@culturefx2544

This is one of many industries where Western countries design and control the market in turn ensuring all the profit goes to the top of the pyramid, on the opposite end those at the bottom are literally used for cheap to free labor

@igkslife

I don't mind the idea of paying more for chocolate if it helps the cocoa farmers across the world.

@casbalond7676

It's about time

@bensegiii7580

2$ a day is so expensive than buying air. Seems slavery business getting more cost. I still believe coco grow in Europe because mandela effect.

@stormtrooper74

Price floors ONLY hurt low-income farmers.

Be actually progressive; be a capitalist.

And then we get news of “chocolate is becoming more expensive for end consumers, because of the price hike in the producing countries!” – while that is only partially true.
Chocolate doesn’t need to become more expensive, as it is in fact just a re-distribution of profits within the industry.

@tmhtoo6563

Yes, but are they passing those increases in prices on to the farmers?

I’ve stopped buying cocoa and coffee that aren’t “fair trade”, and I am not ‘woke’ – I simply understand that wages have flatlined and/or decreased while costs to me for my staples and household goods along with corporate profits have continually gone up these past several years.

@williamweigt7632

Comparing the chocolate-maker’s SALES is deliberately misleading. “Sales” is always larger than a “profit”. Accounting 101, for all those “college-educated” idiots, out there.

@analuisatorres1562

ABERRANT PAY…

@mrscottygreenwood

When did they start paying em a decent wage last week ??

@SuperVideoman2012

Reminds me of that clip where they gave the coco farmers chocolate and they had no clue what it even was.
Idk if its still up but its been stuck in my brain for like 10 years now.

@ayushkumar-bg1xf

these 2 country should ban export of cocoa to west , just ask company to manufacture it inside country

@head85

Price floor..already including premium??? Am I the only one seeing the redundancy?🤔

@user-xc9sv5hk2d

Not going to workers going to owners of farms let’s be real obviously great idea in theory, doesn’t cost $$$$$$ for rent or food there either cost of living different

@komolkovathana8568

(20/0.28)=(500/7)= 70 times the Chocolate Business Value worth over the Raw material (Cocoa) price. It's included much more ingredients of MILK, HONEY/Syrup or Almonds etc. that must be added. Not to mention packaging & (cooled) storages, Marketing & Transport to each every nation & town in the world.. it's retailed value anyway.. like comparing the price of a Brick to a luxury Condo/Apartment, fully equipped with Decoration & furniture. Curtained walls & chandelier.

@MrGravylegs

These farmers should be living well, NOT poverty!! Especially if their customers are some of the wealthiest people in the f-ing world!!

@marystrube4694

Watch your back guys , farmers would suffer first if synthetica were ever made.

@omuntu3363

STOO EXPORTING THE BEANS and lets process chocolate domestically. Let Europe and N. America grow their own cocoa beans in green houses in their communitites using white labour!!!

@Shozb0t

The way to improve the income of the farmers is to introduce modern farming methods. When an advanced farmer can do the job of 100 obsolete farmers, he will get paid much more.

@TheGreatAlkebulan

When you vote for puppets and fools into office that is the result

Better business model

@stephen6640

I am a capitolist however, kudos to Ghana and the Ivory coast.
Your most important asset in production is your people.

@dennismarfo3536

You know you cannot always blame big corporations for plight of cocoa farmers .
In Ghana, the price government pays for cocoa beans from farmers doesn't make it like it cares either.

@TeenUnivers

JazakAllah

@jred7

Price fixing is never a good idea. It's going to hurt them in the long run.

@bruceweirich3733

Welcome to CAPITALISM! Hurrah

@alan_clough

They should make their own chochlate manufacturing plant and compete internationally, they made more money and save the rest of us money.

@davejohns6694

Farmers all over the planet get shafted, I grew up on a farm so I know.

@Juandinggong

It’s all those top management fat cats VP’s who make all the money!!

@nerdlingeeksly5192

From the bottom up all those struggling to make a fair wage should have their prices go up, if things get more expensive then either the pressure will create new methods to reduce costs or we simply consume less non-nessecities.
