Under UTZ, farmers should receive between $120-180 as premium/tone of cocoa. For the past three years, Cameroon farmers receive a max of $70/tone .@Gargil@Ecom@Telcar@Ams#justice for farmers now
@jcniyomugabo This looks like an expansive scale activity. Would like to have details on how long it takes under different humidity. How do you keep away vectors from contamination whilst under processing? Congratulations.
Thousands of migrants from Africa and the Middle East have disappeared on the journey to Europe; some are in unmarked graves in Italy. Their families never know what happened. I wrote in this week's @NewYorker on the crisis of the missing: https://t.co/jxpfreoJec
interesting finding out if the farmers have an understanding of what exporters have offered in comparison to a ratio of the quota which the government intent to reserve for compensatory policy. #cocoatalks. #childlabour#cocoalifestyle.
The cocoa price conundrum continues to divide opinions across communities in ivory coast as a confidante revealed. The government is targeting a Ceiling price of 950frs ($1.55) per kilogram which exporters are allegedly not willing to conform. There's probably more to this: the
The same companies sourcing cocoa in ivory Coast don't quite seem to be different from those sourcing in Cameroon and probably Ghana and Nigeria. The big question therefore is, what's stopping them if the government isn't rightly acting or asking for a fair share? It would be
@UKinCameroon@LimbeWildlife@jerryaylmer@DefraGovUK I have been to this zoo on a few occasions and it always seems to surprise me how a tiny confined environment presumably serves as a habitat for those poor primates. It's upsetting to see how these animals live. How I wish these funds were to help relocate them.
It's looking like one of those years : the ones with more money chasing fewer goods and in the process, pushing the price in its best position. Farm gate prices are escalating under free markets and stagnating under fixed models.
I am seeking to engage, by learning and sharing my experience and thoughts on the benefits, if any, on governments' pricing intervention policies on cocoa in Africa. #ghana#Cameroon#Nigeria#IvoryCoast.
Food isn't just important to us humans because we depend on it to survive; we have to grow it on the same planet, where experience is needed to avoid disproportionate exploitation. The cocoa season is here and being optimistic is a unique feeling.
I've been quiet about our value addition journey into tanzanian made chocolate but more and more people are trying and so I'll share some of our journey soon. 10 different flavoured bars, bonbons and other cocoa products. You can follow on instagram @mababuchocolate
quite unnerved about the phenomenon. The inability to establish and sustain community communication channels continue to highlight the price of unreliable information. @onccnccb@UEauCameroun@UN_Cameroon@CnpsCameroun
Ninety percent of Cameroon cocoa farmers have no knowledge on accessing social security . The voluntary social insurance which ws phased in 2014 and rolled out in 2015 has clearly not meet any desirable targets and the social national social insurance fund of Cameroon (NSIF) seem
Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya, Egypt and four others agree to start trading under AFCFTA, Africa's continental free trade zone. But without free movement of persons, free trade will struggle. https://t.co/xNlPCW1L8v
