"If the world market price for #cocoa falls, you cannot reduce the farmers price as well. It means we have to find money in order to subsidize farmers who basically supply to the biggest processors/chocolate makers and I think it’s wrong," Aidoo @ghcocobod @WorldCocoa #WCFPM

[Sandra Boga @chicacacao]

"No way we can have sustainable #cocoa reproduction without proper renumeration for farmers. The WCF has to sit down with the two countries to look at this matter critically," Aidoo @ghcocobod @WorldCocoa #WCFPM

"#Cocoa market players/buyers pay the LID but then behind the scenes, the country differentials have been heavily discounted," Joseph Boahen Aidoo @ghcocobod
@WorldCocoa #WCFPM

[Sandra Boga @chicacacao]

And there's more...." Any brand, that is seen not to be serious in accepting the LID from December 2020 must consider all its #cocoa beans from #Ghana and #IvoryCoast be branded as conventional. We are prepared to name and shame these brands to the public!" 😲 @ghcocobod #WCFPM

[Sandra Boga @chicacacao]

I wasn't wrong either....excerpts from his pre-recorded message include: "The #LID support from stakeholders has been great. However some brands seek to collapse the LID. We take exception to that." Who might those be 👀??

Annual income gap at $10 billion. To close gap requires strong global economy. @MDLZ @CathyPieters #WCFPM #Cocoa

[Sandra Boga @chicacacao]

Only 30% of current #cocoa farmers in Ghana and Ivory Coast can realistically reach a living income. @MDLZ @CathyPieters #WCFPM

"Pandemic spurred us on to be more ambitious with due diligence & sustainability for the #cocoa sector", #EU commissioner Jutta Urpilainen @CAOBISCO_EU #WCFPM

[Sandra Boga @chicacacao]

Average income for African #cocoa household 2,000 when 7,300 is what is required for a living income. We cannot enjoy the confectionary products we all love if farmers are not getting paid enough, says @sunnyVerghese @Olam #WCFPM

[Sandra Boga @chicacacao]

"This (Coivd) is the worst crisis that I have lived through. Demand for #cocoa has eroded due to closure of restaurants and hotels," @sunnyVerghese @Olam #WCFPM

"Though still too many in child labour, we are making progress in IV and Ghana. Govt and company programmes are making a difference. More than 60% increase in total #cocoa production, did not bring a similar surge in child labour," @RickScobey @WorldCocoa #WCFPM

[Sandra Boga @chicacacao]

"Seen encouraging results in climate change & deforestation. 2018-2019 rate of forest lost was halved in IV and Ghana,"@RickScobey of @WorldCocoa #WCFPM #cocoa

[Sandra Boga @chicacacao]

"Company sustainability programmes directly helping 700,000 farmers, 45% of all cocoa growers in Ghana and IV @WorldCocoa president @RickScobey #WCFPM

[Sandra Boga @chicacacao]

"We are facing a difficult #cocoa market. #Covid has had significant negative impact on cocoa supply chain. Grindings down 15%. Decline in demand has sent cocoa prices lower and also impacted purchaes, @WorldCocoa president @RickScobey #WCFPM

[Sandra Boga @chicacacao]

"We are on track with commitment to reach 200,000 farmers by 2022 with CocoaLife. 56% now sourced through #Cocoa Life. On target to reach 100% by 2025," @MDLZ @WorldCocoa #WCFPM

[Sandra Boga @chicacacao]

"We welcome govt interest to raise #cocoa price through LID. We are paying it. But there is more we can do as a sector to improve sector on the ground." @MDLZ #WCFPM
