Africa's Boldest Move Since Independence

Africa grows two-thirds of the world's cocoa, yet cocoa farmers in Ghana and Ivory Coast stay poor while the global chocolate industry profits. Now four African countries have formed a cocoa alliance to end raw cocoa exports, and the media rushed to call it the OPEC of cocoa. They missed the point. In this documentary, we investigate the Abuja Declaration signed by Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast and Cameroon, the 2019 cocoa cartel experiment that raised prices by hundreds of dollars per tonne while farmers earned half a living income, the EU regulations quietly forcing Africa's hand, and why this alliance was never really about cocoa prices at all. If this plan works, it becomes the blueprint for coffee, cashew, lithium and every resource Africa has spent a century exporting raw. By the end, you'll read one falling number completely differently than the rest of the world does. Which African commodity should run this playbook next: coffee, cashew, or lithium?
