This is one of the come. Within the chocolate show a small space the surprisingly open 2 and gio but does not pull punches. To that emotion you cant go book you dont even have any every every movement moseyed you tonight is off on that is cash the time i dont be a phone the kind i does often say that you know the point you see me kind of the mass sad depressed trader. Industrials want to show they also want to save the planet and to keep their hands clean they pledged transparency. Reason to steal a smile at 03 dont believe that if i start soon as i didnt formally protest or discuss additional ballot i dont smoke. The topical show issue. Is that it was finally. Over the past 10 years the chocolate industry committed to do whatever they could to save the forests and send children to school but what happens to these good intentions once you hit the road and go on the field. This is john howard economic capital of ivory coast the country accounts for 40 percent of the worlds cocoa production without knowing it we mostly eat ivorian cocoa there are no joined cocoa plantations monitored by multinationals in ivory coast nor elsewhere cocoa is grown by hundreds of thousands of promised on small isolated plots. It will then go through a long chain of brokers. It gets transformed before ending on a supermarket shelves. We will try to go upstream along that chain until the soldiers go with foreign eyes and not expect it. At the far west of the country 8 hours away from the capital city stunned the great forests 40 percent of 5 orian cocoa comes from that. We are still on the main road but when they see our camera some kids run away or sign were getting closer to the cocoa a. Good deal of what is truth about who is the poor do things like. A little bit of little food. Child labor strictly forbidden in cocoa farming punishable by 6 months in jail. But it remains elusive we have reached the far west we left the main road now and trails can turn into my plagues. The. Moment i said to myself it. Is for the lots of us the most important. Thing. When trucks make it through the mud they may come across strange militias that those of us they say theyre protecting the population they collect money from whoever goes through particularly from cocoa trucks. To do opposite. Them then it. Is you know. Again your shallowness and if. Right now. We are about 10 kilometers from liberia this is one of the last protected forests in west africa the ground to be a forest. Or whats left of. Trees stand out like a big white skeletons they have been killed to give ground to cocoa all that green underneath the white wood is cocoa. Illegal plantation this forest is protected no one can claim property on apostle let alone grow anything on it. In theory access has to be granted by the water and Forests Department so therefore is the state agency in charge of the protection of forest preserves but the law doesnt apply here. After a 4 hour ride on tracks we reach an on off the launch settled. This is a lawless. Callender stun farmers took hold of a forest that doesnt belong to them we better not say what journalists in the heart of the forest everyone is suspicious and ivorian and geo member d is leading. Around 40 people live on this camp in hearts men and children only they drink the water from the river and eat the bananas and cast some of they grow in the forest. They pick the cocoa pods and cut them open with a machete back to have skilful hands. The shells are hot on the machetes shop. And i.

To my cost to profit all birds have that exact amount i keep people said on phone about if you will sir can i just have the say defies this or you could buy a greater problem because they did select people to think we went to the carly forests. Long strange spot on the map one of the few preserved primary forests in west africa. Its only 40 kilometers south from the one day before us but unlike the guam debate it hasnt been destroyed by cocoa from yet. However plunder started from a source settling in the reserve and start to grow cocoa some of them even reported to carry weapons a local n. G. O. S fighting against this traffic our forest our future is doing the job of the police they check on the trucks getting out of the fathers. I mean yeah one other thing on this leave it. Were. Going to be. Another step. Given above that goal. They think. Theres a trade theres an. Alternating way. And the best thing for long. Months ready ready. We also wanted to know what was going on where cocoa has grown legally since 2012 the Ivorian Government has implemented a program to fight against child labor they say they invest 5000000. 00 euros a year the old verities create a National Surveillance network in which local n. G. O. S play an active and probably the most effective part on the field. And so money works for one of them one man you know. Youre not there are said. To go to. Vikkis or to try to find decide if your day and if i just come out that this is a far corner thought on properly fed. And therefore. Mistaken for me from now from jeff in our societies as soon you would if he does these are going through or is just like you saw this broadcast you. Could to. In ivory coast children often help out their parents only cambs its leader who army is hunting those who do not send their kids to school during the week. Over the. War and its a way that they were. Going to take us. As a hunt up at the militia. Silverthorne through cyber internet. And dont want to do. It that dealers are fond of but i was sure that because i found overly and he called it preacher man you know what it was. Very. Theyre going to. Require me and work for a small angio funded by International Donors but he is a former trucker for the cocoa cooperatives he knows all too well why it may be so difficult for farmers to send their kids to school. He was on the desk in front of a sat down as a father must for whatever group if theres a good even comparing a clueless offer at a time to take it up a. Silk i bit the door and i just feel emma forswear this is awful in a bucket is a fight over that i think you know this. Is a fund overly call to pull for him several but theres no by the way because christians who are all in the soup do truck got sick awful you know by the way. It was you want help sometimes at the price of sacrifices some farmers managed to pay the school for their kids not his with the little money they earned from cocoa mr zongo has been working in cocoa for 30 years no slaves here mr zongo is very proud of one of his sons really hes doing well in school soon he will go to college he came to london hunt to his dad during the School Holiday regifted is interesting to see if they did know the position for. His faith he said i needed one. In the running backs if any dont you then you continue with. This wonderful love to be an optimist like many times less since im there for live. We think i would not have to say dont do most of my prayers if you need. Next to wear loose stones his younger brother hes out of school for good his dad had to make a choice it was either him or his brother. If i love or lives out to through if it did. Lead back to sets out with something on. The road but the game. Done. Well you know. Well this guy remember im given much. To say. About the way. Hes someone like him where you get. The word. That if i mean id like. To see the video by reading more yes could you professor i did according to cover you. Dont belong. When im called you know kind of no self and im behind what the north. Koreans know one thing and working with the. What you say my. Little thats. What. The chocolate industry is a 100000000000. 00 yearly market for Cocoa Farmers according to the French Development agency earns less than a euro a day when the want to the key solution to rescue children from labor simply was to increase the cocoa promised a question we wanted to omsk the chocolate industry. It was. Heading to davos a small town in switzerland home to big business events. Every 2 years cocoa pope aeration berry called up invites the main actors of the chocolate industry they keep setting the same goal to put an end to poverty and then they publish nice pictures on the internet. No ones from mr just love of nothing no one is people to be hungry children to be monetization or not educated i mean were clear on that very cold notified us by email were not welcome at the choco vision event but we still hope to meet some people we can talk to after all they did commit to public transparency but the Hotel Security had strict orders about us. Oh. Yeah. The question were obsessed with is why they still dont hold their promise in 2001 almost 20 years ago all chocolate industrials committed to put an end to a child labor they all signed a solemn document spearheaded by the World Cocoa Foundation we meet one of them on the parking lot. Simple solutions. Are very hard to find for something as complicated as the child labor but we all agree that the solution of paying more to the growers as it has not been implemented yet. We are looking at ways to scale up approaches to how farmers can improve their income 18 years of. Years to lucan what you going to do in the future and nothing is done nowadays if you. Simply to stop poverty. I would i wouldnt say that nothing is being done now as i mentioned before we have companies that are committed to paying premiums to farmers to help them increase their income levels what about the lawmakers what are they doing about it chocolate is essentially the european issue. So we went to the e. U. Parliament in brussels. Illegal practices in the cocoa supply chain on not sanctioned by the european legislation. Heidi hotel and a member of parliament from finland often meets chocolate manufacturers. Have a year was. Poisoned. We are busy preparing an action plan on what to do with cocoa so that cocoa would not anymore cause the forestation and child labor and what is really very remarkable is that more and more companies are saying that we need this mandatory Due Diligence of negation we need lol inform the times you would have said that companies are masochistic that they are asking for yes but they have what they want what they call a level Playing Field because they dont want to be irresponsible and then they see that the Irresponsible Companies are reaping the profits you know for a cheap price so thats the question because to be responsible may cost a little more.
