Better Social Conditions
In West Africa, there are as many as eight people in the average family
Cocoa farming, especially in countries like Côte d’Ivoire, is one of the mainstays of the community. It’s the major employer, the source of income and the focus of activity for over a million families.
In the last decade, while there have been positive changes and evidence of increased farmer incomes, improved educational opportunities, and fewer children exposed to unsafe farming tasks, labour practices on cocoa farms still remain an issue of considerable concern. Too many children are involved in hazardous farming tasks or work on farms instead of going to school.
