Chocolate - the very word conjures up a hint of the forbidden and a
taste of the decadent. Yet the story behind the chocolate bar is
rarely one of luxury. From the thousands of children who work on
plantations to the smallholders who harvest the beans, Chocolate
Nations reveals the hard economic realities of our favourite sweet.
This vivid and gripping exploration of the reasons behind farmer
poverty includes the human stories of the producers and traders at
the heart of the West African industry. Orla Ryan shows that only a
tiny fraction of the cash we pay for a chocolate bar actually makes
it back to the farmers, and sheds light on what Fair Trade really
means on the ground. Provocative and eye-opening, Chocolate Nations
exposes the true story of how the treat we love makes it on to our
supermarket shelves.
