1:27 pm
fibers, the jude has to soak and water for 12 to 15 days. so that it starts to rock if the plan was already very ripe when it was harvested, i can take it out again after just $8.00 to $10.00 days, but i thought i'd go to the of the in a huge pond right next door. the dude sticks are almost ready. okay, that was the the i see the, 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 too hard that, that will clear. no. it's not think about the kind of set function that i think it will take another 4 or 5 days

1:31 pm
a climate that is humid and hot. jude has been harvested in process tier for centuries. the british colonial rulers took the jew grown here and sold it all over the world. the highest quality fibers have a golden color. these are set to grow best near rivers. that's why many dude farmers live by rivers or in the middle of rivers, islands called chars. the char bye to allies in the middle of the jump moon river, which originates in the himalayas as the from a put try river. the army notice is a jude farmer. here the
1:32 pm
lie. 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 brothers and goods. every day i come back here in the morning and believe in the evening. i loved the nature here. however, the ears, fresh, uncommon look to however, there's so much to do on the island so many opportunities on the mainland. i have no land and nothing to working with i 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 glance.
1:33 pm
he tells us that the pirates stole his cows, is it's 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 i was outside of my c id. it must be with the rainy season that floods over twice. i go as i so we moves the coast, the mainland on the boots very well. but the exist in 2 or 3 days. everything here is under water and i saw his umbrella. this was all over, it was then we came up to the tin roof of the house with the monthly wooden planks don't. let's have to. 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 as we were thinking since the volume of the dates to get him as take it back. he talk, this is so, so what i'm a landlord i mean,
1:34 pm
nor 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 jude tons are resilient to they can with a stand 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 fax their what it is totally ruins you by the always, you know, if i grew up with the but couldn't because of the extreme flooding. we couldn't harvest quickly in any way and they died. so i have those in the flood lasted for
1:35 pm
almost 3 weeks. hopefully the problem is, i believe, is in there by the, by the everything was right about the i've heard that there are new fiber by me as it by the i should do the lose of the shop. the water comes in the plan trimmings under water for too long period turns black around. no, i then ogden is no good for more. i got to think of the problem is that gives you though, that the list of only the golden, shimmering fibers are really worth and i think so bottom, look, i don't know a box of the even if the plant certainly have some commercial. walter, how structural the fibers that come, i drove low quality by the i bought the, we gets a lower price on the market because they are just colored or even black or not as of the dollars. why 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.
1:36 pm
they have nothing on the mainland. the river is both a curse and a blessing for the 2 times to watch your noise just then with the minerals, but threatens them with much. no good finding me. i live on the river. water isn't murphy. the stream carries on most of the soil and clean the substances. stick to the doot fibers degreed in quality, and causing the juice to block in good. however, if the river washers channelled into a pond or a canal with the water is clear and fresh, i know the cute trimmings on damaged platinum retains its golden color. so they have created artist visual canals and water holes. the
1:37 pm
if i didn't know, do they got the bottle? this is walter that comes from the river by the all the impurities in the month of settled to the bottom of the water with the bundle. by the time while actually the water is clear. and that's how you can still get the golden color if it's a 5 block, 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 a low pressure. the i wonder if we don't have a, if there's too much plastic around, then harms the crumbs. so we gather it in burnett. that solves the problems. are plastic. the 2? no people want to use less plastic bag by this help because we have already in the past batch are made of jute most now we're going back to jude shopping bag sacks, etc. and people are fed up with plastic that
1:38 pm
of the 200 kilometers down stream. there are people who want to solve the plastic problem with the house of 2 in the capital deca scientists are working on the show nally back project, translating as the golden back. it looks and feels like a plastic bag, but it's made from cellulose, derived from cute if the invention of bangladesh, the scientists, dr. mubarak and con, protective suits and mass have also been produced using this new bio plastic. the
1:39 pm
main raw material is dried dude fibers. then we find the setters because the main ingredient of this one in the back is set arrows definitely made descent loose from just condition. then we put into the, to the x from think that 3 x rays, we have to set the set up the temperature, pretty sharp, i'm time for the poor direction, and then we own the skype. so some of these are the exact formula. it's a secret and says doctor con, additionally, bag has suffered some setbacks. it was just about to go into mass production when the color pen to make it. the sewing bags from this to polymer is also still a problem. the producers don't have access to the right machines using to to per
1:40 pm
fiber, reinforced compass. it's 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 things. uh, is your company to commit 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 boss with the flex pilot in 1st complet you 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, higher than that i do sometimes it's, i just have a good quality plots the sum of 10 times i have 10 to 2. so in that case, juke is the potential candidate for making the complex or
1:41 pm
the i have to do. every scientist has to mind the destination, what i want to go there. this is a dissolution. so lastly, i want to say why i'm using 12. why? because the truth is really incredible. because it wanted 70 percent centers. you cannot find any d or pulse in all of them was waste content. 71. there are some plans, but it's not plenty. it's not kind of give it to anybody like to is this susan of corruption bundle with dish? so it is the hardest thing time use $110.00 days on the other,
1:42 pm

1:43 pm
it's 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 upward come down at the ministry of tech styles and do this absolutely mobile idea and the mobile home account he is working on that you already know any already talked to him, but the, the, somebody should actually, uh, the need to be addressed before waiting for the most protection. kind of uh, uh the costing things the other cool thing. of course, the homeless actually cost that is $1.00 issue. um, because people know get actually plastic bags or anything big boobs tipped
1:44 pm
almost at the low cost. so that is $11.00 issue actually there is a stick completion with the this plus people for the next door. interesting. but a good product. but the plastic community is very, very strong. keep on pipe dealers. dollars business every year for the single do us shopping back. so they are not easily allow you to enter the market plastics. an industry that is blocking jude farmers expansion and increasingly jeopardizing their very existence the weekly meeting of the dude farmers of history. 2 of the sizes, brothers are also here, states on what they tell us that plastic causes
1:45 pm
a lot of damage to their crops. somebody might have done, but i don't think they've got a of this plastic is very harmful though. when it burns, like sticky, dangerous residues remain in 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 rose. well, if the soil is boys under a 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 iops, 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 rock . and i mean it's a real crisis. i got them kind of table tight. there are so many things we could do
1:46 pm
that. i knew what i'm next hardwood they do mind if i i, when i better have them do that, was that it is, it is a hole in love, but i need to do the struggle. we used to have more of them, but then you know, they were leased by the government to people who are farming fish in the country by me. so it kind of your boxes near and also low to plan and we'll charge you there is still going to be sure to, to run. it must cut out wherever there is water upon the dishes canals. it is, it was a lot to know. they are all use for fish farm and ready to go to is i got the, the, our hands are tied on while you're doing that. coming up is that have mazda, tasha johnson, how much would it make to go to? and that's why they have created their own artificial ponds. these experienced 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
1:47 pm
the less. and this is how you waiting to talk the clock does will still go to lou. will got a big deal in addition. 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?
1:48 pm
you sticks us, fire, we're done with it. done any develop this 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 like the when to is still very young. it's leaves are used in cooking and are very healthy. are you ps? wife alo, so so so we'll talk soon, these a green vegetables are full of vitamins healthy i mean i just gently as ensure that we build up our immune system, him be the the

pioneers in the industrial revolution before getting off to, if they were to import truth from our country. st. deals with a governmental to go to the water, we could produce more of the golden fiber and suppliers. i mean, even though she forgot to come out on the spirals to harvest more, they packed, you know, most of farmers would come forward, cultivate you to try to get us up as a direct us to fill out the water allowed to park. though we do, the main challenge, i think is the price fluctuation. there is no certainty. if the government put a system in place to guarantee that it would buy the to, to not as it already does with rice have to do that. i think this wouldn't mitigate the risk of being charged for the conduct of it. did a detailed government done conduct the back of its the only issue saelens ticket being asked about will use to to not plastic. make a come back. the history farmers hope so,
