Battling snakes to gather Brazil nuts

BBC World Service - Business Daily, Battling snakes to gather Brazil nuts

We're in Bolivia - the world's biggest exporter

We're in Bolivia - the world's biggest exporter.

Despite the name, Bolivia is actually the world's biggest exporter of Brazil nuts.

We travel to the hot and humid north of the country to look at the production process which can be extremely dangerous.

Plus we hear how the business of Brazil nuts is helping stop deforestation in the Amazon.

Presenter: Jane Chambers
Producers: Jane Chambers and Helen Thomas
