Dear Reader,

Generally Africa ships raw materials to developed countries which is then processed and sold back to us at premium prices. For example Chocolate is one of the world’s most popular sweet treats, and in 2014, the global retail sales of chocolate confectionery were nearly a staggering $100 billion. Meanwhile, Ivory Coast and Ghana are the world’s number one and two producers of the major raw material used in manufacturing Chocolate i.e. cocoa beans, and the two countries together account for nearly 70% of the world’s cocoa production. But the two countries earned just over $8 billion in cocoa exports. In the global value chain for chocolate, the value is skewed heavily in favour of processors, marketers and distributor: cocoa growers receive just 6% of the price that consumers pay for chocolate. This clearly underscores the fact that the farmer who sells his products raw and does not add value to the product remains the least paid in the agricultural chain.
