Petition To Stop Exploitation Of Cocoa Farmers

Hi, please sign and share:

 

"Hi there,

I know you’ll agree it’s outrageous Ivory Coast farmers growing the cocoa that goes in to our chocolate get only 73p a day on average, less than half of what experts say is a living income in the country.

Please can you sign this Fairtrade petition to the Prime Minister asking her to commit to making living incomes a priority for UK overseas aid deals?

Here is the link you need: https://bit.ly/2WPdpgQ

Thanks"

I'd more interested in the farmers stopping child labour practices to be honest. Perhaps it explains why the 'farmers' only get an average of 73p a day when the minimum wage in Ivory Coast equates to £83 a month at current interest rates?
