The workforce at the processing plant was entirely female, dozens of women organized by task in a sequential production line. At first glance it looks like typical sweatshop labor, but observing the workers for a while I noted that there was a lot of social interaction going on, and a lot of cheer. Unlike the Chinese factories we had visited last year, this seemed like a pleasant workplace.
Most of the women ignored us as we passed through the facility, but some were quite happy to have their picture taken.
