Children in cocoa production
• Child labour -refers to the
employment of children at
regular and sustained labour.
This practice is considered
exploitative by many
international organizations and
is illegal in many countries.
Child labour was utilized to
varying extents through most
of history, but entered public
dispute with the advent of
universal schooling, with
changes in working conditions
during the industrial revolution,
and with the emergence of the
concepts of workers' and
children's rights.
• The widespread use of children in cocoa
production is controversial not only because of
the usual concerns about child labor and
exploitation, but also because many of the
children working in the Ivory Coast cocoa
industry may be victims of human trafficking or
slavery. (Up to 12,000 of the 200,000 children
working there, according to the International
Labour Organisation.)
Most attention on this subject has focused on
West Africa, which collectively supplies nearly
80% of the world's cocoa, and Côte d'Ivoire
(Ivory Coast) in particular, which supplies 46%.
Thirty percent of children under age 15 in sub-
Saharan Africa are child laborers, mostly in
agricultural activities including cocoa farming.
Cocoa plantation
and export
• Theobroma cacao is a small
understory tree native to the
American tropical rainforest, which
has evolved to utilize the shade of
the heavy canopy. It originated in
clumps along riverbanks in the
Amazon basin on the eastern
equatorial slopes of the Andes.
Naturally Cacao grows under heavy
rainforest canopy, it is cultivated
underneath Banana or Casaca
(Tapioca) or other large leaf, tree-
like, grasses. It has unusually deep
roots for a rainforest tree because it
naturally tends to grow in the
riparian zone.
The largest number of species are found in
northwestern South America, where the tree is native.
However over half of the world supply of commercial
Cacao comes from two East African countries: Cote
D'Ivorie (Ivory coast) exports 41%, and it's neighbor,
Ghana 13% of the world's supply.
