Tackling child labour in the cocoa industry

[TripleWinCoffee]

I have just become familiar with the remarkable DOI CHAANG coffee from Thailand (thank you Robert) which is not only top quality but pays the people twice Fairtrade prices and gave the Akha people 50% of the Canadian company..P.Pachecos, Calgary Alberta

I completely support the fact that we need to be prepared to pay more for fair trade chocolate, but we also need to be assured that that money is going to the farmers and not more directly into companies pockets. How can Cadbury afford to have "made the switch" to fair trade, and yet in the supermarkets in Australia they are currently selling their certified FT chocolate at the same price of non-fair trade? How can consumers be assured that what they are paying for is going to the right people?

Very clear and helpful, thank you. Will have to give up all chocolate except FairTrade, and give them time and resources to deal with the problems.
