Why Cloves Are So Expensive | So Expensive

#Cloves
In trees up to 50 feet tall, harvesters carefully handpick clove buds. When exported, less than half a pound of these dried cloves costs $30. But as they focus on keeping their balance, harvesters must also be careful not to break the buds. If they do, the value of the clove drops significantly. And that's just where the risk begins. To harvest cloves correctly, workers put their lives on the line. So what makes cloves worth the risks? And why are they so expensive?

Ah yes, Franklin Roosevelt, famous clove dealer. The absolute cheek and audacity. These people paid this guy for an interview and he punked them like that? No respect.

You know, learning that there’s a man named Franklin Roosevelt, who works with another man named Charles Simpson somewhere in India right now, I can sleep better.

30 US dollars a day in India, especially in rural areas, is pretty decent pay. or at least that would have been in 2009. That would be equivalent to a starting job in the IT field at that time.
