Within the chocolate show a small space the surprisingly open 2 and gio that does not pull punches. To that emotion you take out a book you dont even then and then every every movement moseyed you tried is unfounded as cash each time i dont see a phone the kind i did often say that you know the point you see me kind of the mass sad the predicator. Industrials want to show they also want to save the planet and to keep. Their hands clean they pledged transparency.

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 armies are not expected. 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 every. This is a little of what he thinks about Elizabeth Edwards and like. A little bit of an innocent. 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 what are the odds of us most important. 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 sounds as. If 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 older 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 ground. By the water and Forests Department so therefore is the state agency in charge of the protection of Forest Reserve but the role doesnt apply here. After a 4 hour ride on trucks we reach an on off the launched settlement. This is a lawless. Plunder stunned farmers took hold of a forest that doesnt belong to them we better not say were journalists in the heart of the forest everyone is suspicious and ivorian angio member d is leading. Around 40 people live on this camp in hunts men and children only they drink the water from the river and eat the anonymous and custom of they grow in the forest they pick the cocoa pods and cut them open with a machete.

They are drawing to 1st time before being put into bags done by us will come on trucks to bind them they are called the truckers. All. The time with. The workers a very young age is all business. Here a 3rd of the workers are children. d youngsters are not ivorian theyre all migrants from neighboring booking a fossil a country plagued by drought. 5 orian cocoa is the only hope of survival. Of. Demonic is only 13. Really good football given only.

Long strange spot on the map one of the few preserved primary forests in west africa its only 40 kilometers south from the guam baby photos but unlike the guam debate it hasnt been destroyed by coco from yet. However understand from i saw settling in the reserve and start to grow cocoa some of them even reported to carry weapons a local ngo is fighting against this traffic our forest our future is doing the job of the police they check on the trucks getting out of the folders. When i think on this in leave it. When they be flown off as i think i saw another fess up with. Him like even. If they stick. Their bums out of a trade. Winds. I think. Its. One of those what if. d d we also wanted to know what was going on where cocoa is 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 of dorothys create a National Surveillance network in which local n. G. O. S play an active and probably the most effective part on the. Us so money works for one of them when bang in our. Door other said do. To go. Through that well as a viking song see. If i decide the future day and i thank you so much that this is a far corner that ive on but im qualified that i that is sort of like i woulda said our survival. And therefore. It about a career mused listed for me from now from. The 70s as soon you would be viewed as already these are going through or is just like you sort of the theme of this broadcast you and i like to. Be in ivory coast children often help out their parents on the cams its leader who army is hunting those who do not send their kids to school during the week. When its way they dont. Try to go to vegas so big. As a hunter but the militia that. Suv torn through sabah internet. And dont want to do. It that deal is a 100 but i was sure that theres a fund of ali and he called imprisonment you know what it was. Very. Theyre going to. Kwame and works 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 some kids to school. He was on the phone of a south down as a fun a must for whatever group if theres a good even comparing a clueless offer at a time to take it up off a. Silk i be more and i just feel emma forswear this is awful when a bucket is a fight over that of a kid. Theres a fundamentally color to pull for them separate but theres no by the way because christians who are all in the shoes that i do try got sick on for you know by the way pretty much. It was you want help sometimes at the price of sacrifices some farmers manage 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 Holidays dont fret if it is interesting to see if they did the. Position your. Faith said i needed to run. In the running backs if any dont you when you put me in the vicinity. Of my success wonderful of. Being at the midpoint many times less since im there for live. We think i would not have to say dont do most of my play so 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 a big day. Sets out with this and said something on. The road but the game. Well you know devo this guy remember very much. About why. Someone like you might get. The word. No. That if i mean. To see the video where you needed more yes its a fairly curly. When i got a nose. For. Me to know one thing to do with the. News is lets. Take the for 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 all of them want to if the key solution to rescue children from labor simply was to increase the cocoa promised a question we wanted to offer the chocolate industrials. Did their part for. A. Wedding 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 promise to just live off nothing no one wants people to be hungry children should be moments in general not educated i mean with clearly very cold notified us by email we are not welcome at the chuckle 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. Yeah. The question were obsessed with is why they still dont hold. The 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 laws but we all agree that the solution of paying more to the growers of 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 efficiently 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 law makers 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.
