@OgdenM Not the same as slavery, they can stop working tomorrow if they wanted to and get into another trade. Slavery ended long time ago and it doesn't explain why some former colonies are doing great while others cannot even feed their own population.

nobody is stopping them. Just the warm weather and the lack of domestic demand makes it a lost cause. Also making chocolate is complex you need expensive machinery and people with know-how.

The people complaining about capitalism still wants cheap stuff. They will complain about it then go buy cheap products and complaining it's too expensive not realizing they are part of the problem they are whining about online.

Ghana is a free independent country, they are free to make their own trade deals. Even if what you said is true - which it isn't - it would be the Ghanan government and its people that voted them in putting themselves in that situation.

Durian theme chocolate..... of course those types would be better in Asia, very few people know what durian is in the west, there is no market for it outside Asia. I don't even know where to buy Durian fruit in my home country in the west. We don't really eat Durian here. The only reason I know what Durian is is because I lived in Asia for 8 years.

It's always easy pointing your finger at someone else and calling yourself a victim. Who is stopping them from opening up their own processing plants and making their own products? Nobody is holding a gun to their heads, you want to open up a processing plant and chocolate factory in Ghana you are free to do so. There are no shackles, only the ones in your head keeping you down.
