It’s sad when local market of the producing countries don’t get the quality grades.
Nothing sad or unfair about it. They can if they want pay more than the exporters and have some if they want, but they have of their own free will decided they would rather spend their money on something else.
@@cianmoriarty7345
The *way international trade laws are written;* *_precludes the African Farmers from the production of the end products and selling or exporting the products;_* *by the old Eurocolonial powers.*
You must have
Issed the part where they had sacks open with all 4 grades out and rdy to be sold. The fact that they probably cant afford it is a diffrent story. Just like heroin in Afghanistan they make the best it comes to america yet all the locals in Afghanistan get shit why when they are the ones making it? Because they are happy with the lesser product or its stupid to use the good stuff when it sells for 10x times more if you sell it. Hence why the rule of dont get high on your own supply is such a valuable rule across all business. Buy for a dollar sell for 2 if you use your product your losing that extra profit. Buy for a dollar sell for 2 then buy 2 more 1 for yourself and another to sell and now your talking otherwise stupid business move
@@cianmoriarty7345Look into unequal exchange
This is pretty common with cash crops. Traditionally, Cannabis growers in the US sell all of their "tops" because they're worth more since they're esthetically pleasing and have a higher resin content. Most if their personal smoke comes from the lower and mid section of the plant 🤷♂️
At such a price, the workers should receive and deserve a high salary, which unfortunately does not seem to be the case
You say that with no info at all. You all are so brainwashed to always have this fake virtue signaling.
Then ends up price of product will go further up when workers r paid more. Yes, they sud be paid a fair price n their wages sud support their living.
All these workers do is harvest the raw resin. Refining it into oil takes much more resin than what is yielded in oil and its an expensive process
How do you know how much these people make?
It never is
Start giving more money to the farmers.
This is the right Comment 🫵🏻💚
@@i12b34usort of, it's already over harvested to the point that it's approaching endangerment. I'm not saying they shouldn't make more, since 35-50% of household income in the area is derived from harvesting the incense, but the issue would have to be approached in such a way that it wouldn't lead to the entire market being stolen from them or overharvesting going up to the point that this resource goes extinct.
Its a renewable resource genius
@@snakeoo7cayes it is but if it isn't given the time to renew there isn't just magically going to be more lying around
Why? The amount they are paid is likely the country standard.
The people doing the process isn’t makin enough to feed their family everyday, it’s the higher up people that makes money unlike these hardworkin men, women and kids smh
Dw, the guys who make all the money say they’re muslims and that they give it to charity. They adopt luxury cars and women to support conservation efforts.
@@4m4n40doesnt matter if theyre muslim or christian or atheist. Its fucked up
Ya, they should receive a VERY GOOD salary and have a good quality of life.... not live in poverty at all! This is extremely unfair.
I know right?? It's like slavery and exploitation never ended?? 😮🤔🤨
Where did you get this information?
It is stupid and very frustrating for the locals that the best quality is completely exported and just the lowest quality kept for them. To be fair, some of the best should be kept for the population !
Not at all. This is only because they'd rather have something else.
@@cianmoriarty7345 What? For example, i lived in Mexico and, over there, all the best quality stuff was always exported : the best bananas, the best limes, the best oranges (and it applied to objects too) and the people there were so, so frustrated about that! If they wanted to have the same quality, they had to re-buy the stuff from other countries and re-import it, so they would have to pay 10 times the prices for something made on their land. And in Quebec province, as another example, we produce a lot ot labradorite semi-precious stones... but they are all sold to China and when people want to buy that stone they have to import it from China and pay 10 times the price, which is just stupid and extremely unfair (i know that because I make jewelry).
@@cameleonfleuriThey could get money to buy food, build their house, raise their kid instead of consuming their high quality product. I mean, do you really think banana farmers never tasted their own fruit, both the low and high quality? The way you word your comment, it sound like you want them to stay poor, eating banana everyday instead of exchanging it for resources that they don't have.
Yeah, the price is expensive but that is how the market work. Things with high demand are naturally pricier and if you produce your own product like the banana farmer, nobody can stop him from eating it himself but its would be no different spending your weekly wages to buy a tub of ice cream. If you're complaining that the locals didn't get any of it due to its price, then do you think the farmers/producers should be forced to sell it to the locals regardless of the cost and risk taken for its production?
@cameleonfleuri
I felt the same frustration when I lived in a Mediterranean climate. Now I live in a place which produces machinery, soy, and vaccines. Glum, dangerous & gloomy, but the market has all kinds of produce.
@@13gan I don't understand what i meant. I simple meant that SOME of the quality products made in the country shoud be kept for the local, not all of it !
Take care of trees and workers. Frankenscense is sacred 🙏
It’s not sacred, it’s just not plentiful.
So sacred that you couldn't even be bothered to spell it right(in the era of autocorrect no less lol)
It's very sacred. If you don't believe it to be sacred, please do not try to destroy another person's sentiment, because you might not be aware or have the same knowledge base as the person who believes it to be sacred.
@@kimberlyjackson3660 thank you for being kind. 💖
@@nignamedmutt7270 I'm disabled asshole.
Bless these people working so hard for such low pay
They need to work harder if they want to get rich.
you can always send money to them
But the person who harvests it only gets a bowl of beans n rice for their efforts.
Does anyone in this video look particularly rich to you? Where do you suppose the theft occurs?
More like meat and milk, in desert areas only livestock can be raised. I fact they are a essential as microbes mostly exist in their digestive tract not the soil so without them only fire breaks down plants removing soil carbon which means less plant cover as more of the limited rain is not absorbed.
Omg
She looks like she’s from Ethiopia where I’m from and I’m sure she doesn’t know it sells for that much!!!!!
It is harvested mostly in Ethiopia. Along the cliffs. Very dangerous work.
Exactly that is our country ethiopia
Indeed she is a typical rural Ethiopian mother. Besides the basic chores she is spending her time like this to feed her family
That's why education is so important, and access to internet. Everyone should be able to look up the prices so they know they are screwed over and then demand more.
I know it's way more complex than that, but education is key.
Frankincense, gold n myrrh💫🤲🏾
Presents given to baby Jesus at his birth.🌠
I like a little bark in my frankincense. To me, it adds a nice touch to the smoke when burned.
I'm sure the locals do too. They are happy to sell the higher grade stuff to idiots who will over pay.
What do you do with it? I had someone tell me to use the oil for nerve pain. I haven't yet
@@tiffanyshanley1419 Mostly I have burned it. The smell is heavenly. But it has medicinal qualities, too, especially for the lungs. I've also used it with a wax warmer. I added a little oil to the warming plate and placed various resins in the oil. I've chewed it, too. A tiny bit of the resin is not only medicinal, but it tastes pretty good, too.
I'm not a doctor, though. And I don't recommend any of this without consulting a medical professional first.
and i'm sure the farmers are getting pennies on the dollar.
Welcome to capitalism buddy
Probably but it only cost 1 dollar a day to live. Fake virtue is rampant these days
once you buy the raw frankincense from the farmers you need to do stuff to it which costs money
@@Shrek_Has_Covid19 any shipment and processing costs STILL don't justify the insanely low price farmers make from frankincense. That's the whole point of this conversation idiot, that the farmers are getting pennies while the middle men and sellers get like 99% of the profit because they exploit the farmers.
@@theepicsealshow123now look up what happened to the farmers of Soviet Russia and China during the great leap forward.
A part two would also be great about how we have to cut the trees to get this sap and the impossibility of keeping up with this market due to how it affects the trees and their special climate needs. I guess that's why it's valued so high, because it's limited...it's a lot like the Maple Tree process only those trees can be planted in more areas. So these villages are key. That could support their villages alone if this was organized right and sustainably....it could become a win win.
Crazy the locals can’t get their own high grade 😢
Are they planning on Investing part of the 160M back into the Community to better their lives? We have to start making these Leach Companies accountable!
Or just don't buy it and start your own company.
People always waiting for others to do something...
@@captnwinkleYou're so right. Why don't the poor farmers start their own company with the factories and international logistics? It's so easy to make processing facilities and reach international markets that anyone could do it.
@@axelmaldonado2642 I was directing it nore to morons as YOU may understand, that all they do is be keyboard warriors and virtue signal but don't even have a decent college degree other than Lesbian Dance Theory.
Also, why haven't the farmers been able to control and sell the produce in their backyards?
Those who work hard, make initiatives, innovate and act, are the ones who succeed. But you're probably a sad socialist
@@captnwinkleand when that happens guess who loses the most... The farmers
Nooooope
I would really really love a dedicated video about finding out if a garment company is exploiting its workers and maybe even a step further back and find out where the material is coming from and are those workers being paid.
If you own a smartphone or and diamonds then be quiet. The amount of fake virtue in these comments is absolutely insane
Its worth 6k... Then why arent those workers richer? Someone needs to go over there and introduce a union to them
Me investing in -mir- myrrh before it goes to the moon
Okay I just commented what company is on the exchange so I can get in on this 😂
I don't think MIR is going to the moon, it disintegrated in the atmosphere a long time ago
It’s Myrrh. Unless this is an inside joke I know nothing about lol
@@lombardo141 I could explain it but I lost so much money on Myrrh Coin, I can't bring myself to talk about it.
What’s MIR?
Frankincense essential oil... truly a gift fit for a King.✝️
In biblical days it would have taken weeks/months to go from Middle East to Africa. It was more precious than gold.
Don’t spill that stuff! I had a church supply store and broke a dozen small vials of that stuff by accident, and my stock room smelled like a Superfund site for months afterwards.
I'm VERY selective where i buy my ess oils. The company i choose to buy from are careful how & where they're sourced from & invest into the community they come from, which is why i chose them.
Please share the name of the company that you use.
@@gingergarrett2995 The ES company i choose to use is DoTerra
I just want to know the company that's on the stock exchange so I can get my placement 😂
Probably a family business
Roreal
Bruh can you invest in family businesses instead of lining your own goddam pockets
@@MrSur512and Multi Level Marketing (pyramid) companies
@@lizxu322apart from morality, nothing forces somebody to not choose whats best for them.
As an American I want to thank each person of every nation that toils to feed your family and I understand the harsh ways in which you live under. Yet you still keep giving the world an ancient piece of your nation to us all
I love how humanity and the people say to give the farmers better pay but it never happens :(
Because capitalism
These people are incredibly dangerous and what they preach is murderous. At every step of the process people freely and gladly exchange because it enriches both parties. What the do-gooders suggest replaces all that with taking at the point of a gun.
It's because it's very hard to make it happen. In democratic countries, corporations will lobby and/or buy politicians so they don't pass laws that protect workers and pass laws that benefit the corporations.
In countries where democracy is failing or doesn't exist, the leadership often see a part of their profits, so abusing workers is in their interest.
Don't get me wrong: it's possible to change things, but it requires for many of those who are being abused to organise and work together. Which is hard when most have to work at least 40 hours a week.
The farmers negotiate their pay based on market values. The sellers just take advantage of idiots who over pay.
@Dekubud you act like working 40 hours a week is bad. That's nothing. That's actually the easier life. Your entitlement is glaring
Ah yes, another scarce resource boom. Sure to be great for the longevity of the product, for the environment, and for the locals producing it. Meanwhile, I'm sure high quality studies have been and are being conducted as to the efficacy of its uses.
It's been around for thousands of years and is considered important to a lot of religions, which is why it still exists.
@@edluke3415 I understand it's been around for thousands of years, but the video clearly says that it has been increasing in production in recent years.
@@romansparky it's tree sap, they'll preserve the trees and plant more, especially if it's a cash crop like cotton or tobacco
@@edluke3415 taking up more land and resources to grow and harvest, once again for an industry that is largely medical theatrics with only a small hint of efficacy. It clearly isn't religious groups that have traditionally used it that are causing the increase of production.
@@romansparkyland for trees sounds good to me
Great info from this video💛
I have a bottle of frankincense essential oil and it's stunning.
I don’t mean to sound pedantic, I’m genuinely curious: what is this stuff for exactly?
It's homeopathic shit
@@rodrigovillegas2263 it gets used as a smell-good because it, ah, smells good. There are also medicinal properties.
@@rodrigovillegas2263 You can chew it - it tastes vile, or at best, an acquired taste but, mainly, it is burned. I think it's normally in the mix when burned in Catholic churches with other aromatics.
@@rodrigovillegas2263It is a perfume.
History just repeated itself, back then essential oils from various flower also expensive because some flowers need exact temperature and good soil to flourish
Frankincense works like a miracle for arthritic hands.
Those wise men knew what Jesus was going to need ❤️🙏🏽
I love Frankincense oil. My dog got bit by a bug & I didn't notice unti I saw an area on the side of his face where his fur was stiff. Within a couple of days his fur
& the skin started falling off. I grabbed my oil & started putting it on the area. Within a couple of weeks his fur started growing back. Now there is no scar & all the fur is back.
It’s amazing this mining of Frankincense has been done by Ethiopian women from the beginning of time. They tried saying it wasn’t from Africa but it always lead back to Ethiopia.
Just a PSA, these things should really just be called essence oil. Like the essence of a particular plant.
The human body would do just fine without them
I'm definitely bought some of that low-grade frankincense 😞
The worst part is is most people just burn it up in diffusers. That's been the biggest money market tool for essential oil companies making money and everyone having a use for decades.
Frankincense is becoming rare in many places due to over harvesting and lack of natural regeneration so we need to start thinking about alternatives if we want this medicinal resin to be available in the coming decades! Surprised they didn’t mention this…
I see you melanin, the original & my ancestors ❤
These farmers need to stand together and not sale this to their colonizers for cheap. They are making tons of money and paying these hard working folks scraps. Stand up people and demand your value 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I'm glad that people commented about the workers pay. I will be sure to only buy fair trade Frankincense oil from now on.
Why is it called "essential" when its just optional to use it or not 🤔
Here essential doesn't mean necessity but essential here means essence or smell of the raw material in the oil so it's is called oil which has essence or essential oil
Look it up, takes seconds🙂
This is interesting to know. I love frankincense and Myrrh anything
I use the oil in a homemade facial toner. Works better than any product i have ever bought at the store. It has helped my pores and uneven coloring. I hope that the farmers and workers get paid well and not just the big corporations
They need to start giving more money to the farmers and the people who are working to process this
Shutran is the greatest scent ive ever smelled
Love! One of my favorites, along with myrrh, and lavender.. ❤
I really like Reposition and Swap, I hope having those actions will help my players to think in a bit more strategic fashion
Note that in this story, no mention was made of the country or people who process this commodity
So what you're saying is.... Being a sca-- *ehem, alternative Medicine supplier is about to be Lit.
Can see the workers dont get the money
do you expect the workers from possibly rural areas get a good share
Only if they are in the 'Fairtrade International' program.
They don't need much either. If you live in a place where you can live on a few dollars a week, you won't make very much money. Send them some of your money
@@Roosters-rants1977 you live on a few dollars a week for a year then comment again
@@donniesnyman2517different country, currency has different buying power
Price: 6,000 dollars per liter
Workers salary: 5-8 dollars a day
Those who control it's market are pushing this video to create awareness and value for it right now 😂
This my favorite roller oil scent for fall
This is why African leaders now refuse to export raw materials but demand processing be done in Africa.
1 oz of that stuff is approximately $200
It works so well
Murica: OIL!?!?
So this means that the farmers and people who process it make that money, right???
INTERESTING INFO
THANK YOU 😊
Like others are saying, those who are selling it, are not paying the farmers and workers properly! So unfair!
dōTERRA pays their farmers very well, which is one of the reasons their oils are costly. They only use Grade 1.
I love Frankincense and Myrrh combined
Essential oils are scams and these farmer need to be payed more
Essential oils are not a scam, the medical claims are. Or are you demanding scammers be paid more?
@@UlshaRSthere is a published study on the affect frankincense has on depression
"Essential oils are scams" 😂
Try a little lavender bro, helps you calm down 😊
Your second statement is much more reasonable though !
@@UlshaRS Essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts, basically pure volatile organic chemicals. The kind say a drug company would single out one and put it in a drug. You know how many drugs have been made... There is nothing scam about it. There are countless scientific papers and medical papers on them. The scam is someone making up a medical claim, vs a evidence based medical claim. They've been considered a drug in France for a long time now.
They aren't actually farming frankincense. It is produced by wild trees and harvested by anyone willing to spend the time doing it.
The people in these comments are clueless , Frankincense is and always was very rare , ( Remember in the iBble where it said that the Three Wise Men brought gifts of Gold Frankincense and Myrrh ? )
No people are dumb and non religious now days sadly..
you are completely right though, one of the wise men literally brought this to baby Jesus!
@@Mrs.Boudreaux And sadly you're also quite right , These people obviously don't know anything about Christianity and their minds are waste products of the lies and propaganda of liberalism and the Biden administration.
How can give directly to the farmers when the overseers intervene?
I know this is a spice mankind has been using for millennia, and we used to use it in burial preparation, but what do we use for this for these days? And does it actually smell that good?
I DID NOT KNOW THIS.😱😱 I ALWAYS WONDER HOW ITS MADE. THANK YOU! I HOPE THE HARDWORKING HUMANS ARE GETTING GOOD PAY💵💵
Love the smell of frankensense
Manufacturers are not being paid enough only the front sellers are making all the money
So the Frankincense essential oil that I buy at my local store for $10 is questionable?
In its purest form it cost up to $6000. What am I getting for $10?
I enjoy the essential oil as a perfume oil.
Profit is the precise measure of how much the workers were underpaid.
So will myrrh have a price hike or is it still gold standard
Where is the most trustworthy source to purchase pure Frankencinse oil ?
Gotta love how with all commodities, the people of the nation producing it always get the shit end of the stick… for example, in Russia and U.S., top producers of oil, gas prices are high af but foreign nations can buy it cheaper than we can lol… same thing for many other things…
Thats what im told in Colombia all the best coffee is exported leftovers for Colombians
the other name for it is myrrah which is derived from the Arabic word "Murah" = sour
Frankincense is different from myrrh. They are both aromatic resins though.
Its grow In Sudan and Ethiopia desert
Gold 📈🚀
Frankincense 📈🚀
Myrrh up next
How much are the people paid that pick, sift and package this?
Because of Frankincense oil, I haven't had any need for my anxiety medication. This liquid gold is a miracle for me.
How do you use your oil?
@sandrahbradley1511 I use one drop of frankincense oil, undiluted, under the tongue for 30 seconds. Then I swallow. Afterward, I usually drink a glass of water while swishing the water in my mouth to get the oils off my tongue and into my stomach. I also make sure my Essential Oils have nutritional facts on them and are edible if possible.
Always the grass roots are the least benefited by this 😢
More than likely, they get the benefits from the lower grades and are happy to sell the higher grade to idiots who are willing to over pay. They have a choice on what to keep or sell.
beautiful
GOD given and still some people dont know what it is ? But how you can get ut pure form?😮.
This is a cool channel.
Is that a true price, or inflation adjusted?
33.8 ounces per 1 liter. That's $177 per ounce😮 Where can someone purchase pure oil ? What is these people correct and complete process to make oil.
Everytime I heard, Frankenstein 😂
Hard working people. Pay them better and get rid of the middle men.
I feel sad that the highest quality isn’t consumed by the people who walk on the very the ground the resin grows in!!
May there be balance
I love the smell of frankincense
You know who I heard loves frankinsence? Baby Jesus... We should all kick in and take him some.
Awesome that they make those kinda sales. Shitty that the people actually making the stuff get next to nothing for the work to make it. Never understood (but do understand)why the sellers don't even just up the payment price even a little to the makers... Wouldnt even make close to a dent in their profits... I feel like all economy's would start to boom if this kinda stuff would get a much more fair price to the makers...
Lots of comments on efficacy. Maybe there are medical claims; I don't know. But it's incense, if it smells good, and is not harmful, thats all that's needed, right?
I still don’t know what this product is or is used for yet I’ve heard about it before my elementary school days.
I love frankensense
Nearly as expensive as printer ink!
They're going to generate over $406! Amazing, lol
It's always been precious. That is why the 3 wise men brought it to Jesus as one of 3 gifts, at the news of His birth. Gold, frankinsence, & myrrh. The 2 oils were used to dress the dead along with spices. No embalming in biblical times. We all know what gold is.
That's baby Jesus oil, for him exclusively 😂
Thanks
I went Oman and got a kilo of the grade A. My house smells like Heaven.
