Chocolate at any cost?

Supply Cha!nge – Make Supermarkets Fair

Think Global promotes learning for a just and sustainable world. We help people to understand complex global issues like poverty, conflict and migration, so they are able to take action, and reflect on that action afterwards. Supply Cha!nge is campaigning to stop environmental and human rights abuses along global supply chains, with a specific focus on supermarket own-brand products – including chocolate!

Cocoa production

  • The pods are broken no more than 5 days

after harvesting

  • The beans are then covered with leaves

and left to ferment for 4 – 7 days with frequent stirring to check the humidity

  • Well-fermented beans have a shiny

appearance, without mould and their cotyledons break easily. They release a chocolate aroma.

  • The beans are then dried naturally or artificially
  • The dried cocoa beans are placed in jute bags on a pallet to avoid contact

with the ground and walls. The storage location must be dry, clean, well- aerated and protected from rodents and humidity to ensure the quality of the product.
