosecutors jose my to 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,
9:31 pm
and again, he encounters unregistered pickers working off the books. he describes to us the violations he encounters when inspecting workers mode. i d a well, are there limit conditions or precarious saying each but they have no personal protective equipment being 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 won't call or they plowed the process. so i have faith. so there's often no place for workers to have a proper meal or even toilet suffering to get that. but we also see the mishandling of aggregate chemicals. the cool monday is with the books off to donna 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? the inspections are not
9:32 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 fall of them was a federal site. i think the eyes of singled us for kids last, most of them was a good all and didn't even was it that we don't conduct the inspections without security personnel. what was that? because we never know the level of hostility will encounter on this, and we often encounter supervisors who are prone to violence. i do anyway, numerous workers reporting to events. and with those we've, it's often drummed into the government inspection is there to take away their jobs instead of improving their condition. so that's why we only go with security goals to go to us. we ask, can you be a pub on it though? what does he know about the conditions on the plantations, especially with independent suppliers?
9:33 pm
so sequence i mucous, so let's get that out by loan on soft for the actual designs. it painted this nonsense of data does not support minus the 1000 people work in the field. every year that we cannot guarantee, use it in our fields, is she doing the fields of the industry even was never working conditions, lloyd and our state of the art the do do food and our suppliers are encouraged, motivated by, trained to do their nicest. besides, if someone doesn't sleep by the rules, she fail game that has to be address. we could use a hag, a may i. e. so think so the violations are the section. i'm going to note in the rule that is gonna sell la is this so no way i have this. whether that's true or not, we can say, however, prosecutor is jose, my put 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 about to me or jefferson about me to.
9:34 pm
during the last inspection of an orange plantation, we discovered a group of about 32nd workers and with the cold seasons, looked at some of them were living in apartments without bedding, without adequate mattresses sink without protection from the cold. he a full subject cloud, st. but that's so a cool throw 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 guy workers living in cramped quarters and broken mattresses. hardly any furniture. partly without protection from the often chilly evening temperatures between june and august didn't sell palo the. the unions to report poor housing conditions, the thing,
9:35 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. centrist producer, a citrus to go with riley 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, 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 the scale,
9:36 pm
i won't think got you a deal aside the cancer. conversely, the companies people record to the workers who complain and they can forget about being hired against us on this, on this practice, should be banned to. people shouldn't risk being punished or demanding their rights as we're going to send you that much, that us to present a scroll saw 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 did this please gab, forget about my complaint about we need this work to come in and pay my family and
9:37 pm
i can't afford to lose this job. please excuse me. we start get up. what can we do? we get to find 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. ringback 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 fields. but he tells
9:38 pm
us that he too was under enormous pressure as a supplier. no, no i me eat on the yes. watching might in the future i need be as a theater student to be. 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 realty sadness yours. my memory is so the g elaine but this 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 oranges. 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 out of certainly low prices. indian he could no longer cover the costs of
9:39 pm
production and harvesting. and it was costing him too much to maintain his plantation for fits that are about 3 times a month to his us 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 with the cities the as auntie is $75.00 and it will take him at least 4 more years he calculates to pay off his dad's. 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,
9:40 pm
has already admitted to price fixing once before in 2016. while filming, we need a woman who is also filed the 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 at this stage with humans back then i was healthy,
9:41 pm
but today i'm playing my headaches. my whole body hurts the rib. so the bad we 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 these at size. this is complicated. i didn't want this kid he readers but we don't have a choice. it's difficult or i do one of 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 with this guy. they've got to do them without getting his gives quickly me. it's terrifying. i mean, the she worries that there help will be compromised to since 2018. victoria has had to take daily medication for shortness of breath and
9:42 pm
headaches. she believes it's the pesticides and the orange fields that have made her sick never was most desirable to just 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 to continue to work the next day. i couldn't get out of bed or 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.
9:43 pm
so while you're going to see a fall, this should not happen under any circumstance. so again bustling what i see here are extreme situations. obviously what happens, some of the typical you cannot serve as a reference to a common practice. yeah. but i'm the brazilian citrus industry present in 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 bombing though can not 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
9:44 pm
it looked at me for just a minute. let me, let me give you a buzz is going to give you. these are big companies and for very powerful i wouldn't recommend anyone to mess with them. well no, i didn't really want to do it to see this is a very small city, though, as news travels fast, it was a glow copy of lucy's. keep the skin with it can make it hard to find work vehicles, the biggest blow properties. the dougherty s case was dropped before evidence was even presented, but she received a small amount of compensation. a or 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 ball is also something that's building the same thing as somebody's integrating fits
9:45 pm
what you need. i would like the companies to address the problem without the need for outside parties to intervene with the industry walters. so i think workers should definitely sue and defend themselves, but is 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 and she's not gonna 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 . me going to shines the claim on the assignment in sub tropical areas like sal palo, florida, mexico, where it rains a lot. short is perfect for citrus farming on some some weed and for great
9:46 pm
productivity and quality. but unfortunately, it also favors many pass also, and diseases, therefore n, as in certain situation, vicious pesticides are needed to fight them well done. the cause of the per month. but i will do as, 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 more than expertise, explains the prosecutor who repeatedly carries out inspections for the brazilian ministry of labor. the almost, i'm just going to arm on the arm as in the mail. with us is, must them was fault to the god of sit us. so glen bowman measured the most am was problem you encounter the following problem. so can we, does this?
9:47 pm
pesticides are stored incorrectly for the pot, though there's often a lack of training in the handling of these poisons. they are improperly distributed and often without protective equipment. in addition, not clothing that has been in direct contact is not adequately cleaned, displayed. to see that the main thing is that some of the thoughts, the, our investigation takes us to brussels, where we meet bloody somebody as bone by the jeep. she's been researching agro chemical use in brazil for 12 years. in 2017, she published her findings in her home country, the v as the book specialized us developing according to the ministry of health. 56000 cases of pesticide, poisoning reported between 20102019 the. so that's an average of 10 per day. put, the ministry calculates the every case for pulse of 50 go undetected. that means that we may have to leave you in sick and poisoned people. this is a tragedy this,
9:48 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 contact and the blood fox are the types of testing need to be done moving to keep them off in the blood test. as nursing off, health professionals are also not always trained to detect press the sidewalk to see many highly toxic pesticides used in brazil are supplied from countries in the u. although some of them are banned in the u itself. they're still sold to present for volt of say, to exist phase. is there a 116 pesticides? you prove that just cultivation in brazil and over sushi of the my back in the you
9:49 pm
get 10 percent of these band chemicals assaulted for sale by companies in your probably be those a phone. they see 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 to be carson, a genic among other things. but the use of these substances also has consequences in the u. that also does not the pesticides that your cells come back to the market . in the fruit, the jews, the coffee, the made you is one of the biggest consume is presenting 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 and 2019 lady somebody eligible biology decided to publish her studies in europe.
9:50 pm
as a result scanned the navy as largest organic product supermarket separate its trade ties with brazil. ambled body, received threats, of say, was english. and i wrote off up in gloves after i launched the english version of the atlas and you are the intimidation and spread style. so just let me as 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. she's now continuing her research in brussels. her appeal to the you commission as minimum may to l. my for this week should come 1st and foremost above economic interest, which is what you console something to others that is forbidden in your country.
9:51 pm
the b e u needs to act ethically up to walk the way 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 fund to see to us is researching biological past controllers to reduce the use of pesticides. among other things, they are breeding a species of loss that feeds on one of them has. busy the, the super split we produce by $100200.00 a month and release them in the orange deals they have in the citrus developmental itself. with its research food is the truth,
9:52 pm
as it has already managed to cut down pesticide use by 50 percent compared to 20 years ago. but doing without agro chemicals is still on thinkable. they sell pounds on april. she is it possible to grow oranges organically? here? no, a plant that currently produces $200.00 kilos of oranges would then only yield 10 kilo s, like i to most of the organic orange juice bond 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 seals of certification is increasing. in addition to the organic seal, which focuses on ecological sustainability feels such as deep, fair plus and the fair trademark guarantee high social standards. now have these tight c team. this in the force of the industry shown sideline them sustainability is a topic that the juice industry has been reckoning with for
9:53 pm
a long time that 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. we discuss how the hope did not receive the document. he had been con, having dealings introduction. in order for the whole thing to be documented in a traceable way, we didn't. plus, we decided to certify the orange juice as again cooperation with the brazilian supplier was edition. as a result of the reinforced alliance certification has grown quite a bit is of 20192020 lions, said if it's equal to mixed up to be no point today. so i would say that's a basic requirement for orange juice. so i know the boss is on for the fuel oceans of rain, forest, the lions and n g o operating in 70 countries. awards products deals to plantations that meet
9:54 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, 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 are
9:55 pm
picked for the jews industry. here we witness where the mechanisms fail. we need 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 picker, so it's much better not to be registered. and the of assume if you're registered with the things it does have the advantage that you go to medical certificate. if you're saying you're not registered for salary and 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 orange is because of the only job in town. the oranges are all we have left. and if you don't pick oranges, you dive hunger,
9:56 pm
they know that legal regulations are sometimes disregarded, such as mandatory breaks from work. but they put off with it on the if you're not interested, feel free to decide whether you take a break for me. and they'll know, isn't it better to take a break because the work is so hard. but now you're less. and if you work less, you earn less going according to the industry association, sub contractors, receiver, 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
9:57 pm
improved on the orange plantations in brazil, and recent years, 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 ball this year, i have done 3 or 4 inspections in the state of south paul of every time our department present, the workers were not registered in call in order for laws to be respected and the state must act more visible and present. it is one of the fewer violations there will be more, but still get all of that, ma'am. in other words, more state controls are needed, but these are not insight right now. and brazil's plantations, oranges are produced for the world's market,
9:58 pm
a profitable business for 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, the, the new generation of from is, is slicing to protect these they are vitally important animals on this planet. and we all need, we literally could live without clothing foaming to guarantee alas, each be typing. the next generation, the in 30 minutes,
9:59 pm
