Kodwa nakuba abantu baseMelika bedla amakhilogremu ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-2.8 kashokoledi osheshayo omnandi unyaka ngamunye, ukunikezwa okuthengwa yimboni yesevisi yokudla kukhulu ngokulinganayo, futhi abalimi bakakhokho kufanele baklonyeliswe, kukhona uhlangothi olumnyama kulokhu kusetshenziswa.Amapulazi aphethwe yimindeni le mboni ethembele kuwo aweneme.Abalimi be-cocoa bakhokhelwa kancane ngangokunokwenzeka, baphoqeleke ukuba baphile ngaphansi komugqa wobumpofu, futhi ukuhlukunyezwa kuyaqhubeka ngokubamba iqhaza komsebenzi wezingane.Ngokuwa kokungalingani okukhulu embonini kashokoledi, imikhiqizo evame ukujabulisa manje ishiya ukunambitheka okubi emlonyeni.Lokhu kuthinta isevisi yokudla ngoba abapheki nabanye embonini babhekene nokukhetha phakathi kokusimama nokwenyuka kwamanani entengo.
Phakathi neminyaka edlule, abalandeli bakashokoledi omnyama e-United States baye baqhubeka bekhula-futhi ngesizathu esihle.Akukholakali futhi kuyilungele impilo yakho.Emakhulwini eminyaka, i-cocoa yayisetshenziselwa izinjongo zokwelapha yodwa, futhi amaqiniso aye afakazela ukuthi abantu basendulo babeqinisile.Ushokoledi omnyama uqukethe i-flavanols ne-magnesium, okuyizakhi ezimbili eziyisisekelo ezilungele inhliziyo nobuchopho.Nakuba inomphumela omuhle kulabo abawudlayo, labo abatshala ubhontshisi kakhokho bahlushwa inhliziyo ebuhlungu ngenxa yamanani aphansi angenabuntu emikhiqizo kabhontshisi kakhokho.Isilinganiso semali engenayo yonyaka yomlimi we-cocoa cishe i-US$1,400 kuya ku-US$2,000, okwenza isabelomali sabo sosuku sibe ngaphansi kwe-US$1.Ngokusho kweManchester Media Group, abalimi abaningi abanayo enye indlela ngaphandle kokuphila ngobumpofu ngenxa yokwabiwa kwenzuzo ngokungalingani.Izindaba ezinhle ukuthi ezinye izinhlobo zisebenza kanzima ukuthuthukisa imboni.Lokhu kuhlanganisa i-Tony's Chocolonely yaseNetherlands, ehlonipha abalimi bakakhokho ekunikezeni isinxephezelo esifanelekile.Izinhlobo zezinhlobo ezisengozini yokushabalala kanye nokuhwebelana okulinganayo nakho kwenza lokhu, ngakho ikusasa lemboni kashokoledi ligcwele ithemba.
Ngenxa yamanani aphansi akhokhelwa izinkampani ezinkulu kubalimi, ukusetshenziswa kwezingane okungekho emthethweni manje sekukhona ezindaweni ezikhiqiza ukhokho eNtshonalanga Afrika.Empeleni zingu-2.1 million izingane eziqashwe emapulazini ngenxa yokuthi abazali noma ogogo nomkhulu abasakwazi ukuqasha abasebenzi.Ngokwemibiko eminingana lezi zingane azisafundi, okwengeza umthwalo embonini kashokoledi.U-10% kuphela wenzuzo yonke yale mboni eya emapulazini, okwenza kube nzima ukuthi la mabhizinisi emindeni abhalise ngokusemthethweni umsebenzi wawo futhi ayikhiphe ebuphofini.Okwenza izinto zibe zimbi nakakhulu, izingane ezilinganiselwa ku-30 ​​000 embonini kakhokho eNtshonalanga Afrika zashushumbiswa zaba izigqila.
Abalimi basebenzisa umsebenzi wezingane ukuze balondoloze ukuncintisana kwentengo, noma ngabe kungazizuzisi bona.Nakuba leli pulazi lisephutheni lokuqhubeka nalo mkhuba ngenxa yokuntuleka kweminye imisebenzi kanye nokuntula imfundo okungenzeka ukuthi inkulu, umfutho omkhulu wokusetshenziswa kwezingane usesezandleni zezinkampani ezithenga ukhokho.Uhulumeni waseNtshonalanga Afrika okungaphansi kwawo la mapulazi nawo unomthwalo wemfanelo wokulungisa izinto, kodwa futhi uphikelela ekunikeleni amapulazi kakhokho wendawo, okwenza kube nzima ukumisa ngokuphelele ukusetshenziswa kwezingane endaweni.
Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi iminyango ehlukahlukene idinga ukusebenzisana ukuze ivimbele ukusetshenziswa kwezingane emapulazini e-cocoa, kodwa uguquko olukhulu lungenzeka kuphela uma inkampani ethenga i-cocoa inikeza amanani angcono.Kuyaphazamisa futhi ukuthi inani lomkhiqizo wemboni kashokoledi lifinyelela ezigidini zezigidi zamaRandi, futhi ngo-2026, imakethe yomhlaba wonke kulindeleke ukuthi ifinyelele ku-171.6 billion dollars.Lesi sibikezelo sisodwa singasho yonke indaba-uma kuqhathaniswa nokudla, uma kuqhathaniswa nenkonzo yokudla kanye nezimakethe zokudayisa, izinkampani zithengisa ushokoledi ngamanani aphezulu nokuthi zikhokha malini ngezinto zokusetshenziswa ezisetshenzisiwe.Ukucubungula kuyacatshangelwa ngempela ekuhlaziyeni, kodwa noma ngabe ukucubungula kufakiwe, amanani aphansi abalimi okumele babhekane nawo awaphusile.Akumangalisi ukuthi intengo kashokoledi ekhokhwa ngumsebenzisi wokugcina ayizange ishintshe kakhulu, ngoba ipulazi lithwala umthwalo omkhulu.
I-Nestlé ingumphakeli omkhulu kashokoledi.Ngenxa yokusetshenziswa kwezingane eNtshonalanga Afrika, i-Nestlé iye yaba nephunga elimangalisayo eminyakeni embalwa edlule.Umbiko we-Washington Post wathi u-Nestlé, kanye no-Mars noHershey, bathembisa ukuthi bazoyeka ukusebenzisa ukhokho oqoqwe ukusetshenziswa kwezingane eminyakeni engu-20 edlule, kodwa imizamo yabo ayizange iyixazulule le nkinga.Lizibophezele ekumiseni nasekuvimbeleni ukusetshenzwa kwezingane ngohlelo lwayo olubanzi lokuqapha ukusetshenziswa kwezingane.Njengamanje, uhlelo lwayo lokuqapha selusungulwe emiphakathini engaphezu kwe-1,750 e-Côte d'Ivoire.Lolu hlelo lwaqala ukusetshenziswa eGhana.I-Nestlé iphinde yethula i-Cocoa Project ngo-2009 ukuze ithuthukise izimpilo zabalimi futhi isize izingane nemindeni yazo.Le nkampani ithe kusizindalwazi segatsha layo laseMelika ukuthi lo mkhiqizo awukubekezeleli neze ukushushumbiswa nobugqila.Inkampani iyavuma ukuthi nakuba kusekuningi okumele kwenziwe.
U-Lindt, omunye wabathengisi abakhulu bakashokoledi, ubexazulula le nkinga ngohlelo lwayo oluqhubekayo lwe-cocoa, oluzuzisa kakhulu imboni yesevisi yokudla ngoba akusadingeki bakhathazeke ngezinkinga ezijwayelekile ngalesi sithako..Kungashiwo ukuthi ukuthola okuhlinzekwayo kwa-Lint kuyindlela enhle yokwakha uchungechunge lokuhlinzeka oluzinzile.Inkampani kashokoledi yaseSwitzerland isanda kutshala izigidi ezingu-14 zamarandi ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ushokoledi wayo uyalandeleka futhi uyaqinisekiswa.
Nakuba ukulawula okuthile embonini kwenziwa ngemizamo ye-World Cocoa Foundation, American Fair Trade, UTZ kanye neTropical Rainforest Alliance, kanye ne-International Fair Trade Organization, uLint unethemba lokuba nokulawula okuphelele ochungechungeni lwabo lokukhiqiza ukuze baqinisekise konke ukuhlinzeka Konke kuyasimeme futhi kunobulungiswa.U-Lindt wethula uhlelo lwakhe lwezolimo eGhana ngo-2008 futhi kamuva wandisa lolu hlelo e-Ecuador naseMadagascar.Ngokombiko kaLindt, bangu-3,000 sebebonke abalimi abahlomule kulolu hlelo lwase-Ecuador.Umbiko ofanayo uphinde waveza ukuthi lolu hlelo luqeqeshe ngempumelelo abalimi abangu-56,000 ngokusebenzisa i-Source Trust, omunye wabalingani be-NGO kaLindet.
I-Ghirardelli Chocolate Company, eyingxenye ye-Lindt Group, nayo izibophezele ekunikezeni ushokoledi oqhubekayo kubasebenzisi bokugcina.Eqinisweni, ngaphezu kwama-85% okunikezwa kwawo kuthengwa ngohlelo lwezolimo lukaLindt.Njengoba u-Lindt no-Ghirardelli benza konke okusemandleni abo ukuze banikeze inani lempahla yabo, imboni yesevisi yokudla akudingeki ikhathazeke uma kuziwa ezindabeni zokuziphatha kanye namanani abawakhokhelayo ekuthengeni izitolo ezinkulu.
Nakuba ushokoledi uzoqhubeka nokuduma emhlabeni wonke, ingxenye enkulu yemboni idinga ukushintsha ukwakheka kwayo ukuze kuhlangatshezwane neholo eliphezulu labakhiqizi bakabhontshisi kakhokho.Izintengo eziphakeme ze-cocoa zisiza imboni yesevisi yokudla ukuthi ilungiselele ukudla okunokuziphatha okuhle nokuqhubekayo, kuyilapho iqinisekisa ukuthi labo abadla ukudla banciphisa injabulo yabo enecala.Ngenhlanhla, ziyanda izinkampani ezandisa imizamo yazo.
