Guest guest Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 A bit more from Dan Etherington (Kokonut Pacific): Dear , Just to clarify: the copra producers work for themselves and are not literally slaves. But they are trapped in a system where there is no other means of earning an income and the structures of our market- driven global economy make them very vulnerable to price fluctuations over which they have no control. It is this that makes them feel enslaved. Moreover, the process of making copra (which they do on their own little farms) is a very dirty tedious laborious process…… They hate the work but usually have no other options for trying to earn an income for medical needs, school fees, clothes etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
