Development Minister Gerd Müller (CSU) called for the purchase of fair-produced chocolate before the holidays. "So that we can put our children cheap chocolate in the Santa Claus boot, toiled 2.3 million girls and boys on cocoa plantations worldwide," said Müller the "Rheinische Post" (Saturday edition). Because the purchase price for chocolate is so low on the world market that the families could not live on it.
"Therefore, my appeal for the Christmas season: Access to sustainable and fair produced chocolate Santa Claus and St. Nicholas," said the CSU politician. In the next few weeks alone 140 million chocolate Santa Claus would be produced. "If only fair chocolate Santa Clauses were bought, that would be a great sign of solidarity, and millions of euros would flow directly to West Africa to cocoa farmers and their families," Müller said.
