Brazil nuts are one of the most sustainable nuts. They're not grown on farms. They're collected in the rainforest after they drop naturally off wild trees. While the nuts support Indigenous tribes' livelihoods, collectors have a tough job. They have to hike deep into the jungle, avoiding deadly falling nuts and wildlife, all to haul 100-pound loads back out. And now their industry is at risk because of low prices for their nuts and illegal clear-cutting of the rainforest. We visit the Apiaká tribe in Mato Grosso, Brazil, to see how they're using Brazil nuts as a weapon against deforestation.

I’d much rather pay these harvester $19.99 for 16 oz that’s what I just paid at Walmart. I hope these guys can save forest.
I'd rather pay $24.99 if the harvesters get a large share of that (I understand that the trbasport etc. needs their 4.99 or so) - considering the dangerous environment, the workers should be compensated for harvesting these delicious nuts.
Thx to these people my life changed i was suffering from lack of magnésium, iode , and sélénium since i started eating them i became another person full of energy , i feel so mucj gratitude to these Farmer and want ot thank them for their hard work , thank you from Morocco another part of the world.
You are what you eat!
The Amazon Rain Forest is actually one big ancient farm.
Is a self sustainable food/life forest
No, it isn't. It contains remnants of ancient agriculture, but it's not a "big ancient farm". Thee's no evidence to even prove that it's entirely created by ancient farming.
That is a complete lie being spread around. There are hundreds of very delicate species of Orchids which humans could NOT have developed and planted, but which grow all over the Amazon and would die and become extinct if their forest was cut down.
@@tparker2095 If it's true that the indigenous amazonians' ancestors deliberately spread brazilnut seeds around to ensure that there would be more of them to grow a staple food of theirs, then in a way, it is a bit of early farming.
These nuts are so expensive but yummy I had to see how they were processed.
This was eye-opening.
It's a shame Brazilian government do not protect the indegenous territory. On the contrary, each time more land is being invaded by agriculture and cows. Give them what is their from the ages before! Including the merits of all etnoscience!
God bless the Brazil Nut workers at all levels.
Thank you for all your hard work so that we can enjoy these delicious and nutritious nuts.
The Math is wrong: They get paid $1.60 per Kilo (2 pounds). There are 907 Kilos in 1 ton, meaning they get just over $1450 per ton of nuts.
If any harvesters are reading this, I just paid $30USD/kg (or $30000 USD/tonne) for these nuts here in Canada. Find a way to export your product to Canada or the USA. Don't sell domestically.
$11 for 680g @ costco in USA
It's a shame Brazilian government do not protect the indigenous territory!
trái gì lạ, thú vị quá , cám ơn bạn đã chia sẻ
Love you guys Trinidad and Tobago
Very nice 👌 i can eat a whole bag, but recently i feel itchy afterwards
Math is so bad in this video, that they have disabled the dislike button.
$1,64 a ton? Jesus, that's just crazy. You have to pay like $10 per kilo of those in the store. At least where I live.
In brazil is $15 kilo
I pay 8 dollar for 200 grams
I recently bought some $15 for 15 ounces. I was advised to eat them for health reasons so I said I would try them. Hope the workers are getting a fair share for their hard work.
👌👍
$1.64 per 2,000 pounds??? There’s something very wrong with that.
It is wrong. 8 reais o quilo. A ton is 1000 quilos or 1640$.
Here in UK we pay £2.80 for 200 grams and £14 per 1kg
um, i pay $7/lb for brazil nuts here in canada. That means the markup is 15,400% after the harvesters get their $1/ton. and they think they are getting a good deal ???????
Absolutely shameful. Big business treats these people like slaves.
Since this is a DOLLAR earning produce, Brazil government should start ZONING this area for farmers.
This is nuts that the harvesters don't get even $2 for a ton of them :(
No. 8 reais kg. 1.6 dollar. In south Brazil 20 reais (4 dollar) for 300 gr. 1000 = 1 kg.
@@TailanOlkoskishe said it’s for a ton. And I just read that some get 5 reais for a ‘lata’ which is 18 liters.
Save the nuts !
What's the importance of letting people know that the workers are "indigenous" so much? Who else would it be?
Indigenous is different than local, and both are different than workers brought in from abroad.
$0.06 a ton is wild
Correction, it’s about $1600 per tonne for the harvesting tribes, you did your math very wrong
60.000 families farm these nuts. That's insane. Just 200.000 people going about their lives farming brazil nuts.
I paid $28/kg for this nuts in India where as i can get almonds for $7.8/kg and cashews for $8.3/kg.
I assumed cashews would be cheaper in India. Here in Croatia i found cashews for a similar price per kg, and they are imported from Vietnam, Togo and Burkina Faso.
6 cents a ton???
Kkkkkkkk No. 8000$ reais ton, or 1,600$ dollars.
