P16 . "Increasing farmer Income: We directly support farmers income through the
premiums we pay them, and indirectly through the training and support we
provide on productivity and income diversification. We are piloting models
for increasing productivity and diversifying household income, through
other cash crops and non-farm earnings – in collaboration with suppliers,
expert implementation partners and the Farmer Income Lab. We were the
first chocolate company to support the Living Income Differential fee
enacted by the governments of Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana, and consistently
purchase our cocoa with this fee to support farmers – calling on others to do
the same. "
