Chocolate from Ghana

Tim Gossling from the gaurdian wanted to answer the question asked by Anna Jones "why can't the chocolate be made in Africa?" (Tim Gossling, the guardian). He found a cocoa processing company in Ghana that makes additive free chocolate. The only problem is that what ex-colonies can export is very limited to only "primary produce" as Gossling puts it. Also, those products must be tariff free.

Post Brexit there may be more opportunity for Ghana to expand their chocolate brand beyond the local market because the UK will be able to renegotiate and create new deals. Hopefully if any deals are made they will help to boost not only Ghana's economy, but other African countries' economies as well. The added benefit of exporting this chocolate from Ghana is "the ecological bonus in that chocolate bars require much less transportation space than the beans that make them" (Tim Gossling, the guardian). In summation, by exporting chocolate from Ghana there will be an increased chance for improving the Ghana economy slightly, bettering the environment, and chocolate tastes so good.
