Workers are carrying out the drying process of snake skins at one of the snake collector locations in Kertasura village, Cirebon, West Java, on May 31, 2024. Kertasura is a village known as the largest supplier of snake skin commodities in Indonesia, both to meet the domestic market and exports with a production capacity of hundreds of pieces of snake skin a day, which are later used as raw material to make fashion products such as wallets, bags, shoes, and clothing. They are getting these snakes from snake seekers in the wild and valuing them at IDR 6,000 (US$ 0.37) - IDR 10,000 (US$ 0.62) per kilogram. However, amidst the shine of this business, there are pros and cons among the wider community. The high rate of snake skin production is leading to massive snake hunting, which is sparking concerns from a number of groups about the preservation of snakes in the wild, especially environmental activists, considering that snakes are one of the top animals in the food chain cycle. The loss of snakes can disrupt the balance of the ecosystem in an area. But on the other hand, the existence of the snake skin supply industry is opening up employment opportunities for the local community.

A man with a metal detector wanders the beach looking for coins in the Mediterranean port of Limassol. Cyprus, Friday, July 22, 2022. Inflation, according to the forecasts of the Central Bank, will increase significantly in 2022 - up to 7% from 2.3% in 2021. The main downside risks to GDP are related to the possibility of a larger-than-expected negative impact on exports of services from events in Ukraine. Risks are also associated with higher-than-expected prices for key commodities and products.

Empty shelves which once held bags or rice of at an Indian grocery store in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on July 27, 2023. Shortages of non-basmati rice caused by rains and drought in rice-producing regions of India have sent prices soaring in the country. Last week the Indian government decided to ban exports of the rice to ensure their domestic supply. India's decision to ban the export of non-basmati rice has led to consumers panic-buying and stockpiling Indian rice around the world, driving up prices in the process. In Canada, the U.S. and abroad, reports of panic-buying are flourishing on social media, with stores that cater to South Asian communities implementing caps on the amount that any customer can buy, and adjusting prices.
