TheChocolateLifeLIVE – The Chocolate War 2023
Channel: Pod Save Chocolate
Date: 2023-03-17

“Big Chocolate” collectively, publicly acknowledged that illegal labor, including child labor and trafficking, was a problem in their cocoa supply chains in West Africa more than twenty years ago.

By becoming signatories to the Harkin-Engel protocol, forming the International Cocoa Initiative, the World Cocoa Foundation, and other entities, the pledged to fix the problem. 

Twenty years on, despite the efforts of tens of thousands thousands of people, thousands of companies and NGO, and despite collectively spending literally billions in private and public money, the problem is arguably worse today than it was twenty years ago.

Leading the fight to hold Big Chocolate accountable are Terry Collingsworth of International Rights Advocates (“IRA”) and documentary filmmaker Miki Mistrati, both of whom will be featured in this episode (99) of #TheChocolateLifeLIVE.
