Save Areca Nuts

  • 0:58 - 1:02
    I want to inform to all of us
  • 1:02 - 1:07
    We all of Papuan eat areca nuts
  • 1:07 - 1:13
    But at this time we are not Papuans who plant it there are others
  • 1:13 - 1:15
    And we buy it from them
  • 1:15 - 1:19
    even though we have a large amount of land, it cannot be used for areca nuts planting itself
  • 1:19 - 1:22
    to be consumed
  • 1:22 - 1:26
    But we use money to buy the areca nuts more often
  • 1:26 - 1:31
    Even though we have land, why don't we plant it ourselves
  • 1:31 - 1:35
    So I invited friends who like to eat areca nuts
  • 1:37 - 1:42
    If we have unoccupied land, we can use it to plant areca nuts itself
  • 1:42 - 1:46
    So that we no longer need to spend money to buy areca nuts and the areca
  • 1:48 - 1:52
    After eating areca nuts it feels fresh
  • 1:52 - 2:01
    And there are 2 kinds of betel leaves which are smooth leaves and wide leaves (fragrant betel leaves)
  • 2:02 - 2:07
    Fragrant betel which if eaten causes heat to the lips
  • 2:07 - 2:11
    It doesn't feel like the betel tree is big
  • 2:11 - 2:15
    It used to be young now that suddenly someone has been fruitful and bargained
  • 2:15 - 2:19
    I usually give a price of Rp.50,000
  • 2:20 - 2:24
    IDR 50,000 is for one group and it doesn't matter if they want to sell retail on the market
  • 2:24 - 2:28
    But don't sell the location of the land
  • 2:28 - 2:30
    If one location is sold then we will no longer benefit
  • 2:30 - 2:36
    We have worked but we did not get results
  • 2:36 - 2:43
    Besides having to plant ourselves, we also have to be smart to read the market situation
  • 2:48 - 2:55
    I usually sell this tree about IDR 50,000
  • 2:55 - 3:01
    Usually sold from 3 to 4 bunches
  • 3:01 - 3:09
    But if we have large land, don't sell it to someone else
  • 3:11 - 3:15
    We have to plant it ourselves because later we can enjoy the results ourselves
  • 3:15 - 3:20
    From the soil left empty, not used and useless
  • 3:20 - 3:24
    If we ensure that the land has its own value for us
  • 3:24 - 3:32
    So, I want to appeal to all of us
  • 3:32 - 3:37
    I speak based on experience
  • 3:37 - 3:45
    I feel that associating with negative things is not profitable
  • 3:45 - 3:51
    We better focus on taking care of the family because the future of the Papuan generation is in us
  • 3:51 - 3:57
    So don't waste time because time is gold
  • 3:57 - 4:01
    Tomorrow when we don't do something, no one will remember us
  • 4:01 - 4:06
    Because we never do the best for others
  • 4:06 - 4:09
    so this is just one example for all of us
  • 4:09 - 4:15
    That, although a little but this is very useful for people who will follow
  • 4:15 - 4:18
    This is when the wisdom is quite extraordinary
  • 4:18 - 4:23
    That there are positive things we can take
  • 4:33 - 4:39
    For us marines when we wake up in the morning we keep eating areca nuts
  • 4:39 - 4:44
    Even the absorption for us, especially the areca nut
  • 4:44 - 4:54
    Because after eating betel nuts feel fresher, because we are used to eating areca nuts
  • 4:54 - 5:00
    I started planting in the morning before leaving for work
  • 5:00 - 5:07
    Because I work as a village secretary
  • 5:07 - 5:12
    Before I left for work I took the time to plant first
  • 5:12 - 5:18
    When I was working, I still worked, afternoon rested, if there was an afternoon when I returned to plant
  • 5:18 - 5:26
    This is my busy life rather than just sitting and not having a busy life, I'd better use this empty land
  • 5:26 - 5:31
    I want to appeal to my village officials
  • 5:31 - 5:36
    We don't just tell people to work
  • 5:36 - 5:44
    But we must set an example so that they will imitate us
  • 6:06 - 6:10
    This plant is very useful for me
  • 6:10 - 6:15
    Can be used to buy necessities
  • 6:15 - 6:26
    Like buying cigarettes, sugar, I get coffee from the results of this plant
  • 6:26 - 6:30
    Especially for schoolchildren's snacks
  • 6:30 - 6:45
    When children ask for IDR 5,000 to IDR 10,000 for snacks or notebook purposes
  • 6:45 - 6:49
    this is an initiative of my own
  • 6:49 - 6:56
    That when young people their needs are not too much
  • 6:56 - 7:03
    But when they were in middle school, they even went to college
  • 7:03 - 7:09
    The need must be very much
  • 7:09 - 7:13
    So to anticipate this expenditure
  • 7:13 - 7:17
    I plant like this so that later I can help school
  • 7:17 - 7:20
    and teaching and learning activities
  • 7:20 - 7:25
    To build a community, we must build possible strengths in agriculture
  • 7:25 - 7:33
    Now we can see that sending our children to school always clashes with finance
  • 7:33 - 7:36
    So one possible solution is to plant like this
  • 7:36 - 7:45
    Areca Nuts always found in the market
  • 7:50 - 7:58
    If we see Areca betel nut does not survive because it uses too much chemical fertilizer
  • 7:58 - 8:02
    So the betel leaf is too long
  • 8:02 - 8:08
    I hope my betel from this village is not like that
  • 8:08 - 8:13
    I want to show you that with the best quality
  • 8:13 - 8:18
    Because the quality of nature here is very supportive
  • 8:22 - 8:30
    If the betel nut does not use fertilizer, the fruit is small but when eaten, the taste is full
  • 8:30 - 8:35
    While those who use chemical fertilizers, although large, people are still not satisfied and still want to add more areca nuts
  • 8:35 - 8:41
    Because betel taste uses fertilizer and is not too different
  • 8:41 - 8:45
    And I have never used this chemical fertilizer
  • 8:45 - 8:51
    So when eaten it tastes different from betel nuts which are mostly sold in markets that use fertilizer
  • 8:51 - 8:55
    Although buying lots of betel nuts but also use a lot of betel
  • 8:55 - 9:02
    But if that is without fertilizer even though the food is a little satisfied
  • 9:02 - 9:05
    Maybe the difference is there
  • 9:06 - 9:13
    I have betel nut but no areca nuts
  • 9:13 - 9:22
    I went to the place where my brother-in-law asked for betel so I could eat areca nut
  • 9:22 - 9:28
    For me to eat betel nut is an obligation because after eating betel leaves it feels very good
  • 9:28 - 9:33
    So, Papua is known to like eating areca nuts
  • 9:33 - 9:44
    Like this tooth, red lips are strong not because of the color of the lips but all because of areca nuts
  • 9:44 - 9:47
    Remember, don't just eat but we also have to plant
  • 9:47 - 9:55
    The land of Papua is a palace of love so we must really plant areca
  • 9:57 - 10:07
    If this one has just changed the tree
  • 10:07 - 10:14
    If you replace a tree like this, the newly grown of betel leaf must be tied
  • 10:14 - 10:20
    So that it grows around the tree trunk to grow neater upwards
  • 10:20 - 10:24
    If the curves are bent, each other pierces (presses)
  • 10:24 - 10:34
    If he is neat when he produces fruit, the result will be better
