Explain LID [0] which is effectively a tax applied to every ton of cocoa sold of which most is paid to the farmers. However I think Ghana is in the wrong here because extorting other nations to give them anything free of charge by withholding trade goods will simply means that the trade goods will eventually be sourced elsewhere. Regardless what you think about rich vs poor, medicine vs goods, and such, IP is property and using a world wide organization to deprive another of their rights is never a good idea. (no whataboutism please). Yes it is medicine, yes it is important, but that does not mean it has to be free. It should be something that can be negotiated but going nuclear in trade never benefits anyone and usually affects the poorest of world the most. My suggestion, just up the LID [0]https://www.uncommoncacao.com/blog/2020/10/20/the-lid-in-ghana-and-cote-divoire https://www.uncommoncacao.com/blog/2020/10/20/the-lid-in-gha...
