>Ghana's exporters have just been banned from exporting. They are going to go out of business very soon. I do. It isn't, necessarily. Quality is becoming much more important now and makers of high quality chocolate are growing in market share. Like coffee, there is more demand for higher quality and less exploitative business models. There is a significant demand for high quality cacao such that producers of chocolate are helping to develop the cacao industry in producing countries to move to a higher quality,less exploitative model. I don't know for certain, but Ghana, and other African countries, may be staking their future on this model, which has been successful in Central and South America, rather than continuing to use egregiously exploitative labor to produce low quality of cacao to sell large quantities to companies like Nestle. More and more, the money is elsewhere.
