Chocolate is made from cacao beans. They are
mostly grown in West African countries such as
Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. About 3,200,000 tons of
cacao beans are grown there every year. Japan
imports about 40,000 tons of cacao beans annually
on average, and more than 70 percent are from
Ghana.
Many people enjoy the sweet taste of chocolate,
but have you ever thought about where chocolate
comes from?

Reading Point
In West Africa, cacao farmers are very poor
because their cacao beans are sold at low prices.
Therefore, many parents cannot send their children
to school. Also, they often make their children work
on cacao farms to help them.

According to UNICEF, the number of such

A solution to this issue is the fair trade
This alternative system is based on a
for
between producers and companies that buy their
cacao beans. It guarantees a minimum price f
the beans, so the trading conditions are better for
poor farmers. This allows them to receive a higher
income and improve their lives. As a result, their
children do not need to work on the farms and can
go to school.

Consumers also play an important role in the fair
trade system. It offers them a way to reduce
poverty through everyday shopping. Fair trade
products are usually labeled with a fair trade mark.
Therefore, you can find them easily at shops, and
sometimes even at convenience stores. Your wise
choices through everyday shopping can make a
difference. When you buy chocolate next time, you
should give a little more thought to its bitter truth.

５．
(1) Because their cacao beans are sold at low prices. なぜなら、彼らのカカオ豆は低価格で売られているからです。
質問：なぜ西アフリカのカカオ豆栽培農家の人達は非常に貧しいのですか？
(2) Probably, they don't. 恐らく、彼らは知らないでしょう。
← 2ページ目に、カカオ豆栽培農家はとても貧しく、多くは子供を学校に行かせることができず、その数は5万人程と書いていることから推測
質問：カカオ豆栽培農場で働いている子供達は、チョコレートはカカオ豆から作られているということを知っていますか？

参考にしてください。
