Chocolate - Not So Sweet Afterall (The Côte d'Ivoire Story)

Anyone is more than welcome to repost this article on their own channel in order to raise awareness. Thank you! :)

i never knew how much slaves suffer for cocoa plantations. thanks i can really use this for my assignment on slavery. I always was thinking orf boycotting the cocolate companies that use slaves. but i dont know how...

Hi Xx, if you're a chocolate lover you can opt to buy from retailers and manufacturers who are Fair Trade Certified. ADM (who own the brand Ambrosia) as well as Nestle are not therefore buy nothing associated with those two companies. The only way to hurt corporations who do not insure fair trade is by hitting their pockets. You can start your own campaign if you like and get your friends and family to help raise awareness. Good luck with your assignment. :)

holy... im not eating chocolate ever again!!!"bites football made in china by 4 years old child"... ?

Hi inouyejulio. Not all chocolate is bad (in a manner of speaking that is) It just depends where manufacturers get their cocoa beans from. Nestlé, Archer Daniels Midland and
Cargill in 2005 had lawsuits filed against them for trafficking, torture and forced labour of children. You can still support companies who only buy and use products which are not apart of this disgusting trade. Blessings.

wow. yer same, i'm writing an essay for a school exam tomorrow on globalisation and the effects of cocoa. deffinatly have more to put in it now but also something to think about. not going to buy anything other that 'free trade' chocolate now!

I've been doing child labour in Cote d'Ivoire for a school assignment. This really gives me some further insight into the extent of the issue. Thanks for uploading

Hi dannibumz, good luck with your assignment and you're more than welcome for the upload. Blessings.

Africa is one of the most corrupt places in the world. Its disgusting when you hear these boys stating that they have no idea what chocolate tastes like. And the world continues to eat snickers.
