60 percent of cocoa production is from Ghana and the Ivory Coast, namely West Africa.
According to the International Workers Rights Forum, there are 2.3 million children working on cocoa farms. Child labor often results from poverty and, in the worst case, modern slavery
This issue started to draw attention in recent years, many journalists went to Ivory Coast to shed more light on the situation; However, the country's government officials were bothered by this interest and detained several journalists who wanted to reveal the secrets of the hidden cocoa industry. One of these journalists is Teun van de Keuken, founder of the Dutch company Tonys Chocolonely.
Teun struggled to prevent the exploitation of cocoa pairs of the workers. He even went to the court to hire a lawyer for himself that he was involved in the crime of child labor exploitation by eating chocolate and therefore he should be jailed. The court found it free and released itself. Teun van de Keuken demonstrated that chocolate could be produced in the cocoa industry without worker exploitation at the end of this move.
The first Tony's Chocolonely bar was born on November 29, 2005: it is a milk chocolate bar packed in red. It has a remarkable appearance with its fair trade and 100% slave-free writing on the package. It has been taking place in markets since 2005.
You will see that chocolate, which draws attention with its design, is different from other chocolate molds when you open the package. The chocolate bar is not created equally, which reflects the inequality in the cocoa industry.
He donates 1% of Tony's Chocolonely net income to projects aimed at creating a chocolate-free chocolate industry.
