Things aren't being shared evenly in the chocolate supply chain. The chain starts with millions of farmers who produce cocoa and ends with the billions of consumers who enjoy chocolate. But what about the bit in the middle? This section is dominated by a handful of chocolate giants that profit from keeping the price of cocoa as low as possible. As a result, farmers are forced to live in poverty. And that leads to child labour and slavery. Right now, slaves are working on cocoa farms in West Africa. Many of them are children. Tony’s Chocolonely exists to change that. Child labour and modern slavery are against the law - it's illegal and it needs to stop. The chocolate bars are unequally divided because, as the company states “it’s strange for a chocolate bar to have equal pieces while the industry is still so unequally divided”. Since it’s initial launch, it has seen successful launches in Germany, Sweden, Finland, Belgium and the US and is now heading to the UK. Would you be willing to pay £2.75 for a bar of slave free chocolate?
