47. Depending on Ghana for SupplyCadbury emphasizes responsibility both ethically and environmentally. In their relationship with Ghana farmers they promote fair wages and support the country’s economy.Pros: Ghana is known for having the best quality bean available. Having a good relationship with the farmers ensures access to the best ingredients.Cons: Farmers in Ghana have recently had trouble with their crops and have delivered lower outputs. This results in a smaller supply for the company who is limited by their main ingredient. This has effected Cadbury financially and may continue to be a problem under Kraft.
