Cocoa organizations in Cote D’Ivoire and Ghana are reviewing the status of all cocoa sustainability and certification programs to put greater emphasis on implementing the living income differential (LID) the countries established in July.
Representatives from the West African countries — which produce two-thirds of the world’s cocoa — agreed to a $400 per metric tonne differential in the 2020-2021 season with the goal of supporting the countries’ cocoa farmers.
