Whenever I have inquired, I found the mark up for the retailer is close to the farmers' margin, who has to plant, and harvest, and risk losses from natural adversity.

Posts like this make us give farm produce and farmers the respect that is rightfully due them. I feel awful seeing people work so terribly hard for a measly sum. Reminds me of a scene in Indonesia two years ago where kargadors went inside the crater of a stinking volcano, virtually engulfed in fumes, to pry chunks of sulphur (for medicine) and carry these down the mountain in large baskets. They, too, were carrying more than their weight, and early the equivalent of $3/day. The sight made me uncomfortable about being a carefree tourist. Where is justice? Thanks, MM.

Kudos to those who walk the sloping mountain sides with this on their heads.... Is this method of carrying stuff an Asian thing? I.e. the tea leaf pickers in India, Japan; Try to transpose this picture to the highlands like Benguet or Sagada… Kudos to those who walk the sloping mountain sides with this on their heads….
