„But producer countries, led by the Ivory Coast, are pressing for manufacturers to pay more, saying that is the only way to prevent child slavery. In May, ministers from the Ivory Coast went to London to tell the UK government that without higher prices nothing could prevent poverty-stricken cocoa farmers from using forced labour.

PR Distribution through United Natural Foods (#)

„Equal Exchange's cocoa products from farmer cooperatives in the Dominican Republic give Americans an immediate, positive way to respond to the reports of chronic poverty, exploited child labor and slavery on cocoa farms in West Africa - the origin of 70% of the world’s cocoa. Even though Americans spend $13 billion a year on cocoa products, low prices paid to farmers have kept them poor, vulnerable and desperate. Thanks to recent pressure the cocoa industry has begun to study the labor problem, but it will not produce voluntary standards for cocoa trading until 2005. Equal Exchange’s cocoa products enable consumers to support a more sustainable and just cocoa economy today.“

„Common programming tasks are described, and many chapters focus on the larger patterns in the frameworks so developers can understand the larger relationships between the classes in Cocoa, which is essential to using the framework effectively. Cocoa in a Nutshell is divided into two parts, with the first part providing a series of overview chapters that describe specific features of the Cocoa frameworks. The second half of the book is a detailed quick reference to Cocoa's Foundation and Application Kit (AppKit) classes. A complement to Apple's documentation, Cocoa in a Nutshell is the only reference to the classes, functions, types, constants, protocols, and methods that make up Cocoa's Foundation and Application Kit frameworks, based on the Jaguar release (Mac OS X 10.2).“

Sweet Maria's Coffee Cupping Reviews: Archive G-K (#)

„It sounds like an odd combination of flavors but somehow it spins itself into a really cohesive taste profile. I all, this is not a sweet cup and leaves me with a chocolate aftertaste as if I had tasted unsweetened cocoa powder. (I remember what a shock it was as a kid to learn that the Hershey's cocoa powder my mom kept in the kitchen was not like like eating a package of instant cocoa, like Swiss Miss.) But despite childhood trauma, this time the unsweetened cocoa taste comes off as a good thing! This coffee is not screened for seed size as much as other Guat.s, so the presence of some small seeds might cause problems in the Alpenrost (not with any other roasters though).“

„It's struck a deal with cocoa farmers in Ghana in West Africa Farmers in Africa harvest cocoa Campaigners for fair trade say big companies don't pay a fair price for the cocoa beans and keep too much money from the chocolate they sell. Because so many people grow cocoa around the world, the companies can look for ages until they find the lowest price possible. Paying a fair price They are able to offer much less money than the farmer wants for their crops because of the farmer doesn't accept the price on offer, the companies will take their business somewhere else. Fair trade companies make sure they pay the farmers enough money to earn a living after covering all their costs.“

„Chemically it consists of a chlorinated isocoumarin moiety linked through a carboxyl group to L-phenylalanine via an amide bond. The major food contaminated by ochratoxin A is cereals but much lower levels of contamination may be found in grape juice and red wine, coffee, cocoa, nuts, spices and dried fruits, and other agricultural products subjected to conditions that result in mould growth. Ochratoxin A is an accepted nephrotoxin  and in animals is a carcinogen and is also teratogenic and immunotoxic. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has set a provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI) of 100 ng/kg body weight although the Canadian authorities have set a lower tolerable daily intake (TDI) of 1.5 to 5.7 ng/kg body weight and the European Commission a TDI of not more than 5 ng/kg body weight (56). “

Amazon.com: Books: Cocoa Recipes for Mac OS X (#)

„In fact, one must plow through 70+ pages before even getting to the first time you are told to build an executable of what you have been working on. This really goes counter to the Cocoa paradigm of ease of application construction- I much prefer a more experimental approach in which small incremental changes are made to the application, so that the effect of new features can be appreciated right away. Here, by the time you rebuild the application, a lot of time has passed since you coded the features, so the connection between the code and the app feature is not so immediate or clear. Also, if there are bugs from your typing, it is hard to fix your app as it has been a long time since a previous build, so for someone new to Cocoa, it can be hard to know where to look for the errors.“

Tea & Coffee 01/02 - The Plight of Coffee’s Children (#)

„In the Knight Ridder piece, “Some Coffee Beans May Also Be Tainted,” journalist Sumana Chatterjee writes that “Chocolate isn’t the only American staple tainted by slavery. In addition to being the king of cocoa, Cote d’Avoire is the world’s fourth-largest Robusta coffee grower, after Vietnam, Indonesia and Uganda. The two crops often are grown together, so the taller cacao trees can shade the coffee bushes, and on some farms, young slaves harvest coffee beans as well as the cacao pods that yield cocoa beans.” In the U.S., about 5% of Robusta beans come from the Cote d’Avoire. “As with cocoa, there’s no way to tell whether a shipment of coffee beans contains beans picked by slaves or those picked by paid workers,” the article states.“

„To the Editor: Flavonoid-rich foods and beverages have putative vascular health benefits, including protection against ischemic stroke and reductions in platelet reactivity.1-5 Tea, grapes, apples, and cocoa contain a class of flavonoids known as the flavanols, which includes epicatechin and catechin. Flavanols can polymerize, producing theaflavins and thearubigins (found in tea) and procyanidins (found in grapes, apples, and cocoa). We previously reported reductions in platelet primary hemostasis and glycoprotein IIb/IIIa expression 2 and 6 hours after subjects consumed 300 mL of cocoa containing a total of 897 mg of flavanols and procyanidins.3 We examined whether smaller amounts of chocolate could affect platelet function.“

„Prior to the collapse in international prices in the early 1990s, Ghana's export unit values were relatively stable at around 75% to 80% of the ICO Robusta Indicator price. With grower prices fixed by the government, levels were maintained by a cross-subsidy from the cocoa sector even during the international price slump after 1989. The low international prices in the early 1990s, combined with the difficulties encountered during the transition to a liberalised market, led to a decline in grower prices immediately after liberalisation. However, from 1993/94 onwards, the grower price has typically been over 65% of the f.o.b.“

While current trends are having devastating consequences across the coffee-producing world, there is an achievable solution.“

Let us say that for some reason you have put together a blend where the three most prominent flavor notes are cherry, dry cocoa and a potent skunkiness (don't look at me, it's your blend!)Now over the course of a year, or maybe even a few months, you start to find it hard to identify the cherry note in the cup, and your skunkiness has turned into a pleasantly soft herbal note. Changing the roast-level of one or more of the components of the blend, or even changing the components themselves, can help you maintain a consistent blend profile.“

„Before the creation of the Office de Produits Agricole Togolais (OPAT), coffee trading in Togo was dominated by a handful of large foreign exporters who purchased coffee directly from the farmer and exported it. In 1964, OPAT was established and became solely responsible for the external marketing of coffee and cocoa. Internal coffee (and cocoa) marketing remained in the hands of the private sector, thus the former exporters became buyers (acheteurs agréés) for OPAT. Grower prices and all marketing margins were fixed annually by OPAT (known as the barème).“
