Description
Loading cacao at village seaside to take to cargo boat for loading and export. Copra, dried coconut meat, remains an important cash crop for Mewun. It is harvested, smoke-dried, rammed into large burlap bags, and then hauled--for the most part manually--to the sea for export. When the Mewun compare this with the work of new government and office employees, they resent the differences between them. One man insisted that government officers don't work, they just eat by using their pencils.
