How/Where to Buy Fair Trade Chocolate 

News Updates
World news updates related to the global fair trade movement.

For now, chocolate is a bitter sweet…

  • 284,000 children toil in abusive labour conditions in West Africa’s cocoa fields
  • Cocoa companies pay prices so low that many cocoa farmers cannot meet their families’ basic needs

But we can fix all that...with Fair Trade certified chocolate:

  • Forced and abusive child labor are prohibited
  • Farming families earn a price that is adequate to meet their basic human needs
  • Environmentally sustainable production methods are required
