Stage 10: Selling in shops
What are the problems cocoa farmers face?
Price of cocoa keeps going up
and down on the world market = no long term security
Very low pay: farmers only
receive a fraction of the price paid
for each chocolate bar
Farming equipment,
food, medicine etc are very expensive
Scales are often ‘fixed’
to show a higher reading
than is true
Changing to produce other
crops is difficult
Children often have to work to
bring in extra income for
farming families
Machetes and pesticides can
be very dangerous.
How does Fairtrade help?
A minimum price
The “Fairtrade Premium”
Long term contracts
Able to borrow money safely
Working together in
“cooperatives”
Better working conditions
Protects the environment
No child labour
"Fairtrade is good to the farmer and makes us
happy. We would like to sell more cocoa to Fairtrade so more farmers can taste a
better life."Comfort Kwaasibea, cocoa farmer.
“We can proudly take good care of ourselves and our
children... because of Fairtrade we can stand on our own because we are
self sufficient.”
Akua Gyamfua, cocoa farmer and stall holder.
