Africa Daily - Is Africa getting enough for its cocoa?
Download Is Africa getting enough for its cocoa?
West Africa is the home of cocoa.
Roughly 60 per cent of the world’s cocoa supply comes from Ghana and Ivory Coast.
But farmers there complain they’re not getting paid fairly for their crops.
By some estimates, many of them make less than a dollar a day from growing cocoa.
And yet, the chocolate industry makes billions and billions of dollars around the world.
So, where’s the money going? And how can the farmers get a larger slice of the (chocolate) cake?
