chocolate sold in europe comes mainly from west africa but the profits are made in europe. economists wants to change that and revolutionize the market by producing chocolate in africa. i think you're finished with the world for the moment when i started talking about my idea people said i was crazy hendrik don't even try you'll be ruined if it had potential the big players would already be doing it. but the big players weren't doing it refused to give up and has made pioneering strides to produce truly fair chocolates in africa . on business. he set up a pioneering operation here that's brought. chocolate made in africa onto the european markets. sixty to seventy percent of the sales price goes to chocolate producers in europe consuming countries get the biggest share that's a gross injustice. to effect real change and generate income in coca growing countries in twenty thirteen cocoa farmers while backpacking in west africa he realized that no european company was producing chocolate and decided to start his own twenty sixteen he found it there a freak. like you guys were
