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 jews. 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 scarlet. most of the scots, which are on top of a ladder with heavy bag on your shoulders on excuse. they should treat us like human beings. he's not like live stock. sure. and we 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? we embark on a journey to brazil to investigate?
2:17 pm
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 is a phone, so like any other day, he has 8 hours of work ahead of him. as like a fellow, the biggest, including this canister, was 5 liters of water. no, that's not enough for a day's work. the 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 degrees celsius directly under the sun. it feels even hotter. for
2:18 pm
6 years, alfonso has been picking oranges for the juice industry from monday to saturday. and a good month t 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 some need. they have to work by many, also have a fabulous glenview. you can get by with what you are, where there's nothing, but i'll save it. is tyrese remote, even though it's hard. i want my doctor to have what i didn't have no matter how hard is 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 in the fields past and sophie mandell. can i have a feel for it?
2:19 pm
the main on this is phase now. sol, which i don't want her to suffer like i advise you, work in the sun. rain cold stream. he is physically exhausting. a fog weighs 27 q lose. that's too much crossing. i mean, i don't mean for women in general, the other, for my wife from me, 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. 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 china, the village where our phone, so lives is rather remote, just around 5000 people normally live here. but between may and december,
2:20 pm
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 away, 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
2:21 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 but some of the 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. the apartment he rents is provided by his employer. and according to the contract, he's not allowed to let outside hers and including us. even though our visit was arranged with that phone, so a supervisor the day before
2:22 pm
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 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 raises more questions for us. how exactly does the orange industry work in brazil?
2:23 pm
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 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 companies association on the plantation of one of their suppliers, the unlike in
2:24 pm
supermarkets back home, the oranges he here are green and yellow. this has nothing to do with writing this, but rather with the temperature, the green chlorophyll, and the po 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 the latter. the workers picked the fruit from the trees which are up to 5 meters tall. filled sacks weighs about 2070 load the box community beginning i did everything wrong for me and now i knew it didn't work for tree from top to bottom. and one go, well, when i started, man,
2:25 pm
i picked all the trees individually, just at the bottom for frontier, then i picked them all again, individual article up just at the top. i think the boxes up say die. we are in the wrong place. it was very complicated for vehicles because 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. a we made a policy though peaceful. he works for the agricultural union, fed i ask, which also conducts independence studies documenting the working conditions. on the plantations. i the call around the time, you know,
2:26 pm
they're going to not 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 to the box known as the got to include constantly exerts pressure. the, this is because of his salary also depends on how much the workers harvest kept him up to the 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 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 b. r. the association of the 3 jews, giants. he is the voice of the brazilian orange juice industry. he explains that
2:27 pm
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, 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 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, thorns of the trees and leg protection against poisonous snake bites. these are
2:28 pm
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 as 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 introduce industry the above by head the 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 asked for union
2:29 pm
until 2017 no, he is now retired above the head though 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 the top bottom about 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. going to buy 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 especially the sub contractors who often lack the financial resources for
2:30 pm
protective gear or compliance with labor laws. the, as out sourcing has grown since 2017, the problems for orange bakers have grown to the spin. yay! susceptible isn't the most s, i think, but is laws and all that. i'm said we always find violations when 3rd party companies are involved me stop by and 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. prosecutors jose my through right 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 he encounters on registered pickers working off the books. he describes to us
2:31 pm
the violations he encounters when inspecting workers, the motor, diesel or their living conditions are precarious in each, but 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 . the cool money is with level books. 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 a priority for politicians. the prosecutor explains. since the country has been in
2:32 pm
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 kids last, most of them was we'll get all of the name, 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, but 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 conditions. so that's why we only go with securities. we'll stick with us. we ask the pub annette, though, what does he know about the conditions on the plantations, especially with independent suppliers? so sequence of mucus, so let's get that out by loan on saw for the actual designers. the date of this
2:33 pm
nonsense date of loss is 4 minus the so some people work in the field every year. you know, we cannot guarantee use it in our fields. is she doing the fields of the industry, even with more working conditions, lloyd in our state of the art the do, do food and our suppliers are encouraged, moved to see things by train 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, b, i. e. so think so violations are the perception of going to not 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 a mazda pick them as a lot to me or the person mother. i mean to, during the last inspection of an orange plantation, we discovered a group of about $37.00 workers. it was the cold seasons looked at,
2:34 pm
some of them were living in apartments without bedding, without adequate mattresses sink without protection from the cold the force of the cloud st. that's 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, what more does your room there are no decent beds, no bathroom,
2:35 pm
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 who 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, a 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 this could you, i won't be caught you the keels side. you can check on leslie's the company's
2:36 pm
people record to 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 says look, and i'll send you a much better 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 to set up a problem with the addition. please get or get about my complaint about. we need this work on my family and i can't afford to lose this job. please excuse me. we
2:37 pm
start get up. what can we do to 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. ringback 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 here need b as all the we don't know what working conditions were like for him in the field called but he tells us that he too was under enormous pressure as
2:38 pm
a supplier. no, no, i mean if you don't need yes watching my and i wonder if he's writing e b as a feeder. who didn't did he 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, yours, my memories. so the g. elaine business 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 at absurdly low prices. indian, he could no longer cover the costs of production and harvesting, and it was costing him too much to maintain his plantation for fits that are about
2:39 pm
$3.00 times a month to his doctor, 2 years i worked with the 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 on the is 75, 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 to 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 price fixing once before in 2016. while filming,
2:40 pm
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 to the money, my son to the she earns between $180.28 euro is a month. but says her health is suffering the these me since 2018. i'm no longer the same. so humans fact then i was healthy, but today i'm flags my headaches. my whole body hurts the rib. so the bad we,
2:41 pm
the knees. i meant a lot of pain. a face 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 lease its size. this is complicated. i didn't want this is as we just but we don't have a choice. it's difficult. i. 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 with this guy. there's gotta be the game he's gives quick lucy, it's terrifying. the she worries that there help will be compromised to since 2018. victoria has had to take daily medication for shortness of breath and headaches. she believes it's the pesticides and the orange fields
2:42 pm
that have made her sick and was excuse me, most doctors come by them. i. i remember it like it was yesterday and i felt sick on the plantation and in the afternoon i couldn't work anymore. 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. i 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 see
2:43 pm
a boss, this should not happen under any circumstance. so again bustling what i see here are extreme situations. obviously not absolutely. a typical control panel serve as a referencing to a common practice. yeah, but i'm the brazilian citrus industry, isn't it? the, the brazilian ministry of health calculates that. on average one person dies every 2 days in brazil from pesticide poisoning. 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 it looked at me for just a moment. let me, let me give you
2:44 pm
a buzz. is the goal is to keep these are big companies and for very powerful i wouldn't recommend anyone to mess with them. well yeah, i didn't really want to do it, because this is a very small city, though as news travels fast, it will take little copy of lucy's. keep wanting to speak english, but it can make it hard to find work the impossibilities. and we'll probably be told he has 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 a c t o 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 up so, so last building i think they got somebody that had going official duties and i would like the companies to address the problem without the need for outside
2:45 pm
parties to intervene with the industry walters. so i think workers should definitely sue and defend themselves, please. it's not fair to go to work completely healthy by me and end up poisoned with pesticides in your blood. and you can tell me logical and she doesn't have 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 the claim, a little assignment in sub tropical areas, like sal, paula, florida, mexico, where it rains a lot. short is perfect for citrus farming is going some, some weed and for great productivity and quality. but unfortunately,
2:46 pm
it also favors any sign diseases. therefore, and if in certain situation vicious pesticides are needed to provide them with 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 lack important expertise, explains the prosecutor, who repeatedly carries out inspections for the brazilian ministry of labor, the almost identical bar mazda our mazda, not, ma'am, with us is must, and was fault that the gap of cit also glen bowman, measured the most emma's problem you encounter the following problem. so can we, does this pesticides are stored incorrectly for a department? there's often
2:47 pm
a lack of training in the handling of these poisons. they are improperly distributed and often without protective equipment. e. in addition, not clothing that has been in direct contact is not adequately cleaned. 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 according to the ministry of health. 56000 cases of pesticide, poisoning reported between 20102019. so the so that's an average of 10 code today. but the ministry calculates the every case report of 50 go undetected. that means that we may have to leave you in sick and poisoned people. this is a tragedy this, i'm going to get off. the brazilian industry says oranges for juice our grow and
2:48 pm
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. people have still not sold, you know, they're accurate chemicals that you're trying to take to the black box. other types of testing need to be done moving, keep them off in the blood test is not enough. health professionals are also not always trained to detect pesticide, 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 he you itself, they're still sold to brazil for vaulted safety. is this phase, is there a 116 pesticides you improve city just cultivation in brazil and over sushi of the my boss and the a you get 10 percent of these band chemicals assaulted for sale by companies in you?
2:49 pm
could it 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 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 eligible by the g decided to publish her studies in europe. as a result scanned the navy as largest organic product supermarket separatists trade
2:50 pm
ties with brazil. ambled body received threats, was going to say was english not awful in gloves 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. she's now continuing her research in brussels. her appeal to the u commission as nobody minimal main to al monkwood essex should come 1st and foremost above the economic interest, which is what you console, something to others that is forbidden in your country. the b e. u needs to act ethically up to walk the way things are changing for germany in the future.
2:51 pm
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 does the trust 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 some of these people split we produce by 100200 a month and released some of the orange deals they have in the citrus available, looks up with its research. food is the truth, says it as a whole reading managed to cut down pesticide use by 50 percent compared to 20
2:52 pm
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? no, it was a plant that currently produces 200 kilos of oranges. would then only heal 10 kilo s, like i to 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 seal, which focuses on ecological sustainability, seals such as gape, fair plus and the fair trademark guarantee, high social standards. know how these type c team this in the posts of the industry shown sideline them sustainability is a topic that the juice industry has been reckoning with for 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,
2:53 pm
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 the hope not receive a documented bit and can have them 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 you can 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 sealed some of the stuff to be no point today. so i would say just the basic requirement for orange steps in the boxes and for the fuel oceans of the rain forest, the lions and n g o operating in 70 countries. awards products deals to plantations that meet certain environmental and social criteria,
2:54 pm
such as fair working condition 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 that china. this region is where the majority of oranges are picked for the jews industry. here we witness where the mechanisms fail. we need 3
2:55 pm
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 in the of assume if you're registered with the things that it does have the advantage that you go to medical certificate. if you're saying you're not registered, the salary are 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. it's the only thing we have here and there's no other work in this region. same vision, 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 dive hunger, they know that legal regulations are sometimes disregarded,
2:56 pm
such as mandatory breaks from work. but they put off with the if you're not interested, feel free to decide whether you take a 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 who are 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, seals now set standards. as
2:57 pm
a result and 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 he stays or that's a better size, if that's helpful. but this year i have done 3 or 4 inspections in the state of sell paula. every time our department present because the workers were not registered in call can order for loss 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 the school improvement. in other words, more state controls are needed. but these are not insight right now. on brazil's plantations, oranges are produced for the world's market. a profitable business for the big companies. so the workers don't end up paying the highest price for the orange
