Good. Why pay for the Swiss to make us chocolate when we can get it first hand and support a black owned business and black nation?

I expect to see headlines that read, "ISIS is reemerging in Africa and the Ghanaian government is supporting them" real soon.

I bet this will fail wildly.

Lot more to making top quality chocolate than having the beans. You got sand and yet you are not making microchips Ghana?

Why do you assume they'll go to that level? They're going to keep good quality beans and make chocolate, without the cost of all the middle men. They should be able to produce high quality at a good price. Coffee used to be mostly exported to companies who marketed the beans as their own brand. Now you can buy from all over the world, the local company's product.

Swiss chocolate is some of the best out there. Doubt they'll be able to make anything half as good

Probably not, but everyone's gotta start somewhere.

If it was just about the beans, everyone would be doing it.

Imagine toiling in the fields harvesting coco beans and then probably not even being able to afford a melted Nestle's Crunch bar... that is, if you can find one.

There was a show where this happened. The harvesters had never had chocolate and didnt kniw what it was used for. The interviewer gave them some

was that where upon eating the chocolate for the first time one inferred "this is why white people are so healthy."

1

True. Most of the natives where cocoa leaves are harvested have never even tasted chocolate candy. Watch grown men in Africa try it for the first time.

Impressive.

Cocoa only comes from like three countries, and it's an incredible pain in the ass to grow and harvest it, and of course, the farmers get paid absolutely nothing. Then it gets mixed together with $0.18 of ingredients and processed and packaged for consumers as a $6 chocolate bar, of which the farmer saw $0.0004.

Also, good luck with that!

...isn't Ghana one of the few redpilled and actually prosperous and still developing African nations?

Good for them, hope this move brings them much prosperity.

Ghana got rich on oil. They have a decently high standard of living now and a lot of people got obese on KFC.

After they set up factories, learn how to make it, figure out the logistics of transporting their product, get a grip on marketing and trademarks,,,then you might be able to buy some from 7-11.

I wouldn’t hold your breath. All this will do is make good chocolate more expensive.
