Cocoa alliance to lift farmers out of poverty
Ghana and the Ivory Coast are to charge a higher price for cocoa to tackle farmer poverty
Ghana and the Ivory Coast are to charge a higher price for cocoa to tackle farmer poverty. Ivorian cocoa farmer Kohi Aim茅 tells us how his life could be impacted by the move. Oliver Nieburg is an industry analyst with Lumina Intelligence, and explains why big chocolate manufacturers are supportive of the idea. And we consider the impact on chocolate buyers with Paul Young of London's Paul A Young Fine Chocolates. Also in the programme, social media site Twitter is testing new features to allow users to control who can reply to their posts, or block replies entirely, in a bid to try and prevent bad behaviour on its service. We get reaction from Dr Kate Ferguson, co-founder of Protection Approaches, a charity working to tackle all forms of violence. Plus the 大象传媒's Zoe Kleinman talks us through some of the most exciting gadgets on display at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
