cocoa farmers' rights

Cocoa farmers' rights refer to their entitlement to fair treatment, including access to land, resources, and knowledge needed for sustainable cultivation. They have the right to earn a fair income, protect their environment, and participate in decisions affecting their communities. International agreements and certifications aim to ensure farmers are not exploited, receive fair prices, and benefit from their work. Respecting these rights promotes ethical sourcing, improves livelihoods, and supports sustainable development in cocoa-producing regions.
