flag Ivorian cocoa farmers remain impoverished despite global leadership, facing low pay, debt, and environmental decline.

flag Ivorian cocoa farmers face worsening poverty despite being the world’s top producer, with many earning less than $1.36 a day, lacking basic services, and trapped in debt due to halted exports, delayed payments, and declining global prices. flag Although the government raised producer prices to 2,800 CFA francs per kilogram, farmers report not being paid, and productivity remains stagnant at 450–550kg per hectare amid severe deforestation and soil degradation. flag In Ghana, cocoa farmers protest delayed payments from COCOBOD, threatening next season’s planting, while two South Sudanese men completed a cross-UK walk to raise awareness and funds for refugee children affected by the Sudan war.
