Cocoa-nomics: Now can chocolate companies stamp out slavery?
Two years ago, the documentary Chocolate's Child Slaves exposed the plight of youngsters forced to harvest the beans that make the chocolate we eat around the world. Many of the children made to work in the cocoa plantations in countries like Ivory Coast have never even tasted chocolate. Now CNN has returned to the plantations, this time with the Executive Vice President of Nestle, to find out if anything has changed and to see if the chocolate industry is willing and able to eradicate slavery from its supply chains.
Cocoa-nomics, presented by Richard Quest, will air on CNN International for the first time on February 27. You can watch the trailer above. And we'd like to hear from you too if you are taking steps to make sure the food you eat is not produced by slave labor. Find out more in our iReport assignment.

child slavery and chocolate: it's all about unfair trade and politics
Child Slavery is evil; every hand must be on deck to fight it. Access to free and compulsary Education should be encouraged...stop stop stop child slaVery.
I'm ashamed and alarmed as Hershey stock climbs daily....and stockholders cash in ...and executives in the company..family men and women themselves......although hardworking people could go on with their daily lives knowing their work causes such a life for others.......having lagged behind in human rights for profit!! No wonder we are given the reputation as "The Ugly American".
So one of the main problems identified is that the Ivory Coast government sets the price of cocoa and they set it too low. So the laborers resort to either using free slave child labor, or face not making any money. The question I have is, why does the government set the price so low? Are they being bribed by the chocolate companies? If they are the biggest cocoa producers, surely the chocolate companies would have to buy their cocoa anyway even if prices were higher...
to reduce the rate of modern day slavery and child labour associated with d productio of cocoa in ivory coast, efforts of this vulnerable group should be replaced with mechanise farming so as to reduce stress and also pave way for effective education.imperalism is still on focus,where the rich nations exploit the potentials of this developing countries leading to a situatio of d rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer hence,i appeal to their consience.the foreign buyers should think of establishing cocoa farm education centers this is to enable the children make use of their time educationaly as well as cocoa production
