A sustainable sector, depends on the competence of farmers. Unless they are independent entrepreneur, the Illusion of a “Sustainable Cocoa Sector” will only strengthen those who deny farmers from their rights. Direct sourcing "key" to a Sustainable Sector https://t.co/NxWkhbHczQ

Farmers income continue to be a major challenge in the sector. Which trigger Ivory Coast, Ghana to call for fixed floor price. This proposal didn't get stakeholders support. Farmers income is a major obstacle to realize a sustainable sector. We call for policy/regulation reform.

Good to see stakeholders trying to implement Bottom-Up Approaches (https://t.co/CHQU4z2JAz), thanks to FCA. However, FCA’s Bottom-Up Approach is based on: inclusion, transparency, self-governance, self-reliance and accountability. We will continue our fight for REFORM!
