  „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.“

  „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.“
