"Wenn die Länder des Überflusses den Entwicklungsländern
gerechte Preise für ihre Produkte zahlen würden,
könnten sie ihre Unterstützung und ihre Hilfspläne für sich behalten."

These countries produce the majority of the world’s raw cocoa beans. But of course, the industry as a whole is controlled by western multinationals such as Hershey, Nestlé and Cadbury-Schweppes (now Kraft). The structure of this industry – vertically integrated – is very typical of the relationship between the LDCs( Least Developed Countries) and the developed world.

From raw beans, to roasting, milling, refining, manufacturing of chocolate or cocoa, shipping and packaging, branding and advertising – all of these stages add value to the product, value which is garnered by the MNC.
