Believe it or not, chocolate can be scary
Every year, Americans spend over a billion dollars on millions of pounds of chocolate for Halloween. Most conventional chocolate comes from West Africa, where low prices make farmers' lives difficult. And the chocolate industry is notorious for child labor, slave labor, and other abuses.
Fair Trade chocolate is different. Equal Exchange works directly with farmers in Latin America, where we pay a fair price for cacao. Farmers can support their families, care for the environment and invest in the future. And because we know our partners, we can verify that there are no skeletons in the closet. Read more >>
