St. Lucia: Cocoa farmers organize to defend their livelihoods

St. Lucia is one of eight countries worldwide that produce fine aromatic cocoa. In the southern part of this Caribbean island, cocoa farmers are organizing to defend their livelihood. They face serious problems due to high costs and access to local markets, but aid from the Farm Labor Support Program, funded by the government with assistance from the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of our America (ALBA), is giving them hope that they will be able to overcome their difficulties.
