3:48 am
keep some of the profits from the $100 billion chocolate industry here. they started their own company 57 chocolate. >> 57 chocolate. it's short for 1957, which was ghana's independence. but it's not just about ghana being free from colonial rule. it's more about the spirit behind ghana's independence. as ghanaians, as africans, we can do this. >> reporter: as a businesswoman, she is motivated by some numbers that do not make sense to her. 2/3 of the world's cacao, the raw ingredient that's roasted and used to make chocolate is grown in the african nations of cote d'ivoire and ghana. the biggest chocolate makers are in the u.s. and europe, which is where most of the money goes too. chocolate's story is certainly not all sweet. there are continuing issues of trafficking children to work on plantations for little or no
3:49 am
pay, an issue that touches even u.s. consumers. a new lawsuit alleges customs and border protection ignored evidence that child labor was involved in harvesting cocoa for major u.s. candy makers. the agency told us it cannot comment on pending litigation. today the department of labor estimates that 1.5 million children still work illegally on cocoa plantations. we visited cocoa country to see where the problems start and to understand some possible solutions. evans kanuby cracks open the pod to extract the sweet, slimy bean, which at this stage has a flavor like lychee fruit. i saw you eating a few of them earlier. >> yeah. >> reporter: while there are presidentials, high pay is not among them. do you feel like you make enough
3:50 am
money to have a decent living? >> no, no, no. >> reporter: the average cocoa farmer in ghana earns less than $2 a day, and it's labor intensive work. once the cocoa is collected, it's left to ferment under banana leaves for about seven days. then is laid out in the sun to dry. steven has been farming cocoa for 14 years and says he barely breaks even. at the end, you'll buy chocolate bars? >> mostly i don't buy chocolates. and when we have, it's better i use it to buy heavy foods rather than buy chocolate that cannot fill my belly to come and work. >> reporter: you don't make enough money to afford chocolate? >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> reporter: that's a bitter reality dutch chocolate maker tony's chokaloney. >> it's a luxury, a gift. people accept that there is extreme poverty at the beginning of the supply chain.
3:51 am
>> reporter: they led sustainability programs for tony until last month. the name adds to the lonely place in this fight against exploitation. >> the two main problems are illegal labor and both are driven by poverty. what our program aims to do is help farmers earn a living income. and with that, we take away the root cause of issues in cocoa. >> reporter: they took us to see schools they help support. a common way many big chocolate companies claim to be giving back. bu schumacher is underlying that this, what he called charity, is not enough. boosting real incomes is essential. he says the price most chocolate companies are paying for raw cocoa here, a price set by the government, is too low compared to what farmers need to live. >> how big the gap is between the government set price and the living income price, and we pay the gap as an extra premium. >> reporter: for the spring
3:52 am
harvest, the premium was about $63 higher than what is set by the government, meaning tony's paid almost double for each bag of beans. tony's also implemented a tracing system to follow the beans through their supply chain. tifolas monitors this step. >> knowing that to be responsible for whatever happens to your beans. it will help you to do the right thing. >> reporter: can you calculate how many chocolate barrious can make from a bag like this of cocoa? >> yeah, that's a good question. it really depends on the type of chocolates. so a dark chocolate bar would contain more cocoa than a milk chocolate bar. but on average, a tony's bar 300 to 500 bars from one bag. >> reporter: 300 to 500 bars. but farmers were getting just $80 for each of these bags of cocoa. >> we're almost doubling that, and it's still only a small fraction of the retail price. there is no chocolate company that will go bankrupt on that.
