Is Africa getting enough for its cocoa?
Most of the world鈥檚 cocoa comes from West Africa, but farmers there complain they鈥檙e not getting enough for their crops. Why is that? And who鈥檚 making the big bucks then?
West Africa is the home of cocoa.
Roughly 60 per cent of the world鈥檚 cocoa supply comes from Ghana and Ivory Coast.
But farmers there complain they鈥檙e 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鈥檚 the money going? And how can the farmers get a larger slice of the (chocolate) cake?
