This study by the Food and Agriculture Organization and the Bureau d’analyse sociétale pour une information citoyenne (BASIC) explores the distribution of value and costs along cocoa and chocolate supply chains. With a focus on the French market of dark and milk chocolate, confectionery bars and breakfast cocoa powder, it analyses cocoa grown in four producer countries: Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Ecuador and Cameroon.

Cette étude compare la situation observée dans 263 communautés productrices de cacao avant et durant le semi-confinement pour saisir les effets de ce choc sur le travail des enfants. Elle n’a pas été conçue pour analyser des tendances plus larges dans le domaine du travail des enfants – et ne devrait pas être utilisée pour tirer des conclusions en-dehors du cadre restreint de la période de pandémie.
