Yaba ngumzuzwana iintsuku ezininzi, iiveki neenyanga ekwenzeni. Uvuthondaba lweprojekthi yeminyaka elithoba, isimbuku sentsebenziswano nokuzibophelela, kunye nokufezekiswa kwamaphupha. NgoLwesithathu, ngo-Oktobha 18^th, ngentsasa elandelayo Usuku lweHlabathi lweVanila lokwenyani, Iqela leLittlePod lahamba laya igadi yethu eIndonesia. Yayiyeyona nto ibalaseleyo yexesha lethu eBali.

Amava ibiyinto yonke ebesiyilindele, nayo yonke into ebesikhe siyicinge. Kodwa kwangaxeshanye, kwakungaphezulu. Kakhulu ngakumbi.

Ndintywiliselwe. Ndonwabile. Yenziwe eBali

Ukuya apho ngaloo ntsasa kwakuxakekile. I-Urban Bali inokuphefumla kakhulu-i-traffic bumper-to-bumper njengoko imoto ingena i-snail-efana ne-Ubud, ii-scooters zijikeleza macala onke kwaye inkqubela yethu icotha kangangokuba ingabonakali.

Utshintsho, lwathi lwakufika, lwaphawulwa, kwimizuzu engama-45 okanye engaphezulu ukusuka kwindawo esasisiya kuyo, umoya wawuvuleka njengoko iindlela zazicutheka, iidolophu zisiba ziidolophana ezihlala zigqagqene njengoko ukunyuka kwethu kwakuqalisa, amajiko-jiko, amajikojiko, amajikojiko, phezulu, phezulu kwiinduli.

Iindlela zaba ziindlela ezirhabaxa athe umqhubi wethu wathethathethana ngazo ngobuchule, ngelixa ekwindawo yakhe ecutheneyo ngasemva, uMade wasalatha izityalo ezishinyeneyo kunye nemithi esecaleni kwendlela yethu, esibizela kumasimi angaphambili.

Kukho i-cocoa. Kukho ikofu. Mangosteen. Durian...

Kulapho Made 2 kwaye ndaya kuzingela vanilla imidiliya, yonke loo minyaka eyadlulayo.

Ukujonga yonke indawo. Ukuzingela, ukuzingela. Ukugcina esinako.

Le yayiyi-Bali eyahlukileyo ngokupheleleyo- Yenziwe eBali.

Sasintywiliselwa, sonwabile, kwaye emva koko sasilapho...

Ukuxhawula izandla. Ukwanga. Intliziyo entle macala onke

Ilali – Yenziwe indlu ye-2. Indilisekile, kodwa iyamangalisa, enemithi ekweleenjiko nobomi bamahlathi obunyakazela kuyo yonke indawo. Imibala yayigqamile, isibhakabhaka siluhlaza, indawo enoxolo kwaye igqibelele. Yonke into ebesikhe siyicinge kunye nokunye…

Kukho ngaphezu kwesinye esenziweyo kweli bali. Ebudeni botyelelo lwethu, siye sabala ezintlanu: Yenziwe, Yenziwe, Yenziwe, Yenziwe kwaye Yenziwe. yethu Yenziwe - UGqr Made Setiawan, umfama wokuqala wevanilla weLittlePod, esadibana naye okokuqala eOxford, iimayile ezininzi ukusuka eIndonesia - Yenziwe i-1 (okanye yenziwe nje ngokulula). Kodwa i-Made 2 (echazwe ngezantsi) yindoda ekhethekileyo nayo, indoda ephambili emhlabeni, ehlala ekwanelisekeni okuzolileyo phezulu kwiinduli. Ukumanyana, ukukhuthaza kunye nokukhokela bonke abanye. Ukwenza konke oku kube yimpumelelo. Ukwenza kubonakale kulula kakhulu.

Sasingazange sidibane ngaphambili, kodwa kwigadi yaseMade encanyiswa lilanga, kwakukho ukuwolana nokuxhawulana, uncumo novuyo njengoko amagqabi emithini etshotshozela kwimpepho yetropiki. Kwakukho iti eswiti kunye nezibiliboco, kwaye nangona umqobo wolwimi wawucacileyo, kwakuhlekwa kakhulu. Inja encinci kaMade yasezela ngononophelo ezinyaweni zethu – ilumkile, kodwa inomdla. Kungekudala sonke sakhululeka kunye. Akuzange kuthathe xesha konke konke.

Kukhawuleze kwavela ukuba sifike ngaphambi kwexesha ebesilindelwe ngalo – iimoto zasekuseni e-Ubud bezingekabi mbi kangako – kwaye amanye amafama ebesesemakhayeni awo, engakunanzanga nokufika kwethu kwilali yawo ezolileyo, kuba kuthiwe masingezi kude kube yintsimbi yokuqala. Wenze u-2 watyumza inzolo, ekhupha izip kwi-scooter yakhe ukuze abasonge bonke. Akuzange kuthathe xesha lide. Omnye emva komnye, abalimi baqalisa ukufika, bezula-zula, bethelela incoko yethu, bemi ngasevarandeni, iiflops zaqalisa. Intshayelelo emva kwentshayelelo, ukubamba izandla ngakumbi kunye nokuwolana okuninzi, kunye nokuthakazelelwa okuninzi macala onke.

Kwakukho uMade noPutu. eKomang naseKadeki. Yenziwe, Wayan, Wayan kunye (enye) Yenziwe. Bekukho uPan Moyo, esamqaphela kwifilim iMade (1) esenzela yona ngoOkthobha ophelileyo, omnye uPutu nabanye ngaphandle. Kwakukho iikepusi ze-LittlePod zabo bonke-amanye amafama atshintshe iintloko zabo ezikhoyo, abanye bakhetha ukukhupha iminqwazi emibini, enye phezu komnye.

Silusapho, sisebenza kunye...

Umfama we-LittlePod vanilla, ePutu

'Silusapho, sisebenza kunye,' omnye uPutu wasixelela kwindawo yakhe kwiveranda kwaye yayingenakuphikiswa. Saziva sinobudlelwane obucacileyo, ukuziva singabanye, ukuzala kunye nokufana. Isikhumbuzo esiqhubekayo sokuba yintoni esiyenzayo kwaye kutheni. 'Ukuba besingenzi oku, bekungayi kubakho i-vanilla apha,' Kwenziwe isi-2 satsho, ukukhazimla Kwenze i-1 eguqulela kumacala omabini njengoko sasihleli kunye ngobuqabane, sikhululekile kwaye sikhululekile kwinkampani yomnye nomnye, yintoni umkhenkce ongakanani owawusele waphuka phantsi kwelanga laseBalinese. 'Singayilima i-vanilla kodwa njengamafama, sifuna ibhulorho eyomeleleyo ukuya kwintengiso,' Komang uthe ngelinye ixesha. Yayingumculo ezindlebeni zethu.

I-vanilla iyachuma. Ubomi buyatshintsha. Ukuvisisana ngokugqibeleleyo

Kuthathiwe izimuncumuncu kwagqitywa neti, sangena ehlathini sehlela efama. Eyona bit. Eyona nto ibalulekileyo. Isiphelo sayo yonke loo nto. Umntu omnye okanye ababini bahamba ngeenyawo, abanye baqhuba ngeemoto - ukuya kuthi ga kwiindlela ezicekethekileyo kunye neendledlana ezivumelekileyo, ngaphambi kokuba kufuneke iindlela ezintsonkothileyo - ngeli lixa abo bakhetha ii-scooters bafika apho kungekudala. Sityhutyha ezilalini, sidlula kumakhaya awayesiya esiba magqagala, kwakhwaza imibuliso neempondo zovuyo njengoko sasidlula bonke abantu, bejonge phandle bemangalisiwe, iintloko zabo zibonakala phezu kocingo lwegadi neendonga.

Iinduli ezisezantsi, ezijikelezayo ezigobileyo, umkhondo uya usiba mxinwa kwaye ucuthe emva koko samisa, samangaliswa kukubona i-vanilla eluhlaza eluhlaza ikhula ngeenxa zonke kuthi, inyoka ijikeleze iziqhwithi zemithi yetropikhi, le midiliya yoqobo ikhule ukusuka kwi-saplings yokuqala ukuba i-LittlePod yanceda ukubonelela amafama yonke loo minyaka edlulileyo, kunye nezityalo ezenziwe kunye neZenziwe kwi-salvage ejikeleze ilizwe.

Ukuzingela, ukuzingela, ukugcina oko babenako. Yonke into ebesiyilindele. Kakhulu ngakumbi.

Ukukhulisa ivanilla yinto endiyithandayo ukuyenza…

Umfama weLittlePod, Yenziwe

Ukuyibona apho, kuloo ndawo nangawethu amehlo. Ukuphefumla loo moya we-Balinese kunye nokuchitha elo xesha lixabisekileyo kunye. Ukumamela amafama, ukuva amabali abo kunye nokwabelana ngomdla wabo owosulelayo. 'Ndiye ndakhula i-vanilla ukususela ngo-1980, kodwa andizange ndithande oku ngaphambili,' utshilo omnye u-Made, obulela le projekthi - le ntsebenziswano inkulu ixesha elide isenziwa - ekugqibeleni uvuna umvuzo wemigudu yakhe ehlathini. 'Yinto endiyithandayo ukuyenza, ifana nokuzonwabisa, kodwa enye esihlawula kakuhle emva kwexesha lonke'. Inkqubo yobuvulindlela ye-polyculture eyenziwe nguMade iyasebenza. I-vanilla iyachuma kwaye ubomi buyatshintsha. Kule dolophana ikufutshane, wonke umntu uyaqaphela kwaye bonke bamele ukuxhamla. Iintlobo-ntlobo zezinto eziphilayo. Ihlathi. Umoya. Yonke into ingcono.

'Ndiceba ukuqala ukukhulisa i-vanilla kwiiveki ezimbalwa ezizayo,' yachaza enye iPutu – ilali eselula, okokuqala ngqa kubomi bakhe obudala, inokucinga ngekamva elizinzileyo nelinomvuzo ekulimeni nasekuvuseleleni amahlathi. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, umsebenzi ubuthetha ukuhamba ixesha elide ngaphantsi kwedekhi kwiinqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa ezihamba kude ngaphaya konxweme lwase-Bali, ubukho obunzima kwaye – ekugqibeleni – iPutu ibone ngaphambili.

'Ndifunde okuninzi kuMade nakwamanye abalimi kwaye ndifuna ukuqala ukutyala nokuchitha ixesha lam apha ehlathini,' Wongeze watsho umfana osemtsha oye waqonda ukuba angafumana yonke into ayifunayo ekhayeni lakhe ezintabeni. Ukunyamekela ihlathi, ukuvuna umvuzo. Kwakukhuthaza ukuva. Loo nto yayenza yaxabiseka yonke imigudu yethu.

Kwakukho okuninzi okunandiphekayo ngaloo mini: Yenziwe 2 i-pollinated hand-pollinated a vanilla orchid - i-eethe-operation eethe-ethe - phambi kokuba iikhokhonathi ezintsha zishukunyiswe emithini, amaqokobhe awo ashinyeneyo aqhekezwe ngemivumbo yemela enobundlobongela, kwaye amanzi aswiti ngaphakathi ayonwabele ngaphantsi kwecanopy yehlathi elishinyeneyo. Sahambahamba kumasimi abukekayo erayisi, ngeli lixa singqongile, ikofu, ikofu kunye nevanilla, imangosteen kunye nokunye kwakubonwa zidityaniswe kunye, ziphumelela ngemvisiswano egqibeleleyo. Oku - imvisiswano egqibeleleyo – iya kuba ngumxholo wohambo lwethu lonke. Konke kwakufakwe kula maxesha omlingo.

Ukuba obu budlelwane be-symbiotic-obu budlelwane phakathi kwabantu kunye nokusingqongileyo-banamandla okwenza impembelelo enjalo kunye nokuphucula ubomi obahlukeneyo kunye nokwahlukileyo, e-Bali nangaphaya, kwagxininiswa ngexesha lamava aqinisekileyo ukuba ahlala nathi sonke ngonaphakade, amafama kunye neendwendwe ngokufanayo, i-LittlePodders yonke.

Isiphelo, eyona nto ibalulekileyo, ukufezekiswa kwamaphupha...
