Video on Pineapple

What is the true cost of pineapple? That is the question needs to be taken into consideration since each supermarket have their own price. The narrator talks about her trip to Costa Rica and sees that they have their own problems to take care of, like the spillage of argochemical that goes in rivers and lead to the ocean. Its interesting to hear from different people in Costa Rica talks about how their live has change due to the spillage of agrochemicals fromt the Dole Company at Batan airport. Some of them have the same complaint on working hard to take care of their family and how things have change due to the spillage. One lady by the name Aidi (not sure if i spell it right) talks about how her heatlh came from great to ground. At first she was happy with her life that no illness was to reach her level of surviving however the spillage turn her life the other way around. Sadly, others talk about working hard to make sure his daughter has a shot at a good education and leading a good life. Seems like his daughter is his motivation of providing for their family no matter what.The others share with the watchers how hard it is to get a holiday off to go see his family in Niaguara. I was suprised to see that worker have to ask for permission to be off on holidays. Doesn't everyone deserve to be off that paticular day? Since were talking about Costa Rica i think they have a different interpretation of holidays.
Anyways, some companies do encounter these kinds of problems such as spillage or shortage on products. People working in large company deals with oil and dangerous chemical should be really careful with the work they do or else the mistakes they made will wipe out most lives in Costa Rica. The idea of using chemicals for growing plants has a take on its pros and cons. Its good that it protects the crop from pesticides but it might be dangerous for the crop itself. The usage of chemical on crops for fast growth and protection should be limited. Perhaps it makes work more easier but they should also consider the outcome of their decision of using those chemicals. Towards the end of the video the narrator did mention that the less people pay in Europe the higher the price people pay in Costa Rica. Is that fair? Aside from all the things shown in the video it all comes down to what the narrator says and i also agree with her. Its the supermarket and big traders who should set the price and put a stop at price war. They are the ones who can make the decisions and hopefully a price that will satisfy not only the big traders but the customers too.
