Company collapsed. My make me travel if you yes and now i live in a ghetto you see. Everything you flew both or you see i was good then you do if. It were down the other Seasonal Workers lived in shanty towns dilapidated huts or tents in the middle of fields. Theres no water no sanitary facilities electricity or heating. That on no where im living. I didnt know where im living. Now never. Because if i didnt theyd then go worrying. That we. Want to how you are here you have to fight to take over your family. Or you even sometimes causes all of them doubt problem to call you and you can see that you can help them flew off for years fighting like trouble now our life is like no real life to have all family. In chairing the owner of the pier trying to scotto cooperative grows organic tomatoes it also hired Seasonal Workers from africa but they earn a decent wage and are given proper contracts that not day laborers at the mercy of the exploitative couple are allowed to system. The un shy kids from senegal and has worked on many. Dante sions. Anybody we need a. Long longer be you or he was only when i began here that i realized what goes on at the other plantations. I used to think it was just the way things worked in italy and now im here i understand whats going on i lie about that were being exploited he said there but. For you coming to me pietro what i got so is head of the cooperative he wants to raise awareness of the plight of the Seasonal Workers. From other n. H. S. You know what i need to tell consumers when im there so that you could buy a can of tomato puree for 0. 40 Alex Abdul Giuseppe and antonio were exploring some studies they were forced to live in terrible conditions with no basic rights no Running Water and no electricity. So do you still want to buy those tomatoes. Presence of tomato products are sold for next to nothing even though picking processing packaging and transport all have to be accounted for profit is all that matters thats why a kilo of tomatoes often fetches as little as 5 cents. Said was the question because i as a farmer am getting paid just 0. 05 per kilo now how am i going to make a living its impossible i need to buy the seedlings irrigate i need fertilizer i need to rent a tractor it wolf. These are not costs the only flexible costs are the wages i pay my workers we mustnt forget the copper a lot a system is a consequence its a consequence of a market that has spiraled completely out of control for lots. Of us. Get through wants to beat the system because tomatoes are sold through a Fair Trade Organization for 30 instead of 0. 05 per kilo. Bucking the global system isnt easy it involves restructuring the entire farm to consume a chain. Or start a bull when you are no billionaire pietro aims to prove that process tomato products can be made ethically he wants his cooperative to serve as an example a small step to changing the entire production system. With a video that has lots of people say we need to help the situation improve their garden so that these people dont come here in the 1st place weve got to make Global Economics and politics make that impossible the economy is no tomato processing industry in ghana which goes to show how sick the system is how utterly crazy the system im allowed to complete them in the fall. In europe industrial farming subsidies and wage dumping are resulting in surpluses cut price european tomatoes end up exported to International Markets today italy is just a minor player in the global tomato industry china is now the worlds biggest producer its exports tomato paste often diluted with cheap fill in gradients all over the world 60000000. 00 tons per year 10 times more than italy the most to. Important metric in Global Exports is profitability any negative impact on the countries that import the goods is irrelevant because free trade is the principle that opens the African Market to exports after independence african countries introduced customs duties in order to protect domestic farmers and emerging industries but now these restrictions are being lifted despite the fact that most african nations still struggle to compete on the International Market gonna came under International Pressure when he tried to increase import tariffs on tomato products to 40 percent of that now at 10 percent and containers full of cut price tomatoes continue to arrive in the country. Economist corbett no 2 is familiar with the problem and as an academic he can speak more freely than the gun and government which has to take into account International Investors yeah a fresh one in my child that you. Got a lot of said yeah wow. So this one child was. Only touching her son from 0 to. About 70 percent fudge. The problem with this product. Is god. There are more less than 200. 00 of us to. This market at foothill methods. Push him out. Of the mess to please us. So you harbor a large number of tomato foreigners who for most of us tomato paste and rice are not the only products jap. Dicing African Markets and threatening the livelihoods of farmers in 21000 for example they give you also exported milk powder concentrate and me to west africa. At this market in accra its easy to see how imports are driving out domestic products translates into job losses only translates destruction of my view. It translates into puppets. And it translates into cash tradition values young people want to get up to this country. The demodex are fast. Changing this this because you have lost control bob was there a while back about 3 years ago and part of stick on food from the us and us could come out of africa and work on opportunities. For us how this shows the response from if you try to change policy to value. Free trishna not destroy lives of. The cosmic massage sometimes for the fun top fun stuff because those are the profit but if you. Dont use us i meant. To monte a pontiac as an agricultural advisor in northern ghana me at the tomato factory in point thats gone out of business. As a result of local farmers a desperate. Many of them leave the region others are experimenting with alternative crops and some still do grow tomatoes but just for their own families some of. The border but no knowledge but you know unless you know how to do it and letting people know you need to bundle what little you know about it about them on our problem obama on your problem not the one element by element. But all the place where she was all done by to want to remind the public factor was incessant they used to make a lot of money even. Though they did told me that they were making plenty money because do it in fact in needed it and in the market as we need it its. The more left. You know. How long will now know what. We have to show much so we have to continue to put in much effort as we come. To. The soldiers and the 2 month or 3 did very well mail it came to market new market so every 10 what person or field know how they know where people are not coming to buy and it led to some say. They come to take their lives because you dont think their lives thereby will come after them they dont have and will have to be. Right.

Its hard to tell if someones on that way to the market or on their way to europe. Some who decide to make the journey dont tell their families until theyve already left. Many young man in the region are tired of waiting for life to improve they get to a point where leaving feels like their only option. Is the man who hope to work on one of italys tomato plantations have only one way to reach europe across the Sahara Desert in the mediterranean its a journey that will cost some of them their lives. To. The keratitis Relief Organization has built a chapel near the tomato fields in a poorly there are showers here and the workers can also seek advice and free medical treatment edward survive the journey from africa but he had an accident in the van on the way to the tomato fields under normal circumstances this would be covered by Workers Compensation and edward would be paid sick leave but on a pulley as tomato plantations ed wood is only paid for the crates he fills so he needs to get back on his feet as quickly as possible i mean they dont work they dont earn anything with that see that we should be providing them with support and.

Near the town of techy mountain one man has made it his mission to revitalize the local tomato industry when he returned home to ghana some years ago with apollo or for it was shocked by what he saw defunct factories desperate farmers and tons of imported tomatoes after studying and working in the u. S. He wants to invest in his own country. And tomatoes could be a gold mine read to gold but hes also aware of his social responsibility. Is going to change. The landscape because once we start broad produce and on a lot of very large scale in 510 years we want to see their whole lives good changes into producing quality. So matters. Many attempts have been made to revive the lantern Auto Industry a factory was opened here in touching down in 2007 but its been closed for years perhaps its about to get a 2nd chance. But by night its gonna do is gonna provide a run for in the ukraine because this is home we are. Was the youth have to go and see off work then they will go after them. Thats going to the right to remain word will die. If the government wants to make sure that the industry surviving the house to be aware of proof took to the investors but 1st like reducing the reports from outside into the country but if the government does not provide that comfort zone then the competition would be unbearable for us unfortunately. If the tomato factory was given a fat chance it might help boost the regions fortunes. Trade policies could support development in struggling countries rather than endure it. That benedict his family might be able to and a living from tomato farming her husband could remain at home. And if he did decide to work in europe for a while he might be able to travel back safely and live and work in fact conditions. If. If. If. Its. Really really. Early mostly. Meaningless turnovers he.
