Kudos to Cadbury! I was excited to hear this morning on the BBC that Cadbury's Dairy Milk brand is set to become "Fairtrade certified". This would mean that hardworking cocoa farmers in my country Ghana will now be paid a guaranteed minimum price for their cocoa even if open market cocoa prices fall below this minimum. Cynicism and suspicion aside, this is good news for Ghana and even more exhilarating for some of us who hail from cocoa farmer stock from the deepest hinterlands of Ghana. Time for me to ditch the day job and get back to working the land! On another note, it would be great to see more Fairtrade certification for other products from developing countries.
