Halloween should be fun for kids. But falling commodity prices mean chocolate farmers in West Africa struggle with poverty. In the worst cases, farms rely on child labor and trafficked workers to harvest the crop. The world's biggest chocolate companies know about this but haven't done enough to stop it. At Equal Exchange, we understand that chocolate is a treat — and farmers should always be paid fairly for their work. We trade with farmers in Latin America and West Africa to buy cacao that's organic, fair, and traceable. Farmers can support their families, care for the environment, and invest in the future.
