In Senegal, it's known as monkey bread. With high levels of calcium, vitamin C, phosphorus and magnesium, the fruit from the baobab tree has many health benefits. It's being called a "superfruit" and is becoming popular across the world. Our colleagues from France 2 report, with FRANCE 24’s Emerald Maxwell.

This French man should be arrested for unfair payment to these people! He only pays them 60 cents for a 1 kilogram bag= about 2 pounds. I am sure he is making hundreds of dollars!!!☹️

I am Kenyan and my home county has so many baobab trees including in our farm. Most of my neighbors aren't concerned because of the poor prices. Anyone interested to export them am a ready business partner.

Can we talk about the white man obviously exploiting black labour? Like, he's paying 60c per kilo. But obviously selling it for like €20 per 100g in Europe.

@beavischrist5 Жыл бұрын

Its been sold here in the netherlands for about 30 euros per kg. Shipping to europe is expensive and processing setup cost money. Tax and regulations make it more expensive. i think 60 cent per kilo is to little, maybe 5 euros per kg.

@theworkethic Жыл бұрын

Exploiting? You are probably using a phone that exploited some community. This is another goofy statement by someone that has no access to the transactions of the product and just blabbing an opinion. The whole comment starts with “white” and “exploiting black labour.” So goofy and emotional, nothing logical

@beavischrist5 you are mistaking raw material with refined oil or powder. it takes 20 kg of raw material to make 1Kg oil.

The term "poverty" is subjective and not objective and cannot be measured in terms of money. There are many poor people living in Europe who earn a hundred times more than Africans because their living expenses are too high. And conversely there are millions of rich people living in Africa compared to Europeans who are rich in health, fresh air, sunshine, happiness.

yes africans are very rich but only thing they dont get to eat very easily but they are rich so french can loot them and all europeans...

Quite postmodern vision, objectivity or subjectivity, in reality, there's no kind of separation. The subjectivity is only possible through objectivity. You may say "poverty term lacks substance" what's true, for World Bank someone living with US$3.00 per day isn't in poverty can you imagine a norwegian survive with US$3.00 per day? Impossible he/she will literally die by starving at some point.
