The Ivorian Fair Trade Network is advocating for fair prices for producers following a cocoa price reduction.
The network, which represents cocoa producers, also is calling for a commitment to the Living Income Differential for farmers. The LID is a new pricing structure for cocoa created with an agreement between Ghana and Ivory Coast and it requires all companies buying cocoa from either of the two countries to pay more per ton above the market selling price. It went into effect for the 2020/21 season.
