White Owned Chocolate Companies Use Child Slavery For Major Profits
After watching the above video, these were my comments
This is a problem in all African Countries where they allow their resources to be priced based on what white people think. They call it supply and demand and the global market, but it's what Europeans want it to be. No chocolate can be made without the beans so the beans should be worth much more. Everybody in the supply chain is making much more than the farmers who do the most work. This is the way it is with all work. The employees who do the most work get paid the least. Ghana should be ashamed to allow its land and its people to be raped, robbed and poisoned especially by foreign-owned entities. Poor management and practices from the farmers to the government regulators who do nothing but listen to outsiders. Child labor for cacao, minerals, fish and a lot of other things is taking place in Ghana and in other countries worldwide due to extreme poverty. It's designed that way but African governments should not allow foreigners to profit. At least pay them a living wage under humane conditions. China is doing this to their people. So is India and other countries.
Very similar things are happening in the USA in farming fields and for all people working for $7.25 minimum wage.
