6．Have you ever wondered where the chocolate in your favorite candy bar comes from？Chocolate comes from the cacao tree，which grows in warm，tropical areas of West Africa，Indonesia，Malaysia，Mexico，and South America．And who eats the delicious chocolate made from the cacao grown in these places？The majority of chocolate is consumed in Europe and North America．This probably sounds like a familiar story-developing countries produce inexpensive raw materials that are manufactured and sold as finished goods in developed countries，and generally，that is what happens with chocolate．Large chocolate companies buy cacao beans at a low price and produce cocoa and chocolate products to sell at a relatively high price．
But the familiar story has a new chapter．Beginning in the 1980s，some consumers learned that cacao farmers were living difficult and uncertain lives．The farmers received money for their crops based on world markets，and the market price for cacao was sometimes so low that farmers received less for their crops than the crops had cost to produce．In response，groups of consumers in Europe and the United States developed"fair trade"organizations to guarantee that farmers of cacao，as well as coffee and tea，would receive fair and consistent prices for their crops．
Fair trade organizations benefit farmers by buying cacao beans or other products from them directly at higher-than-market prices and eliminating （除去）"middle men"such as exporters．Fair trade organizations also encourage farming techniques that are not harmful to the environment or to farm workers，for example，growing cacao without chemical pesticides or fertilizers in the shade of rain forest trees．One organization，Equal Exchange，helps farmers set up farming cooperatives in which they can share resources and work on projects such as community schools．Another，Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International （FLO），guarantees that products bearing its label meet standards that improve the lives of growers and producers．
The results of fair trade are a better standard of living for some farmers and nicer chocolate bars made with organically produced cocoa that consumers don't feel guilty about buying．And although fair trade chocolate is somewhat more expensive than other chocolate and now makes up only 1% of chocolate sold，the fair trade idea is spreading quickly．You may soon see fair trade chocolate right next to the more famous bars in your favorite store．
