In ESOL, we have been learning about the effects of unfair trade. We have also looked at fair trade. This is for the cacao growers who only get 6,6% of the value of tonnes of cocoa sold. This affects the wellbeing of the growers. There are more than this. There is a dark side to the chocolate industry. Young children are trafficked from poor countries in Africa to work in cocoa farms. They are lied about being paid but instead are abused. They do not get what an average child would have. The table below states some of the things that will be affected by unfair trade.
