What do cocoa farmers eat?
Cocoa farmers' live hard lives. Their average income, earned per year is £160.

In the early 90's, cocoa farmers were getting less than half of what international buyers were paying. •Farmers need to buy things due to they can't make or grow themselves, such as tools, fertilisers and pesticides, medicine, food and clothes, are expensive. •Farmers are often paid by local cocoa buyers using cheques or vouchers, which the farmers then can't cash, or which bounce. •Farmers are often underpaid by local cocoa buyers using 'fixed' scales, set to show a lower reading than the actual weight of their cocoa beans. •Even in hard times, it is difficult for farmers to switch to other crops, which may take time to grow and need new farming skills.
