Ivory Coast's bittersweet cocoa industry

Описание

Although chocolate is a multi-billion dollar industry, cocoa farmers in the Ivory Coast, a West African country that supplies almost half of the world's cocoa beans, are struggling to make ends meet. They earn just a few dollars a day. There are fears that if the Ivorian government does not fulfill its promises to reform the industry and farmers do not start making a profit soon, they will abandon their crops, pushing up chocolate prices around the world.
