A farmer gouge coconut seeds to make copra in Sibedi Village, Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia on January 25, 2021. Farmers in the region are reselling their coconuts in the form of copra after the copra price has risen again from IDR 3,500 to an average of IDR 11,400 per kilogram since the beginning of 2021. Previously, farmers sold their coconut in the form of raw seeds because the price was more profitable for Rp3,500 per seed. Indonesia is one of the world's coconut producing countries. Most of the coconut is used to support domestic production, especially coconut oil. In the last decade, the role of coconut has been displaced by the massively cultivated oil palm because it has a higher economic value. Even so, the massive exploitation of oil palm has drawn protests from environmental agencies because it is considered less friendly to environmental sustainability and tends to marginalize local communities.

A worker controls production in the factory Kirishima Shuzo manufacturer of shochu made from sweet potatoes in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan. Kirishima Shuzo, with its head office in Miyazaki and known for its shochu made using sweet potatoes (satsuma-imo), is the top shochu maker in Japan, with the highest sales in the country. Kirishima Shuzo makes 160,000 bottles (each bottle being 1.8 liters) of shochu every day, using 425 tons of sweet potatoes. The potato scraps and shochu lees left over from that process are not discarded, and are instead used to produce biogas through methane fermentation. As a whole, the company produces approximately 34,000 square meters of biogas per day (enough to cover the electricity consumption of 22,000 average households). This biogas is then used to heat the boilers used in the process of making shochu. The company also uses the biogas to generate electricity, producing enough for the consumption costs of about 2,400 households per day, and provides that electricity to a power company. The dregs left over after biogas production are made into fertilizer for the fields where the sweet potatoes used to make the shochu are grown. In this way, Kirishima Shuzo has incorporated a resource cycle into their shochu production. They also take in the leftovers from shochu production of other producers in the area to convert into biogas. With the value of sake exports in 2018 rising to 22.2 billion yen, triple what it was ten years ago and its highest level yet, sake continues to be popular overseas. However, shochu (“distilled liquor”) is actually drunk more often in Japan than sake (“brewed liquor”). For the fiscal year of 2017, the domestic consumption of sake was 556,000 kiloliters, while the consumption of shochu was nearly 50% more, at 816,000 kiloliters. The government and businesses have been working together to promote exports of shochu in order to follow up on the popularity of sake.

A view of destroyed and abandoned homes in almost depopulated Bulgarian village of Siv kladenetc, located in south Bulgaria, just few hundred meters of Bulgarian - Greek border. The village was depopulated a few years ago because of socio-economic situation in the country and region then. Bulgaria has the lowest average salary in the EU - 575 Euro, the lowest wage - 260 Euro and the smallest average pension - 190 Euro. The result of that values is that more than 40 per cent of Bulgarians are at risk of poverty and social exclusion. The country is also leader in the prevalence of corruption that exhaust and discourages buisness and repels foreign investors. Over 570 Bulgarian villages have no population or less than ten inhabitants and in the 164 villages there are no inhabitants, according to the National statistical institute, as of the December 31, 2018. Because of demographic crisis over the last 17 years the closed schools are 1084. Photo by: /Impact Press Group/NurPhoto
