Ndi nyengo ya cocoa kumwera kwa Ivory Coast.Nkhokwezo zapsa kuti zithyoledwe, zina zimasanduka zobiriwira kukhala zachikasu, ngati nthochi.
Kupatula mitengo iyi ndi yosiyana ndi zomwe ndidaziwonapo kale;a quirk of chisinthiko, angayang'ane kunyumba ku CS Lewis' Narnia kapena Tolkien's Middle-earth: katundu wawo wamtengo wapatali samakula kuchokera kunthambi, koma molunjika kuchokera mumtengo.
Ndi Okutobala, nthawi yovuta pachaka kwa anthu osauka kwambiri akumidzi omwe amagulitsa nyemba za koko - komanso kwa okonda chokoleti, popeza dziko laling'ono la equatorial ku West Africa limatulutsa koko wopitilira gawo limodzi mwa magawo atatu a koko padziko lapansi.
Kudera lonse la Ivory Coast, koko amalimidwa m'minda ya mabanja, iliyonse imakhala ndi mahekitala ochepa chabe.Magawo ang'onoang'ono amaperekedwa m'mibadwo, mwana aliyense akuvutika kuti apeze zofunika pamoyo, monga momwe bambo ake asanabadwe.
Jean adalandira malo okwana mahekitala awiri pamene abambo ake anamwalira zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri zapitazo.Pa nthawiyi n’kuti ali ndi zaka 11 zokha.Ali ndi zaka 18 zokha, adawoneka ngati munthu wosiya moyo wovuta, akuwoneka ngati alibe nyemba ziwiri zoti azipaka pamodzi.
Koma nyemba ndi chinthu chimodzi chomwe ali nacho - thumba lodzaza ndi iwo, atamangidwa molimba kumbuyo kwa njinga yake ya dzimbiri.
Chifukwa cha kufunikira kwa koko komwe kukuchulukirachulukira padziko lonse lapansi, nyemba za Jean ndi zofunika kwambiri kumakampani akuluakulu a chokoleti, koma poganizira za kukwera kwa mitengo, mtengo wake watsika mzaka makumi angapo zapitazi.
Jean anatiuza kuti: “N'zovuta.“Ndine wolimba mtima, koma ndikufunikanso thandizo,” iye akutero, akuvomereza kuti amavutika kuti apeze zofunika pa moyo.
Jean ali pansi pomwe pali mitundu ingapo yapadziko lonse lapansi yomwe imawona koko asinthidwa kuchoka ku nyemba kupita ku bar, motero, ma cocoa-nomics ofunikira amatsutsana naye.
Amalonda, mapurosesa, ogulitsa kunja ndi opanga onse amafuna malire awo, ndipo kuti aliyense apindule, dongosololi limalamula kuti Jean - yemwe ali ndi mphamvu zochepa kapena alibe mphamvu zogulitsira - amalandira zochepa za thumba lake la nyemba.
M'dziko lomwe koko imathandizira anthu pafupifupi 3.5 miliyoni, GDP yapachaka pa munthu aliyense siposa $1,000.
Makoko a koko amaonedwa ngati amtengo wapatali potsegula pogwiritsa ntchito zikwanje - chida chachikulu cha tchire.Ndizotsika zamakono, zowopsa komanso zogwira ntchito.Ndipo mwatsoka, m’mbali imeneyi ya dziko, manja ang’onoang’ono ang’onoang’ono ambiri amagwira ntchito yosakhala yopepuka.
Nkhani ya ntchito ya ana yasokoneza malonda a chokoleti kwa zaka zambiri;ndipo ngakhale abwera padziko lonse lapansi pazaka 10 zapitazi, ndivuto lomwe silitha.Mwadongosolo komanso mozama kwambiri mu chikhalidwe, mizu yake imapezeka mu umphawi wogaya womwe ukuvutitsa anthu akumidzi: alimi omwe sangakwanitse kulipira antchito akuluakulu amagwiritsa ntchito ana m'malo mwake.
Kuletsa kugwiritsa ntchito ana ndi kuonjezera mwayi wopeza maphunziro kumawoneka ngati njira yabwino kwambiri yobweretsera chitukuko m'midziyi.
Otsutsa makampani a koko akhala akunena kuti makampani monga Nestlé alephera udindo wawo wotukula miyoyo ya alimi omwe amalima koko.
"Mukamva kampani ikulankhula za kukhazikika, zomwe akunena ndikukhazikika kuti athe kupitiliza kugula koko mtsogolo," akutero.
Koma akuvomereza kuti zinthu zina zapita patsogolo."Maganizo omwe ndili nawo ndikuti zomwe zikuchitika pano ndizofunikira kwambiri kuposa zomwe tidaziwona m'mbuyomu".
François Ekra ali ndi munda wa mahekitala asanu ndi awiri m'tawuni ya Gagnoa.Iyenso ndi purezidenti wa bungwe lazaulimi lakwawo, lomwe limapanga pafupifupi matani 1,200 a nyemba za koko pachaka.
François akupereka chithunzi chodetsa nkhaŵa cha tsogolo la malonda a chokoleti: Mtengo wa koko wokhazikitsidwa ndi boma ndi wotsika kwambiri;mitengo ndi yokalamba ndi matenda;ma co-operatives ngati ake sangapeze ndalama zogulira mtsogolo.
Choncho pang’onopang’ono, ngati mphira ulipiridwa bwino tidzagwetsa koko chifukwa [ife] alimi a koko timagwirira ntchito pachabe.”
Amadziŵa alimi amene akukana kotheratu: Kumene kunali mitengo ya koko, minda ya mphira tsopano ikuphuka — imakhala yopindulitsa kwambiri ndiponso yobala zipatso chaka chonse.
Ndipo monganso m’maiko ambiri a mu Afirika, anthu akumidzi akuchoka m’miyambi yawo, kufunafuna moyo wabwinopo mwa kuloŵana ndi chiŵerengero cha khamu la anthu okhamukira ku likulu la Abidjan.
Nthawi zambiri nyemba za mlimi zimagulidwa ndi amalonda kapena apakati omwe amagwira ntchito
