  6. Why I Want to See More Global Brands from Emerging Economies

    Recently, I've been thinking about how much value is created at different stages of global production. In many cases, one country produces the raw material, while another country processes it, brands it, distributes it, and ultimately earns a much larger share of the profit. Cocoa is a good example. Ghana is one of the world's major cocoa producers, but when most people think of premium chocolate, they are more likely to think of European brands than Ghanaian ones. That made me wonder: why […]

  7. (2/2) Von dort kam dieser Laptop jetzt zum Labdoo-Helfer Benjamin im Labdoo Hub #Münster In wenigen Tagen holt der Ghana Union e.V. aus Düsseldorf diesen Laptop und seine Mitreisenden ab. Dann geht es per Schiffsfracht nach Afrika. Heute wurde dieser Laptop auf Linux Mint umgestellt.
    Wenn jeder ein bisschen beiträgt, können wir gemeinsam viel bewegen.

  8. (1/2) Den meisten Laptops verhelfen wir bei @Labdoo_D zu einem 2. Leben für die Bildung von Kindern. Dieser Laptop ist aber jetzt auf seinem weiten Weg in sein 3. Leben zu einer Schule in Ghana.
    Den Erstbesitzer kennen wir nicht. Um 2019 wurde der Laptop von unserem Partner afb social & green IT aufgearbeitet und an die Montessori-Schule in #Münster verkauft

  9. Gold, which is driving the deforestation, faces no equivalent check.
    So a man can do everything right for five years — plant, shade, weed, wait, refuse the mining money — and get paid less this year than last, while the pit at his fence line pays cash on Tuesday. That isn't a market failure. Somebody signed.
    Ghana, Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire and Cameroon just signed the Abuja Declaration to stop exporting raw beans and bargain as one bloc. First thing in this mess with teeth in it. #Ghana #Cocoa
    2/3

  10. A bag of Ghanaian cocoa that once sold for GH¢3,625 now brings GH¢2,587 — about US$220, down from US$308. Meanwhile nearly 9,000 hectares of legally protected forest reserve have gone into illegal gold pits.
    Brussels built a rule that demands GPS coordinates from a smallholder with patchy internet, exempted the actual bulldozer, delayed its own deadline twice, and calls that environmental policy. Cocoa is monitored for deforestation. #Ghana #Cocoa #Chocolate #EUDR #Deforestation

Ebo Taylor’s horn arrangements evoke the classic Afrofunk vibe that he originally made famous.The lyrics are as catchy as they are plaintive, with Thomas comforting the listener, “Don’t cry! Life has its ups […]
