  1. So ignore basic principles of economics until then? If Cocoa from Ghana in a dry, powdered form is cheaper to transport than dairy milk that is 80% water from where it rains, at what cost are you proposing Ghanaians get paid, what cost are you proposing it would be better for anybody to then ship chocolate back to those customers? Africa is supposed to be almost half the world by 2100, importing technology is happening and they will become an indebted nation much like any other, stopping exporting and expecting a natural progression of learning isn't going to happen in this time frame so they will follow in the wests footsteps while thinking they are free..

  2. Oh my goodness... it's like you don't understand economics, or chocolate, I was talking about chocolate, there's an ad out at the moment for whittakers chocolate, now I don't know if you know but chocolate is made with milk, they have an ad in NZ where they say "we take cocoa from ghana and combine it with fresh milk from NZ cows"...now this is the point you seem to be missing, milk is heavy, at around 3% fat it weighs over a ton for a square metre, milk fat when it comes out the cow is around 15% that they use and they use milk fat so a sq metre could weigh 1.5 ton, cocoa and ghana produces 800,000 ton's of cocoa bean....What you are saying is Ghana should import the heavier product instead of exporting the lighter one, a sq metre of dried and roasted cocoa, they should import possibly three times as much weight, ton's of milk fat, the more expensive option? Then once you have increased the price, you are going to ship the heavier product further, back to the customers in NZ. Please tell me how you think this would work better for the consumer, therfore the producer? I'm not sure why Brics is mentioned but it's not about the staus quo, as we in the west are right now having to go through the idea of how are we going to transition to a post capitalism society, we need to move past it. You demanding that you should go down the same path of the west, that is currently killing the planet, is you being fooled into thinking that they way of the west is what should be followed.  @cDTeVe

  3. The problem with following the western way of doing things and Africa will because, the inhabitant believe the myths of what money means, then Africa and the poor of the world will be the destruction of the planet. There is no way around this if they treat money creation the same way. At the moment money is created through debt, created into existence by central banks, who then charge interest immediately. When you say it might not happen in our lifetime, well that depends on how old you are but in 80 years they will be almost half the planet and there are modern cities now pumping as much debt as they can into the economy, the Chinese are loaning money for projects instead of aid and food, or free clothes like western policies that keep industry down in those countries keeping people poor. We have to understand poverty is a man made problem, if you have your own land, your own food source with animals etc for clothes but very little money because you are self sufficient, but below the poverty line. I would call them richer than somebody renting an apartment with a good job. The western mode of poverty should not be something we feed into just because of what we are told is progress.  @Boke-ji2ng

  4. You are asking for Africa to have goods like milk from NZ to be shipped to Africa to make chocolate and then it's got to go back to NZ?? How does the heavier product milk fat make sense to be shipped instead of dried cocoa from Africa if most of the customers are back in the west? @johnnyb3987

  6. This is silly. You are fighting for the same system that is wrecking the west and the world. Saying you shouldn't send dry powder to a place where it rains, instead you should bring dairy fat to ghana... This is so silly.
