shibata remained in myanmar after her two children were born. her long years of effort are bearing fruit. >> translator: our produce is growing well since we adopted organic farming. >> translator: i hope to see more farmers making efforts for the sake of the farming industry as a whole. shibata has launched a new venture opening a fruit and vegetable shop in the largest city this spring. the aim is to sell organic vegetables grown by the farmers she's taught. the items carry higher price tags than those on sale in urban markets, producing them is both labor and time intensive and they've been well received by the foreign customers including japanese. >> translator: the asparagus is in season. it is sweet and really tasty. these were also picked only yesterday. >> as sales rose, the farmer's earnings nearly doubled. >> translator: it's ten years since i started the endeavor. i hope that the seeds i've sowed will spread and gradually grow into wonderful flowers one day. >> shibata's efforts to help farmers show no sign of stopping. rosalynn debha
