Let Us Grow Areca Nuts / Mama Pinang
-
0:05 - 0:09In Keerom, farmers grow areca nuts,
(pinang) but it is hard to sell them. -
0:09 - 0:13In Wamena, people love to chew pinang,
but do not grow the trees. -
0:13 - 0:20Given this situation, we saw a chance to
link mama-mama (Papuan women) -
0:20 - 0:23in Keerom who have pinang trees,
-
0:23 - 0:27with mama-mama who sell them on
the streets in Wamena. -
0:28 - 0:32Let's Sell Pinang
-
0:44 - 0:50We can buy them from the Butonese
merchants, -
0:50 - 0:56but we don't make any profit.
-
0:56 - 0:57How much are these pinang?
-
0:57 - 1:005,000 (rupiah).
-
1:01 - 1:06Sometimes I buy it from the Butonese.
I get one kilogram for 70,000 (rupiah). -
1:06 - 1:11But for the past several days, it was
for 65,000 (rupiah). -
1:15 - 1:21After I buy them, I display them here
from morning until night. -
1:21 - 1:26At night, up until 8 or 9pm.
-
1:26 - 1:30Sometimes if these nuts aren't sold,
I bring them back home. -
1:34 - 1:38They sell pinang in the small stores
too, so it's hard to compete. -
1:38 - 1:44In that store, they sell kerosene,
cooking oil and other stuff too. -
1:44 - 1:46So we mama-mama (Papuan women),
what can we do? -
1:46 - 1:48We're not into starting a conflict
with them. No! -
1:48 - 1:51But how do we empower the
Papuan women? -
1:51 - 1:55If they don't have enough money to
begin with, we help them to get it. -
1:55 - 1:59They can potentially become agents
(distributors) for buying. -
1:59 - 2:05Mama-mama who have pinang trees can
also potentially become distributors. -
2:05 - 2:08It is positive competition.
-
2:08 - 2:14We faced obstacles but the Father
from YTHP opened a business for us. -
2:14 - 2:18He is very kind. His efforts have
opened doors for us. -
2:18 - 2:24So we think this (business) could
make our lives better and happier. -
2:25 - 2:28Yayasan Teratai Hati Papua (Teratai
Hati Papua Foundation) assists us now. -
2:29 - 2:31Their help enables us.
-
2:31 - 2:33We can sell pinang but it's not like
before. -
2:35 - 2:38YTHP helps us to buy two kilograms
of pinang. -
2:39 - 2:43We can buy three kilograms.
It depends on us. -
2:43 - 2:46But if we want to buy more than two
kilograms, we must pay for it ourselves. -
2:46 - 2:51So, the price of pinang can increase, but
it's not a problem if it goes up or down. -
2:52 - 2:54We've set our price. It's fixed.
-
2:55 - 3:02We take one kilogram. If we sell it all,
we get 140,000, 150,000 rupiah. -
3:02 - 3:05From that we can give 70,000 rupiah
back. -
3:12 - 3:17So we are asking the government,
please take care of us. -
3:17 - 3:20Papuan women can only sell small items.
-
3:20 - 3:22Don't give permission to the big merchants
(to sell pinang). -
3:22 - 3:27They should only permit the big merchants
to sell goods other than pinang. -
3:27 - 3:31Don't put small tables outside the store
and sell onions, pinang. -
3:31 - 3:33Give that chance to the Papuan women.
-
3:33 - 3:35The Papuan women should sell these items
and not the stores. -
3:35 - 3:37Take pity on them.
