Though the fairtrade was set up to provide better wages and working conditions, the small cacao farmers are not getting its benefit. They can’t afford to apply for the expensive certification. So this trade can’t actually take them out of poverty as they claim. Again, in some places, good labor practices are not ensured even after being certified. Countries like West Africa still enforce child labor without any contract. So, for commodities like cacao, coffee etc. greater supervision and monitoring is needed.
