Great conference #AfricaTeaConvention . We at ETP are pleased to play our part in the six countries where we undertake programmatic work. Worth mentioning again that ETP is NOT a standards body and we do not Certify. We leave that to the experts!! #tea #HREDD #poverty

Tea prices have hardly moved in decades
Yet still there is a drive to irrationally continue to produce significantly more tea than can be consumed. This is not sustainable. Sadly markets can continue to be irrational longer than farmers can remain solvent. #AfricaTeaConvention

The tea business model is predicated on an endless supply of cheap labour in producing countries. My belief is that this is a totally flawed thought process.

Great discussions being held at the EATTA 6th African Tea Convention in Kigali. Well attended by Ministers from Rwanda as well as Kenya and Uganda. Poverty still a major issue and the cause of so many ills that plague the supply chain in tea.

I'm honoured to join @ethicaltea at such an exciting time in our evolution. The sector is facing complex challenges and changes â including poverty, gender-based violence, and embedding HREDD into business practices. #tea #hrdd #poverty

I welcome the launch of @Nestle's income accelerator. Any advancement that puts the welfare of the #cocoa farmer front and centre is worth applauding.
Remember - you can change people's behaviour by how you compensate them.

An excellent overview of the challenges we face and why we must put farmer #poverty at the core. Supply management is also needed to guarantee that higher prices ensure that there is no need for child labour and further deforestation #CocoaSustainability ow.ly/xUvU50HELnj

Looking forward to the next EU-AU Summit and discussions on addressing cocoa farmer poverty. We wonât solve deforestation or child labor without decisive action on poverty. euractiv.com/section/africa/âŠ

When traceability protocols are rolled out in the cocoa supply chain letâs make sure that this positively impacts the price of cocoa for those farmers that have changed behaviour. Letâs make sure that there is a substantial price difference between âgoodâ and âbadâ Cocoa.

A simple question. Can there be a sustainable cocoa supply chain without addressing farmer poverty? Of course not. So letâs address it front and centre.

Feel incredibly privileged to have meet both a cocoa farmer and the Prime Minister of CĂŽte dâIvoire, Patrick Achi during my visit to West Africa. A humbling experience on both accounts.
