Abstract

This paper explores the experience of The Day Chocolate Company in connecting small-scale cocoa farmers more directly into global markets by making the farmers significant shareholders and therefore equity owners within this fair trade company. It examines how Day combines both social and business goals thus providing an alternative model to conventional international trade.
