bob and are started cultivating jude at the age of 12 in those days due to was an important crop here of the, this is what i've done it. i don't want the thing. jude cultivation became less important. rice was the priority and the focus shifted from ju, just the plastic devices that could be about to change a size. and are you a cons? cultivate of fibers that could make the world a better place. or you've has believed in this possibility ever since his doctor
10:17 am
told him that you could be turned into a material that feels and behaves like plastic. but it's environmentally friendly, easy to add to get along the sooner the back. it is invented out by on, by love a c scientist. uh it is a bio d good to buy a plastic. the r u n. his own qualifies farm. the natural fiber, according to century. so tradition could this painstaking process provide the fiber of the future, the northern bangladesh book or district 6 o'clock in the morning. and early started to avoid the summer heat. yesterday, temperatures reached 45 degrees celsius a fast,
10:18 am
so this due to in march. now it's harvest time the what the heavy at the end of the been galley months of to a true. we so the see that i saw 4 months later in the month of chart we harvest is i have my head count. we then plant other crops on the same soil, such as over genes or potato. what as they will know, part of the high on the one end, they're going to go to of the 51 is inquiry double how to use dried, jude sticks for many purposes. they bring in the most money. we use them as climbing aids, investable feed valve, or for the walls of houses today. however, this is becoming obsolete as bricks are used. instead of jute, bangladesh is a small country, but it's farmers count among the world's largest dude. producers.

10:21 am
who are the people who cultivate the plants? now what role does dude play for them? who have overall, jude cultivation has advantages. we hardly earned anything from rice this year. but we still grow rice for our own consumption, and we see the rice straw to the cadillac. c c the, the price farmers receive for jude, it's up to, it's considerably some years proceeds from sales fail to cover production costs. the government is trying to counteract this economic issue. a problem. you just
10:22 am
take a partnership would be on the market. price is high right now. and i'm farmers are interested again, and we want to support them a 5 digit code a we easily key in the current season. our department has provided them with seed and fertilize are free of charge and no h was this creates incentive. the farmers have to invest less or more and can make a bigger profit. it kept the number of cds of these tests. what are some of the lot of issues i'm to leave. my name is julie. i'm working as an assistant officer at the department of agriculture extension. i've got totally vocal right. isn't that isn't in the data. okay. yeah. that definitely the fiber feels thick and strong. it will be
10:23 am
a good you. the foreigners that hold on resist the, the harvested, jude stocks are left to lie in the field for 3 days until all the leaves have fallen off. what follows is the unpleasant part. the green stocks must rot. the a musty water attracts insects and victoria that are good for the jute and help the fermentation of the plant. but it's bad for human skin and causes itching says a fast today,
10:24 am
it is bearable and says a fast he's used to it anyway. other challenges are more daunting. not move on the box. that's what number one. in fact that all could you repeat it? one of the i like round you, especially the dude sticks. they sell very well and don't require much work on, you know, but when it's too dry, we have a problem rocking the green due to sticks in the past, it was easier. we used to do it everywhere in water holes and rivers. there is a river nearby, but now it doesn't have enough water. so now we use puns that are normally used for fish farming, and i have a pond close to are you upon to tell me how to do it on climate change is making every thing harder. extreme weather conditions are
10:25 am
disrupting ecosystem throughout south asia says to lee and jude farmers feel the effects 1st tend thoughts. i said i want the see the money to brush me. this is the my ancestors already knew that we have a very low nice oil here. just kind of value for the model who made it only needs a little rate to retain moisture. mazda, of the parking lot of on sandy soil, i'm going to, the to plant would not survive more than 10 days without rain, or losing for bar as part of that type of soil is we're here for the year. it range fairly reliably, every $15.00 to $30.00 days and summer would you get to the balloon. uh so our judgment is not damaged. the models of it will not be unlimited from us. unlike cotton or rice, which need constant water to does not require artificial irrigation.
10:26 am
i thought says that he'd never heard of a buyer degradable plastic like material made from to it until i you've stopped or told him about it. he uses a conventional plastic sheet to protect his plants. the . this is the one that i did not hold on. i put the plastic sheet on top to prevent the mode from getting in and sticking to the fibers. depending on the quality of
10:27 am
the fibers, the jude has to soak and water for 12 to 15 days so that it starts to rock. if the plant was already very ripe, when it was harvested, i can take it out again after just 8 to 10 days, but i saw not going to have them. i know you've pond right next door. the dude sticks are almost ready. okay, that was the, the, i see the over at the overtime. the fibers can be removed from the stand by applying light pressure. but this one isn't ready yet. i still have to press to hard. it that it will clear. no, it's not think about the kind of set function that i think it will take another 4 or 5 days. in his
10:28 am
li, our youth is known as the model farmer. he grows everything from oranges to, to toyota, and his family makes them proud. his daughter tia hopes to go to university in my country, people, things probably use the a, made a team not to the female to do this. and i want to start a study that how i live in and abroad. come to the, the outside the country a t o would not want to become a dude farmer, even if she could do it. now the do try me is not, not they have these people, savvy farmers, those kinds of reduce. because the dial me is by my they jude me, is,
10:29 am
are all so they don't to really dale dante any buyers to buy sandy, a dues, so many people inside of the leave, the category of juice. and it is, the chart is all scan it is they allow us to do, so i'll watch to, oh, i see by the fibers. this chart is of plan is people out of the go use the now center building the building here. house, the, the construction moves factories do used to be very important for bangladesh says that to yeah, pulling out an old bank note. i bring it because the symbols, the symbols, the farmer are kind of do is the farmer of separate fiber from the jews. and the 5 corey, they are separate, the 2, and it is our nation out of groups, the know. so then not has the same symbolize this thing. so i read for you
10:30 am
the do this type a color who that is the, that these wash from the borrower that, that is golden color, golden. sure, she will not be asked to evaluate college. so natalie asked that is golden try that? and it is so it is a, it is all the national across because each so we export the other countries and we get to dollars to the car and see the until the middle of the 20th century june was the world's most important tech style fiber. after cotton to this day, most of the worlds do production still comes from this region. louisville soil. ready a climate that is humid and hot. 2
10:31 am
dude has been harvested in process tier for centuries. the british colonial rulers took the 2 prone here and sold it all over the world. the highest quality fibers have a golden color. these are set to grow best new rivers. that's why many dude farmers live by rivers or in the middle of rivers, an island called chars. the char, bye to allies in the middle of the juno river, which to reach an 8th and emma leah's as the from a put try river. the i'm you notice is a jude farmer here. the
10:32 am
why. why a brother did you also plant the season? no no, not this year. i'm. i don't i love life on the island. we bought it, but i live on the mainland because of the numbers and goods every day. i come back here in the morning and the lead in the evening. i loved the nature here, however, the ears, fresh and common look to however, there's so much to do on the island. so many opportunities on the on the mainland. i have new land and nothing to work on, but i go to the river pirates. that's what i mean. what caused the people who attacked and seriously injured his brother that got he shows us the scars from the knife bones. he tells
10:33 am
us that the pirates stole his cow is it is all over the crime is not the only thing that makes life hard on the chars. legally i chose to that one of our struggle. as far as the outside of my c id, it must be with the rainy season that floods over twice. i go as i so we move the coast, the mainland on boots very well, but the exist in 2 or 3 days. everything here is under water unless i hear about that. so it's all over. it was then we came up to the tin roof of the house. the monthly wooden planks don't. let's have this. so if you, we just live up there, thing get, we're going to shoot, i think it was all over thought that'd be actually, if he sense of your volume or the date to get him is take a big he talk, this is so coordinating them,
10:34 am
i mean north shows how high the watch are reached in recent years. long i was, i'm charged even disappeared completely for a time. $200.00 people live on this river island without electricity or solid ground under their feet. their times are resilient to they can withstand flooding for a good 2 weeks, but even the robust do times have their limits. the who is the who do i have the reason why the reason why i believe i found that you back there. what it is totally ruined you by the way, by the, by the got to the end, but couldn't because of the extreme flooding. we couldn't harvest quickly in any way and they died uh, both in the flood lasted for almost 3 weeks to complete the funding. this explains
10:35 am
the leaves, isn't there positive by that, that everything was right? but of course, there are new fibers. i can find me as if by me i should do the uh, the shop the shop though and the water comes on the plan trimmings under water for too long. oh really turns black around. no. i then ogden is new. good for more. i got to get there. then when they said it was, the problem is that gives you the, the list of only the golden, shimmering fibers are really worth and i think so, but i'm like, i don't know they've bought because i've been 3 of them. even if the plants certainly have some commercial, walter, how satisfied the fibers that come out of low quality? that'd be all right, but we get a lower price on the market because they are just colored or even black or not as of the cars have all the numbers you i to prevent this dude. farmers on the chars have devised a system that i mean who is proud of leaving the island is not an option.
10:36 am
they have nothing on the mainland. the river is both a curse and a blessing for the 2 plants. to watch a noise just then with the minerals, but threatens them with much, no duty by me, i live on the river. walter is a murphy. the stream carries on most of the soil and clean the substance, stick to the jude fibers degrading quality and causing the due to black and good. however, if the river washers channels into a pond or a canal with a water is clear and fresh, i know the cute remains on damaged platinum retains its golden color. so they have created artificial canals and water holes. the
10:37 am
if i didn't know the, they got to in the bottle. this is walter that comes from the river by the all the impurities in the month of special to the bottom of the water, hopefully with the bundle, but it got more, lots of water is clear. and that's how you can still get golden color is the basis of popular, talked about otherwise, there's no chance of getting good quality fibers are low yet another problem is impacting the by to river island to low pressure the if there's too much plastic around, then harms the crumbs so we gather it and burn it. that solves the problems. are plastic. the 2? no people want to use less plastic bag bothers have because we have already in the past batch are made of jute most now we're going back to jude shopping back sacks, etc. and people are fed up with plastic.
10:38 am
the 200 kilometers downstream. there are people who want to solve the plastic problem. with the help of to the and the capital deca scientists are working on their show nally bad project, translating as the golden back. it looks and feels like a plastic bag. but it's made from cellulose, derived from cute it's the invention of bangladesh. she scientist dr. mubarak, i'm at con protective suits in mass. have also been produced using this new bio plastic the,
10:39 am
the main raw material as dried toot fibers. then we find dissenters because the main ingredient of this one going to be, he said earlier this he made descent loose from the extra tang that 3 x. and then we have to set the set up the temperature ratio and time for the poor direction and didn't we own the skype? so some of these are the exact formula. it's a secret and says dr. con, additionally back has suffered some setbacks. it was just about to go into mass production when the color pandemic hit. the sewing bags from this to polymer is also still the problem. the producers don't have access to the right
10:40 am
machines using due to per fiber reinforced compass. this has already been proven to work. dr. con has been experimenting with the material for years. his duty reinforced polymer mixture also has a name to to do can uh, is accomplish. it met you. so that is a good for the bottom of this now. and the trends in gentleman in as, as early as in susan and also data making some box with the flex piper inputs. accomplish it to the appropriate feel. uh, flux is better than to convince some extent. but at flux, the production of flexibility, limited in some countries, and the price is 2 times so important i've done that to do sometimes it's, i just have a good quality plots, who's about 10 times higher than to do so. in that case, juke is the potential candidate for making the complex or
10:41 am
the i have to do so every scientist has the mind to destination. how can i want to go there? this is the distribution. so lastly, i want to say why i'm using one to why? because the truth is really incredible. because it wanted 70 percent centers. you cannot find any d or across in all of the water waste content. 71. there are some plans, but it's not plenty. it's not kind of give it to anybody, but to is this susan of corruption bundle with dish? so it is the hardest thing time use 110 days on the other.
10:42 am
one cheek on kentucky, person centers on their buddies. but to dick's getting to good people, can you estimate you the this is the last the policy so you can see the set on the barney. this are a little bit. it's a definitely like, you know, victor here. this is the can proceed. and you, me, did, through a battery cable. this isn't necessarily product this,
10:43 am
this is as it sounds like the perfect fiber. so why hasn't the environmentally friendly juke revolution happened by now? and what does the government, which commission this finale bad experiment to make of this? we ask for homage up would come out at the ministry of tech styles and do this absolutely mobile idea and the mobile home account is working on that. you're willing to dental and the already talked to him, but the, the, somebody should actually, uh, the need to be addressed before waiting for the most production. kind of uh uh the costing things the other cool thing of course, the homeless actually cost that is one issue. um, because people know get actually plastic bags or anything big, big, stupid,
10:44 am
almost a low cost. so you got that is $11.00 issue actually there is a stip completion with the this plus the go to the next door just some pretty good product. but the plastic community is very, very strong. coupon pipe dealers dollars business every year for the single us shopping back. so they are not easily allow you to enter into more plastics. an industry that is blocking jude farmers expansion and increasingly jeopardizing their very existence the weekly meeting of the toot farmers of history. 2 of the sizes, brothers are also here, states what they tell us that plastic causes a lot of damage to their crops might have done,
10:45 am
but i don't think they've got a or this plastic is very harmful. the when it burns like sticky, dangerous residues remain. and the soil, due to on the other hand decomposes easily and it fertilizes the soil. plastic takes years to decompose. and when we planned rice, it no longer grows well if the soil is pointing to the 100, because the high log enough, they would be glad to grow more to and does produce more natural fibers. but conditions have to improve. many people including i ups, uncle hide, are, are unhappy at this quote for you. you can give them number to the fact that that's what we want. we also think about it all the time. cute is really profitable, but we simply don't have any more water holes where we can leave the stocks to rocks. and i mean, it's a real crisis. i got them kind of a table tight. there are so many things we could do that i knew i'm not hardwood,
10:46 am
they might have but i'm going to back up on the as i did, i did it. there's a whole in love funny to do that. we're still going to, we used to have more of them like a new the know they were leased by the government to people who are farming fish. they kind of funny. so cutting them off is near enough to low to plant on. we'll charge you their commercial them thinking sure to, to run it must talk to that wherever there is water, a box, dishes canals it is. it was a lot to know. they are all use for fish farm. it very often people to is, i got sort of the, our hands are tied on what i'm doing that's coming up with have mazda, as i should say, how much would it make to go to? and that's why they have created their own artificial ponds. these experience farmers make the hard work look easy, having rubbed, mineral oil on his body before getting into the sinking water to relieve the itching i loosened institute fibers by hitting the stems
10:47 am
the rest. and this is how you waiting to talk. lots of course to go to hulu. the the feeling is issues that don't talk it over the whole so it was a cultivation process as tyrant shoot. has many benefit. when it is young, we can each, once you've extracted the fibers, we make the money from it. they lose it, right?
10:48 am
you sticks us fire, we're done with the 0 who's makes up for the hard labor costs through allowance, even though just contribution is painful when it brings us lots of benefits back on with it. we're kind of going to win to is still very young. it's leaves are used in cooking and are very healthy. are you? ps, wife alo, says, so we'll talk soon. these are green vegetables are full of vitamins healthy. i mean, i just gently, as ensure that we build up our immune system in the, the the
10:49 am
part that some of the think if i be what the 1 am i gonna love. hello. well, no, no punch. what to do cause the hi fact that dips photos, jute has changed our luck since it's currently being sold as a good market price. i should do. i'm at the bottom down and costs less to produce compared with other products for this evil market. and how do we can recover the production expenses by selling the dried stock so low that one box? will it the next to to be sure that the gospel if i produce in the field? so because i can earn 2 and a half times more than what i would earn with rice is for going to do nama the co author. that's why you cultivation is a profitable crop for us. farmers on the side of the
10:50 am
it takes 3 days for the 2 bundles to dry in the sun. i you know, fast and sell them to wholesalers who pick them up directly in his late the to sell. there are too many farmers travel to the small town i've shown that toilet. it's one of the largest due to markets in the region. the highest price for a killer to today is a t tucker. they say, that's about 3 quarters of a dollar. 6677, count slowly. wholesalers buy to then deliver it to the mills or a boss about the hey,
10:51 am
we have to make 5 kilos less. there are 3 categories of june. first, the 2nd and 3rd rate quality that determines the price i pay. i buy a good quality june at a high price, a medium level model, but it is medium quality by get me the good one. and then look at that as low quality high quality here. first class, the best a defense. it's type, everything was okay, or does it have night over vertically, a clean, soft, smooth, vertically at other than these think this one is rough, very different. it's from the floods. well, no, i don't know if i need to go when i say it with them. well no, so that's out of the medical ways wholesalers often
10:52 am
store the tooth and warehouse. it's in order to increase demand from the mills and those drive up the price. in recent years, the government has closed down several joke mounts, which were said to be unprofitable. tens of thousands were left unemployed. there are plans to modernize the industry according to the ministry, to the privately owned house on ali, to smell and folklore of sources do from all over the country and produces it in 3 ships, 24 hours a day. 7 days a week, the, the conditions are bad. the temperatures colors
10:53 am
the task from the fibers present to the body, the exports go to india. the neighboring country is the world's largest producer of 2, but they still need imports to supplement their own harvest. products include 2nd delicate textiles and sometimes called pets. yes. mm. okay,
10:54 am
not true to. fabrics may not be very soft, but they are durable and highly feasible. production manager mohammed drum and tells us that the material was already being used in the 18th century in germany, in the region of present day. has this been one of the died of money pick a would put the will actually, the so called haitian goes back to germany, square soldiers uniforms used to be made of jude out of money to say this was then adopted by the british army or we will shut the beat issue that there, and they then called a fabric ocean. how can you see that the money hit cnn forsythe
10:55 am
late? i've tried to go to the over 800 companies in bangladesh, now manufactured to products. and that number is growing. the more awareness of due to environmental sustainability could be created worldwide. global interests would really help save that his li, farmers separately. that's our germany is one of the
10:56 am
pioneers in the industrial revolution before getting off to, if they were to import truth from our country, from cosign deals with a governmental to go to the water, we could produce more of the golden fiber and supply of, i mean, even though she forgot to come to nice virus to harvest more get back to and a lot of farmers would come forward. cultivate you to try to get us up as a desk. so i took the water, found out i had to park though we do. the main challenge, i think is the price fluctuation. there is no certainty compelling. if the government put a system in place to guarantee that it would by the to, to not as it already does with rice have to do then i think this would mitigate the risk of being charged for the conduct of it did. they did show government done, conduct the back of it. the only issue saelens ticket being asked about will use to to not plastic. make a come back. the history farmers hope so,
10:57 am
but it's up to others to make it happen. until then, a thoughts will continue farming as best he can today he finds himself at the market in the evening and i bought the car when i get a good harvest and earn a good amount of money. i buy suites for the children at home. i say to myself, eat more, don't think about money today. we're not pushing away with the harvest. that brings in the most money makes me the happiest, whatever. when i sell my harvest at the market, i forget all the hard work. it motivates me to keep working on it and then i'm even happy. i don't go a lot all the the
