Clay discusses the impact of these price increases on farmers, fine chocolate makers, and smaller chocolate producers, arguing that the current state of the cocoa industry is a result of the practices of big chocolate and cocoa companies over the past 50 years, which have externalized risks and costs onto small farmers. Clay calls for international pressure on Cocoa Boards and for farmers to hold these companies accountable. They also encourage consumers to demand change and consider new business models to support farmers and prevent the market from returning to the status quo.
The episode also touches on the potential shift in cocoa production to new regions and the implications of this for direct trade relationships and farmers.
