The farmer’s story is romanticised with flavour profiles and smiling faces, while the reality for the farmers toiling under the scorching sun to produce this commodity is often a simple tale of hard work and living hand to mouth. The recent turbulence in cocoa market prices highlights this disconnect between the cocoa farmers’ struggles and the fluctuating fortunes of the industry. And we see it first hand.
