T HE COCOA supply chain, much like a high-end bar of chocolate, is complex, opaque and a little nutty. Farmers, mainly in West Africa, sell their crop to local intermediaries, who in turn sell to exporters. These exporters sell to chocolate manufacturers and traders, often in Europe, who themselves are backed by investors in London and New York.
可可供应链，就像高端的巧克力棒一样复杂，不透明且有点坚果。农民主要在西非，将农作物出售给当地的中介机构，后者又将其卖给出口商。这些出口商卖给了巧克力制造商和商人，通常在欧洲，他们本身由伦敦和纽约的投资者支持。
