but only three fourths of them closer to the new views of what draws up in the words not voting in the rules. are controversial leader who successors beyond question. time. one tragedy starts to feel for long t.w. . this is deja news africa coming up in the next fifteen minutes adding value to africa's resources most of goddess cocoa is exported rule we'd meet the women making balls from the beans. receiving bread you think donna you think grupo you think girl chocolate never comes to mind fifty seven chocolate is changing that britain saying that you're gonna became a free nation the makers want to revive the can do spirit of that independence year . and two years off to kenya announced the world's toughest ban on single use

plastic bags the alternative that was introduced is now also being a correspondent in nairobi has that story. i'm christine when global come to africa i'm glad your change in gaza is a giant when it comes to cocoa production the west african country exports off the beam a second only to neighboring ivory coast in fact gonna exports cocoa beans with about two billion u.s. dollars. but it is a net importer of chocolate spending up to eight million dollars a year on the sweet stuff now that's according to what rather that starting to change as going to see is a new generation of autism chocolate produces springing up there taking a resource that ghana has in abundance and adding value to the raw material.

ths kwesi a wood is an expert when it comes to cocoa farming but he's not that fond of chocolate he travel have a plate of fries to eat it's really wild preferred food rewards one knew it did it will work. through one yes strong well for a dog that is a. through i was food in the capital accra the start up companies trying to change that view they are hoping to inspire guy names was exotic creations like a biscuit chocolate. this moment in that very helpful brad experiment and that's how we end up developing a lot of our play really if i have to do this pot that and then we have the. people who pay for our i pad product by the head my chocolate produce she is small for

luxury product that was so mainly in the capital go straight to export to systems set up the company about three years ago and then they faced many challenges ranging from constant power outages to corrupt officials who made life difficult for the small company. but they're determined to keep on with alexy chocolate and not just leave the field to the big multinational food companies. it takes a lot of endurance to definitely run a chocolate business karen and just to represent using our resources at home to actually produce the finished goods care. so fifty seven chocolate is really putting the gloss on gonna ask local now that's just a commons gunness cocoa from us to become chocoholics. and i'm happy to welcome to deeds every nice africa kimberley edison you saw in the report she is the co-founder of fifty seven chocolates and she's coming to us from accra in ghana hi

kimberly so as we saw in our report fair we have a cocoa farmer who's not so keen on chocolates variant ghana and so i wonder what market is more important to you would it be the export market or the domestic market well it's actually both i would say both are equally important because the truth is we have to start locally in order to. globally so right now as we do so and rashly tackling both market so we're tackling our iraqi piece here in terms of ritual create more awareness and create greater desire for consumption of chocolate here in ghana and then equally so is a global. consumer of consumable and so we're definitely also tackling the global market as well because it's a huge market out there and these in the in europe and in the. in age we have

clients all over the world so it's definitely local and global. local and global but how did you come to the idea of making art is no chocolates in guyana what was the inspiration. well the inspiration actually came to us when we fourteen my sister and i and one thing is we were actually living in geneva switzerland at the time and we all know that switzerland is very much known for its chocolate and ghana known for its cocoa and you happen to be visiting with us until and largest factory. and it was for the first time that most of ghana's cocoa is actually brought to switzerland and processed there and we actually found out towards the latter part of last year that fifty seven percent ironically of ghana scoble actually gets sent to switzerland and so we couldn't comprehend why ghana had the resources it was not making a finished product out of it and so that's what inspired us we wanted to add value

to a local resource right here at home because the truth is there is value in cocoa but there's more value in adding. in making it into chocolate and making it into a finished goods so that's what we're trying to do here the name of your company fifty seven chocolate references to get that gonna became an independent nation what were you trying to evoke. so i was trying to go best spirit behind independence so it's named nine hundred fifty seven chocolate after independence one nine hundred fifty seven however it's more so not about being freed from colonial power but it's about this very palace behind in the pendant and that's why our manufacturing was one of creating what a lot of people don't know was shortly after independence had a lot of thriving industries that are no longer in existence today we have major problems being in factories we had ten industries the actually has a thriving dairy industry which is no longer in existence today and somewhere

between one nine hundred fifty seven and now we live the shift of producing and consuming made in ghana is going to have the least importing things and so now we import tomatoes we import chocolate we import right the important lot of seeing and so we want to and then we are complicated seventh miner we imply reawaken people the fact that if we wanted to go down and develop as a nation we have to manufacture we have to create and can fill me in and i'm like a. camcorder out colleagues on the africa team was kind enough to bring back a box off your chocolate we have. dropped chocolate with c. salt and i wonder what your favorite is so i love i love the dire talk and see you thought so it's not him depends on my mood. to talk with you thought it was actually one of my favorites and then i would say the next my next neighbor it would actually be. with all names and few thought the calling the nominator insults

as they thought that basically a live child and really bring to an interesting player if the as and the box is empty i will tell you that can be at the same co-founder off fifty seven chocolates from a crowd gonna. change. in twenty seventeen kenya announced the world's toughest ban on single use plastic bags for bidding their imports manufacture and useful commercial and private purposes since then non woven bags have been a popular alternative for most businesses but now even these have been outlawed kenya's national environment management a lawyer he says they are just as bad as ordinary plastic bags this is no ruby river a symbol of kenya's struggle to fight pollution in two thousand and seventeen the government banned single use plastic bags to reduce the amount of plastics in the environment they were replaced with non woven poly proposal and bags which are supposed to be reusable but from the looks of this riverbank it seems these bags do

more harm than good there was a vacuum and none of them boxed into the market but when they came into the market the wire that tensile strength was too high and they were they had this that i think nets and they were large enough and they were costing. i don't entirety in fifty conditions so they were to use a. and at the time we were not worried. the national environment management authority says that says the bad the market has been flooded with substandard non woven poly proponent bags they can only be used once and people have often thrown them away improperly the environment authorities felt forced to act the national environmental management authority has banned the importation and manufacture of these non woven bags and are now looking for alternatives that don't pose a threat to the environment. many kenyans support the latest bad

news in my three new bags i just like other plastic bags they pollute the environment for. some environmentalists feel that the government should not just pass regulations but also improve waste management from where i sit i think that perhaps you could do a little better in terms of planning and what we need to think about these long term management of this kind of material and how they are going to be disposed of. in the event that they're not useful anymore. to the economy. kenya still lags behind in waste management with recycling eva done by private companies or informally by people who work at dump sites. but still no alternative to the non woven bags perhaps this latest battle forced kenyans to be more aware of
