This is heartwarming, they should be given a truckload.
Not only do they get to taste something that is new and sweet but it must be encouraging to know in what ways the result of your hard work is used for.
I wonder what would happen if they had the means to produce their own chocolate.
"This is why white people are so healthy"
Haha oh the irony.

Low quality cheap chocolate with small production, for local market.

At 2 Euros a bar, they'd be swimming in dough.

Well, it'd probably have a native flavour to it depending on how they make it. I've heard of Beyers chocolate, which is made in South Africa, but I don't know how exactly a Central African chocolatier would perform his craft, considering that I haven't heard of any Central African chocolatiers.

2 euros is very expensive. A bar of chocolate is 1 euro tops here
This is awesome. They seem like really great people. I'd love to help them with their work if the environment was always that friendly.

Not to mention he only earns 7,50 euros per day. That's what most people earn in an hour.

It's strange because the narrator was talking about the price of a bar in the Netherlands while you can easily get one here for less than a euro too.

They would become healthy and their skin whitens

Encouraging to know that their hard labour goes to feeding first world countries a luxury that their labour creates but they can't even afford? Hardly encouraging to know that foreign companies enrich themselves off your labour and you get hardly enough to survive.
do they really put white people on a pedestal like that? they talk like they're some kind of higher being.
Admittedly, they're probably pretty rare in the IC. Not only that, but stories likely get passed around about places like the US and the EU and the higher standards of living there
These people are so alienated from the product of their labour that it is really quite depressing.
Am I correct in saying that export rates for processed cocoa products as opposed to raw beans are artificially high so that the corporations can get all the profit by getting it at a rock bottom raw material pricing and processing it into chocolate, etc. after it gets into the richer countries?

they are simply aware the whites dominate the global economic system they partake in by producing goods that are bought by foreign corporations
[QUOTE=Tmaxx;45536729]do they really put white people on a pedestal like that? they talk like they're some kind of higher being.[/QUOTE]
Yep. That's what happens when there is very little education and people just toil away to get by and get ripped off for what their product is actually worth to the world meaning they can't even afford to educate their children let alone themselves.
[QUOTE=luverofJ!93;45536930]they are simply aware the whites dominate the global economic system they partake in by producing goods that are bought by foreign corporations[/QUOTE]
This. White folks control most of the businesses like that and they're aware of it.
[QUOTE=Tmaxx;45536729]do they really put white people on a pedestal like that? they talk like they're some kind of higher being.[/QUOTE]
they probably never see any white people, all they hear about is their global endeavors far out of their own capabilities
What language are they speaking in the documentary? The narrator that is. I keep hearing words that sound very similar to Swedish.

Seems like French
That's the official language of IC anyway
These people work their entire lives with barely any education. Please take gratitude in how lucky and fortunate you are to be born in a western country with education and free knowledge. Never the less it's amazing to see these people get to taste of whats flooding here in europe and incredible there is places like there where people have close to 0 opportunities other than working to earn 2% of what i get from the state just for attending to school.

Black presenter in video is speaking French. The narrator is speaking Dutch.

The narrator is Dutch. MetropolisTV is part of a Dutch broadcast network IIRC.

Waaaay to northerly for Afrikaans :v:

I think the narrator is speaking Dutch? I'm not sure. The farmers are speaking French though
I can't imagine my job being producing something that I don't know the end product of. It's bizarre

Oh I thought thought the narrator and the presenter were the same guy, whoops
I loved when they joked around with their interviewer. "Sir, is your skin lighter because of the chocolate" :v:
