1- Using Fair Trade Premium: By doing this, the cocoa bean farmers can get the money they need to improve their basic needs.
2- Buy traditional brands: By buying brands such as Hershey’s, you are not helping to the cause of traditional chocolate makers.
3- Promote through social media what we learned, and promote fair-trade.

Of the 2 millions tons of chocolate produced in Côte d'Ivoire in 2016, only 8% was produced on fair-trade terms. Fair trade seeks for the solution for the problem of income, specially for African communities. Even though this solution is already being implemented, we can see that there's a lot to work on. Yes, the chocolate price may increase, but it is necessary for West African communities, and to have a fair trade.

The role of women in chocolate production

# data[].attributes.body
Women in Africa do not have the credit they deserve. They work really hard, and aren't recognized in society. Many women do not even know they have a voice. Studies have shown that when women have their independent income and work in communities, the productions start to grow. The development becomes way larger. If women were more included in jobs, there could be awesome results, and more production.

Conclusion: What do we think about this situation and what have we learned?

We knew that chocolate was mostly produced in Africa, but we didn't know that the farmers had a really low income. If farmers stopped growing cacao, we wouldn't be able to eat chocolate, and if this situation continues they may stop growing cacao. We think that farmers should be payed fair, and that we need to help in anything we possibly can. As teenagers in a world pandemic, we cannot do much, but we can share what we've learned and support fair-trade, we can promote others to investigate about the subject, and support the production of artesanal chocolate, and brands that are in fairtrade. We don't want chocolate to disappear, let's be fair and support West African communities.

Many farmers who grow the cocoa for the chocolate treats, are underpaid and exploited, which means that they don't earn enough for their basic needs or basic human rights such as: food, education, health etc. Chocolate or cocoa is a very big business, only in the UK, the cocoa industry is worth 4, 000, 000, 000 pounds a year, but cocoa farmers are at the very end of the supply chain and see very little of cocoa's value, farmers usually live with less than a dollar per day.

Step 1: Cocoa trees are grown.
Step 2: The pod from the tree is cut open to retrieve the cocoa. Each pod has 20 to 60 seeds.
Step 3: The seeds are covered in white pulp, so they are left in the sun for days in order to dry out and turn brown and sticky.
Step 4: Cocoa beans are then sold to traders and exported. Step 5: These are then made into liquid cocoa, cocoa butter, and cocoa powder and mixed with milk or soy to create the infamous chocolate that we have grown to love.
