Globalization: Chocolate

The top map shows the 1 st, 2 nd and 3 rd world countries. The bottom map shows where Chocolate is grown. What do you notice?

How Chocolate is made: Chocolate pods grow on trees. After harvest, the pods are cracked open and the Chocolate beans are separated. These beans are sent to manufacturers all over the world, who then turn bitter Chocolate beans into delicious chocolate candies. This flowchart, in black and white, represents the process of making Chocolate. This flowchart is produced by Nestle Chocolate. Which step are they missing in their flow chart? Why might they purposefully leave it out?

Chocolate farmers Most chocolate is grown along the equator, in 3 rd world nations. As a result, Chocolate companies can pay extremely low wages to their workers. Additionally, because the economy is not well regulated in these 3 rd world nations there are many allegations of child workers, forced labor and increasingly unsafe work environments.

Human Trafficking In many areas of the world, children are forced to work on the chocolate farms. These children work for little pay. Some the children work for no pay, after being kidnapped from their homes, or tricked to join the Chocolate industry.

The Dark Side of Chocolate Companies will always take advantage of economies that don’t protect workers wages and work conditions for the sake of profit. It is a sad reality.

Fair Trade Many companies can still make a profit by selling chocolate that is grown with fair business practices. The cost is slightly higher to the consumers, but if demand for Fair trade items were to grow, the cost could potential drop. The only way to get the BIG chocolate companies to change is to force the change through boycotts.

Benefits to Fair Trade Chocolate 1)No Child Labor 2)Health Benefits (like all chocolate) 3)More cocoa in your chocolate 4)Environmental sustainability 5)Giving back through every purchase There are many fair trade companies in the world today, who use local artisans, chocolatiers and farmers to produce economically beneficial products: -Ten Thousand Villages -Fair Trade Winds

The Other side… Fair trade sounds really good: Get higher wages to the poorest workers and stop exploiting their labor. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always work. There are many proponents of Free Trade OVER Fair trade.
