Deforestation and child labor, a concern

H.E Diana Acconcia, EU Ambassador to Ghana addressing the forum said the issue of child labor and deforestation in cocoa growing countries remain a major concern for the Europeans who were the world’s largest market for cocoa and housing the largest chocolate and confectionary manufacturers.

“Sustainability, economic, social and environmental issues have been high on the political agenda in Europe for many years now. But in the last few years these issues have acquired a new prominence.”

Diana Acconcia

Ms Acconcia revealed that the launch of the European Green Deal, a new growth model that would bring Europe to be carbon neutral by 2050, had put sustainability at the centre of the EU’s policy making.

“It is in this context that the EU has started to work on legislation on deforestation and due diligence obligations for business that will cover a number of key commodities, cocoa included.”

Diana Acconcia

The legislation when passed will prohibit products that contribute to the destruction of forests outside the EU from being placed on the EU market.

Ms Acconcia assured of the EU’s commitment to a continuous multi-stakeholder dialogues to ensure a long-term sustainability of the cocoa value chain in both producing and consuming countries.
