That's what the new farm laws were designed for. Farmers in Northen states can't do this as their produce must have to be sold in the designated markets and they can't sell it directly to other countries like these people in Kerala and TN. Kerala and TN already removed the old farm laws before central gov did it. When Central gov did it all over the country, they protested against it and as a result, farmers in regions like Punjab will not be able to sell their products directly like this.
My childhood summers were spent eating the outer fruits of nutmeg/mace with salt and chili powder, so long so long.. The red ants called "neeru" in malayalam are really vicious, but less poisonous than "katturumbu". It has been years since I saw one. Their nests are pretty and how they weave the leaves together is a work of art.
The issue is that you can not simply "adapt" this method, you have to actually create it - like the video said, a community project, not just one person...

So happy to see that Indian farmers are directly benefitting from their crop value. No middlemen. The internet is a wonderful thing. This is wealth distribution at its best. A very interesting process. Their mace looks opulent. I must get some from this region directly. Thank you for an excellent program!
I like knowing this. Thank you for sharing this story. I appreciate it. I am glad that local people are able to tend and bring their produce to market for fair prices for the work the do. Yes, I cook with both mace and nutmeg; and other spices and herbs; frequently. I buy organic spices. I am not in a position to be selective, because mostly I buy from the local grocery store.

Try buy the whole spice. Much stronger flavour and lasts longer as well. Most ground spices have fillers to increase volume.

Nutmeg actually has dark history. Back in the day, it's native to Banda island, Indonesia and only grow there. The island was under british rule. The dutch want to monolopolized the nutmeg trading, because it's as precious as gold. They trade new amsterdam (now Manhattan) with Banda Island. They also massacred the local there.

It was mostly popular in Kerala and Tamil Nadu provinces of India, since ancient times, apart from its native Indonesia, until it was popularized by the Portuguese in Europe and the world beyond.
Thank you for explaining the value of the Indian nutmeg/mace compared to other varieties. I hope to look for some Pollachi spices and support your co-op.
Nutmeg trees grow wild in the jungles of the northern part of the Western Province of Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 (the province shares a border with Indonesia where nutmeg is said to be native to) but I don't think people here know what it is. As kids, we used to love to eat the bitter outer flesh with salt & throw away the inner parts lol
Worker cooperatives and unions are the future of labor worldwide. I hope many people would ditch the middlemen and band together to sell and manage their own produce.
Regional cooperatives have always been the ideal way to make and sell product. There's a reason for all the intense government protections etc on cheeses in Europe. You just have to be careful not to spread past your area of expertise or region because that's where shady stuff butts in and you get companies and corporations.
When india tried to enact farm laws that gave the farmers more authority over their produce there was massive anarchy at least some Indian states took heed because middlemen are exploiting farmers
We have a few nutmeg trees in my paternal home. On my last day visit, my uncle handed me a few nutmeg seeds fallen on the ground and told that this can be propogated. Already knowing that this spice is expensive and takes about 7 years to bear fruits, i though of planting a few. But the information about the high yielding pollachi variety is now to me. Thanks for the valuable facts.

Greqt initiative. But, pollachi is water deficient region and is high risk growing nutmeg that needs good level of irrigation. Compared to Tamil nadu if the worker is getting 250 Rs, in Kerala you need to pay minimum Rs 500, which obviously increases the production cost of Nutmeg.
@@Solyolvimirshe also mentioned that subracting food costs, the 10,000 R/month was not enough. She did mention that that the food on the farm is good and plentiful so room and board is likely part of her pay in addition to the 250R per day.
The farm bill was meant to remove the middle men, but when our own people are so brainwashed by external funding, what can be done, hopefully this changes

Mr. Ranjith - If you are seeing this. Please provide a suit to the workers to protect them from fire ants, something similar to bee workers suit. That story about the girl Kokila's mother being bitten and risk of those ants falling into eyes are sad.
These are not expensive these days. Initially it was treated as gold. In north india, these are easily available. But it can take away your life if consumed improperly. It has huge heating properties. So proper amount is to be taken.

Can someone explain to me why the picker employee is happier making 7,500 rupees a month versus 10,000??
According to other comments, she gets room and board at the farm, while at her previous job she had to take care of all her expenses. Also working in a factory in a country that wasn't industrialized in the 19th century sucks
@@EphemeralPseudonym Ahhh, okay. This makes more sense. I am in the USA and have no experience or concept of working in other countries so I was just confused about it. I know there are cultural and economical differences at play. I mean if she is happy and healthy that is what matters. I just truly did not understand when she stated she is happier with the lower wage but this makes more sense now. Thank you for informing me.
Mr. Ranjith - If you are seeing this. Please provide a suit to the workers to protect them from fire ants, something similar to bee workers suit. That story about the girl Kokila's mother being bitten and risk of those ants falling into eyes are sad.
Nutmeg is native to Indonesia, but India seems to have an upper hand when it comes to marketing them.
If you look up Pollachi nutmeg you can find the farm. It’s in Tamil Nadu.
time to send this to Townsends
This is a nutmeg that many Europeans have long sought in our country, Indonesia

Farmer's are the one's who always get paid the least regardless of country or product.
So how the heck are their town still look so poor When their spices are worth much?

Why does the narrator sound like she's narrating an animal documentary? 😂
People who complain about the price of spices should watch this
These are not expensive these days. Initially it was treated as gold. In north india, these are easily available.
But it can take away your life if consumed improperly. It has huge heating properties. So proper amount is to be taken.
Indeed, poisoning can be very bad from nutmeg and can make someone crazy for many days too
