Yisizini ye-cocoa engxenyeni eseningizimu ye-Ivory Coast.Ama-pods asevuthiwe ukukha, amanye aphenduka aluhlaza okotshani, njengobhanana.
Ngaphandle kwalezi zihlahla azifani nanoma yini engake ngayibona ngaphambili;i-quirk of evolution, babezobheka ekhaya e-CS Lewis' Narnia noma i-Tolkien's Middle-earth: imithwalo yabo eyigugu ayikhuli isuka emagatsheni, kodwa iqonde ngaphandle kwesiqu somuthi.
U-Okthoba, isikhathi esibucayi sonyaka emiphakathini yasemaphandleni empofu kakhulu ethengisa ubhontshisi kakhokho - kanye nakubathandi bakashokoledi, njengoba leli zwe elincane elisenkabazwe eNtshonalanga Afrika likhiqiza ngaphezu kwengxenye eyodwa kwezintathu kakhokho womhlaba.
Ngaphesheya kwe-Ivory Coast, i-cocoa itshalwa emasimini omndeni, ngalinye lingamahektha ambalwa kuphela.Iziqephu ezincane zomhlaba zidluliselwa ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane, indodana ngayinye idonsa kanzima, njengoba nje uyise wangaphambi kwayo.
UJean wathola ifa elingamahektha amabili omhlaba lapho ubaba wakhe eshona eminyakeni eyisikhombisa edlule.Wayeneminyaka engu-11 kuphela ngaleso sikhathi.Eseneminyaka engu-18 kuphela ubudala, usethole ukubonakala njengomuntu oyeke ukuphila kanzima, ebukeka sengathi akanawo ubhontshisi ababili okufanele awuhlikihle.
Kodwa ubhontshisi yinto eyodwa anayo - isaka eligcwele, eboshelwe ngemuva kwebhayisikili lakhe eligqwalile.
Njengoba isidingo somhlaba wonke sikakhokho sidlula kalula ukunikezwa, ubhontshisi kaJean uya ngokuya uba yigugu ezinkampanini zikashokholethi ezinamagama amakhulu, kodwa uma kucatshangelwa ukwehla kwamandla emali, inani lawo lemali lehlile emashumini eminyaka amuva nje.
“Kunzima,” usitshela uJean.“Nginesibindi, kodwa nami ngiyaludinga usizo,” evuma ukuthi udonsa kanzima ukuze aziphilise.
UJean uphansi kwesokudla ochungechungeni olunezendlalelo eziningi emhlabeni wonke olubona ukhokho uguqulwa usuka kubhontshisi uye kwelinye, futhi ngenxa yalokho, ama-cocoa-nomics ayisisekelo amelene naye ngokuqinile.
Abahwebi, abacubungula, abathumeli bangaphandle kanye nabakhiqizi bonke bafuna umkhawulo wabo, futhi ukuze wonke umuntu enze inzuzo, uhlelo lubeka ukuthi uJean - onamandla amancane noma ongenawo nhlobo - athole ubuncane obuncane besikhwama sakhe sikabhontshisi.
Ezweni lapho ukhokho weseka ngokuqondile abantu ababalelwa ezigidini ezi-3.5, i-GDP yonyaka ngomuntu ngamunye ayikho ngaphezu kuka-$1,000.
Ama-cocoa pods aziswa ngokuvulwa kusetshenziswa ocelemba - ithuluzi eliyisisekelo lasehlathini.I-tech ephansi, iyingozi futhi idinga abasebenzi.Futhi ngeshwa, kule ngxenye yomhlaba, izandla eziningi ezincane zenza umsebenzi ongelula.
Udaba lokusetshenziswa kwezingane lukhubaze imboni kashokoledi amashumi eminyaka;futhi naphezu kokufika ekunakeni komhlaba wonke kule minyaka eyi-10 edlule, kuyinkinga engeke iphele.Ehlelekile futhi egxilile emasikweni, izimpande zawo zitholakala ebuphofini obunzima obukhungethe imiphakathi yasemaphandleni: abalimi abangakwazi ukukhokhela abasebenzi abadala basebenzisa izingane esikhundleni salokho.
Ukumisa ukusetshenziswa kwezingane kanye nokwandisa ukufinyelela emfundweni kubonakala njengendlela engcono kakhulu yesikhathi eside yokuletha ukuchuma kulezi zindawo.
Abagxeki bemboni kakhokho kudala bephikisana ngokuthi izinkampani ezifana ne-Nestlé zehlulekile emthwalweni wazo wokuthuthukisa izimpilo zabalimi abatshala ukhokho wabo.
“Uma uzwa inkampani ikhuluma ngokusimama, empeleni abakhuluma ngakho ukusimama kokuthi bakwazi ukuqhubeka nokuthenga ukhokho esikhathini esizayo,” usho kanje.
Kodwa uyavuma ukuthi kukhona intuthuko eseyenziwe."Umbono enginawo owokuthi izinyathelo zamanje ezithathwayo empeleni zibaluleke kakhulu kunalokho esikubonile esikhathini esidlule".
UFrançois Ekra ungumnikazi wensimu engamahektha ayisikhombisa edolobheni laseGagnoa.Uphinde abe ngumongameli womfelandawonye wakubo wokulima, okhiqiza amathani angaba ngu-1,200 kabhontshisi kakhokho ngonyaka.
UFrançois udweba isithombe esikhathazayo ngekusasa lemboni kashokoledi: Intengo kakhokho emiswe uhulumeni iphansi kakhulu;izihlahla zigugile futhi ziyagula;imifelandawonye efana neyakhe ayikwazi ukuthola imali yokutshala ikusasa.
Ngakho kancane kancane, uma irabha ikhokhelwa kangcono sizoyiyeka i-cocoa ngoba [thina] abalimi bakakhokho sisebenzela ize.”
Uyabazi abalimi abawufulathela ngokuphelele ukhokho: Lapho izihlahla zikakhokho zazimi khona, amasimu enjoloba manje ayamila - anemali eningi futhi akhiqiza unyaka wonke.
Futhi njengasemazweni amaningi ase-Afrika, imiphakathi yasemaphandleni iyasuka ezimpandeni zayo, ifuna ukuphila okungcono ngokuhlanganyela noquqaba lwabantu enhloko-dolobha i-Abidjan.
Ekugcineni ubhontshisi womlimi uthengwa abadayisi noma abaphakathi abasebenza
