I still think we need to modernize this whole process. The health and safety implications of the the present set up should be explored. Was in Adore market yesterday, will be going back today or tomorrow........this guys need collaboration from all sectors to expand the market even further.
It's not safe because they did try to mordenize it with synthetic dyes. And guess why they changed for it ? Less expensive, hope to earn their lives with it. They don't need another intervention from white "savers". The best thing that could happen to them is to find a way to get back to natural dyes, and to find customers for it. But everybody wants everything cheap, nobody wants to pays for quality and know-how. That's why they work without safe products.
