9:07 am
he said you still miss we're at 0 pretty don't deny that defies that's the only time i didn't formally protest just us additional ballot i don't want to traffic will show issue that. is that was event. over the past 10 years the chocolate industry committed to do whatever they could to save the forests and send children to school but what happens to these good intentions once you hit the road and go on the field. this is on be john howard economic capital of ivory coast the country accounts for 50 percent of the world's cocoa production without knowing it we mostly eat ivorian cocoa there are no joined cocoa plantations monitored by multinationals in ivory
9:08 am
coast nor elsewhere cocoa is grown by hundreds of thousands of promise on small isolated pockets. it will then go through a long chain of brokers. it gets johns phone before ending on a supermarket shelf. we will try to go upstream own that chain until the soldiers go with foreign bodies and not expect it. at the far west of the country 8 hours away. a from the capital city stunned the great forests 40 percent of 5 bowler in cocoa comes from that. we are still on the main road but when they see our camera some kids run away or sign we're getting closer to the cocoa and.

9:10 am
you do up as it. is you know. again your shallowness and if you look. right now. we are about 10 kilometers from liberia this is one of the last protected forests in west africa the ground to be a forest. what's left of the. trees stand out like the big white skeletons. they have been killed to give ground to cocoa old but green underneath the white wood is cocoa. illegal plantation this forest is protected no one can claim property on apostle let alone grow anything on it. in theory access has to be granted by the water and forests department so therefore
9:11 am
is the state agency in charge of the protection of forestry. but the law doesn't apply here. after a 4 hour ride on trucks we reach an unknown author launched settlement. this is a lawless. plunder stun farmers took hold of a forest that doesn't belong to them we better not say what journalists in the heart of the forest everyone is suspicious and ivorian and geo member 'd is leader . will. hire own 40 people who live on this camp in hunts men and children only they drink the water from the river and eat the anonymous and custom of they grow in the forest. they pick the cocoa pods and cut them open with machetes. back to have

9:40 am
farmers by building schools for instance and this is a promise cooper web is bound to keep. you know income ideas or falsity she really she was should already know said on the memo on the screen the premier goes into the 6 year old i'm going to cope with that. he started providing oh. my. god i think this was to do. here with an issue that i perceive this year that it was. you i was already. so i didn't know i lived. in from. you know.
