    Yes, the article makes the claim that cocoa farmers' incomes are below the poverty line
    because there is a growing market for affordable cocoa due to the expansion of the
    chocolate business. And in order to maintain their price competitiveness, they are forced
    to exploit underage labor. In light of this, we may draw the conclusion that using child
    labor and engaging in slavery in the chocolate industry is mostly done for financial gain
    in order to maintain market dominance. Children wind up working on cocoa fields
    because they require a well-paying job to help support their family because they are
    aware of the extreme poverty in their surroundings. However, some or possibly the
    majority of these kids are being sold by human traffickers or even by their own family
    members without even being aware of the risk that the children may be taking. They are
    not only depriving these children of the education they need but also giving them the
    cheapest food, forcing them to sleep on wooden planks in tiny, windowless structures
    without access to clean, hygienic restrooms. These further demonstrate that the industry's
    primary objective is to generate revenue because the kids who wind up working on cocoa
    fields are abducted and get inadequate treatment.

    2. Since the chocolate industry have power enough to help the West Africa in their
    socioeconomic development, listed below are some ways they can do to help them:
     Develop and financially support programs to rescue and rehabilitate children who
    have been sold to cocoa farms.
     The industry can pay cocoa farmers a living wage of their product
     Give an information to the public about the sources of their cocoa to address the
    accusation in the industry about child and slave labor

    3. As you mentioned, child slavery on cocoa fields is a huge global problem, thus we are
    being called to work together to stop and end this problem. I suggest that nations and
    organizations from all over the world work together to rescue these unfortunate children
    from their current precarious circumstances. Another is that as technology, particularly the
    media, has developed over time, we can also spread the news through it with only the facts
    and accurate information about this child slavery issue so that the people are fully aware
    of their situation and spread this news as quickly as possible to the world. Saving these
    children, who may have dreams in life and who need protection, education, and lots of care,
    is something that we can do to change not just their lives but also the future of the world in
    which we live.
