#Ethical #Chocolate
A 🧵 #chocolate #impact

On 1st October an 18.5% drop in the main crop price of cocoa in Ivory Coast was announced which will lead to millions of smallholder farmers falling further below the poverty line. It’s not a sale it’s #TheBigChocoSteal (2/7)
This fall in income for cocoa farmers will likely lead to increased inequality and vulnerability including more children working illegally on cocoa farms (3/7)
Meanwhile, you, the consumer will likely pay the same, but it’s expected that big chocolate company profits will increase significantly (4/7)
It is estimated that if big chocolate companies paid farmers in Ivory Coast enough to earn a living income it would cost $1bn – only 0.7% of global chocolate revenues (5/7)
We want all chocolate companies to match the price Tony’s pays for cocoa – the Living Income Reference Price developed with @FairtradeUK - to enable cocoa farmers to earn a living income and get out of the poverty – the root cause of illegal labour (6/7)
Support farmers by sharing news of #TheBigChocoSteal and ask chocolate companies to pay more, not less, for cocoa: TAG your favourite brands below and ask them to price match Tony's by paying the Living Income Reference Price for their cocoa. #TheCocoaPriceMatch (7/7]
