Cargill 100 billion dollars Cocoa industry and corruption, while the farmers and their children live in poverty for less than a euro a day... We see how the trickle down theory on finance doesn't work. It's about shareholders'profits, not about the well-being of people. Fair Trade is just their marketing strategy and the environment and people suffer.

[@katniss1968]

There is NO reason why ANY African country should have its people living in poverty. Africa is a wealthy continent and full of industry. However corruption and exploitation of its own people by their governments continues to foster the lack of education and poverty. Do you really think a hungry man who has a hungry family to look after is going to care about the deforestation? What the Japanese, British, French and other nationalities have done and are continuing to do to the continent of Africa and its peoples is a damn shame.

it works like this. masons convince the people they don't exist. everyone is magically relieved of responsibility for all of their actions in life. pick a fight with a masonic lodge, and find out how real they are, everywhere.

First of all, Africa is a continent, not a country. It is not even an alliance of countries. It is a continent. Thank you. Secondly, the countries in Africa are now all free of colonialism. African nations do this to THEMSELVES. Period. That is all. We do not need you to coddle us. We are capable of influencing our own destiny.

Unfortunately, this kind of child exploitation in most countries across the world is what is keeping the high demand of raw materials demanded by large corporations in the developed world. Most plantation farms, textile, electronic industries, name it, cheap child labour and unskilled labour force is what dominates the current globalisation.

That's really tragic and heart touching reality for those 3rd world country whose population has a great contribution to build up today's 1st world giant economy.

We're also suffering.

wherever there is money there is corruption. The corps avoid being directly tied to labor issues so they pay the local officials or middleman to handle it. They can't do it alone.

All large scale business people are strategic in their ways. For someone to think that these companies really care about what happens to the cocoa farmers is far out of reach.

That father’s story broke my heart. He said “we’re all exhausted. We are broken” that’s so fucked up. And for me to then 2-3 bucks to the corporation that is responsible for this for their profit absolutely not I’m not doing it anymore. They get paid pennies on the dollar and these corporate CEOs and other Executive officers are millionaires. Making millions off the backs of children who are trafficked by their own parents and live a life of squalor with little or nothing to eat and get no formal education all while working with dangerous instruments and carcinogenic chemicals. Meanwhile the corporate greedy SOBs live in their mansions big houses can afford to send their children to the best schools and live off the backs of slaves. Nothing has changed. It’s just packaged differently.

Why did Ivory coast Goverment not take any action against deforestation?Chocolate Industry wants Cocoa.Every industry has one intention that how they gets raw material in a lower price.If this industry gives more price on cocoa,it does not mean that the labours of cocoa get excess wages.This is the complete issue of government of cocoa producing countries.

[@tourdhorizon97]

[@flamani54]

The cocoa farms' workers' fate is unbearable but this is not the right way to look a the situation. According to Customary Law, the workers are strangers. This means that they cannot lay claim on a piece of land around that area. The workers themselves would apply the same rules to foreigners coming to their parts of West Africa. Africans are different from each other. The color of the skin should not mask the realities of the traditional rules they still live by. I do not think the Ivory Coast has managed yet to implement land reforms.
