Descripción
The low level of income of most small cocoa farmers, especially in Western Africa, has been a growing issue in the cocoa sector for the past three decades, furthermore, ensuring a living income for small cocoa farmers has become a pressing issue across producing countries.The main objectives of the study are two-fold:1. estimate the detailed distribution of value, costs, and profits for different chocolate products from cocoa farmers down to consumers, and investigate the factors that influence this distribution, both upstream in the countries of cocoa production and downstream in the country of consumption (France);2. compare the part of value accruing to farmers for the different chocolate products and producer countries analysed together with other key mass-consumed food products sold in France.
