Chocolate, heart of darkness

Ойын-сауық

In 2001, the lucrative chocolate industry, due to pressure from NGOs, committed itself to putting an end to child labour in cacao plantations before 2006. 18 years later, has that promise been kept? The Ivory Coast, the world’s largest cacao producer, made a real effort to eradicate this scourge on the country. They built schools and trained farmers. Television adverts even reminded populations that child labour is illegal. So why does child exploitation still exist? Further into isolated areas of the forest, at the end of near-impassable roads, Paul Moreira discovered child slaves, forced to work in plantations, their incomes often seized by traffickers. These child slaves are separated from their parents and sometimes resold onto other traffickers.
Director : Paul Moreira

    Cargill 100 billion dollars Cocoa industry and corruption, while the farmers and their children live in poverty for less than a euro a day... We see how the trickle down theory on finance doesn't work. It's about shareholders'profits, not about the well-being of people. Fair Trade is just their marketing strategy and the environment and people suffer.

    There is NO reason why ANY African country should have its people living in poverty. Africa is a wealthy continent and full of industry. However corruption and exploitation of its own people by their governments continues to foster the lack of education and poverty. Do you really think a hungry man who has a hungry family to look after is going to care about the deforestation? What the Japanese, British, French and other nationalities have done and are continuing to do to the continent of Africa and its peoples is a damn shame.

And for me to then 2-3 bucks to the corporation that is responsible for this for their profit absolutely not I’m not doing it anymore. They get paid pennies on the dollar and these corporate CEOs and other Executive officers are millionaires. Making millions off the backs of children who are trafficked by their own parents and live a life of squalor with little or nothing to eat and get no formal education all while working with dangerous instruments and carcinogenic chemicals. Meanwhile the corporate greedy SOBs live in their mansions big houses can afford to send their children to the best schools and live off the backs of slaves. Nothing has changed.

    Unfortunately, this kind of child exploitation in most countries across the world is what is keeping the high demand of raw materials demanded by large corporations in the developed world. Most plantation farms, textile, electronic industries, name it, cheap child labour and unskilled labour force is what dominates the current globalisation.

    The cocoa farms' workers' fate is unbearable but this is not the right way to look a the situation. According to Customary Law, the workers are strangers. This means that they cannot lay claim on a piece of land around that area. The workers themselves would apply the same rules to foreigners coming to their parts of West Africa. Africans are different from each other. The color of the skin should not mask the realities of the traditional rules they still live by. I do not think the Ivory Coast has managed yet to implement land reforms.
