Chocolate is an $80bn global industry, but the bulk of the profits end up with the international corporations responsible for producing the finished products, rather than the cocoa farmers in west Africa.

This is one of the issues to be discussed by Africa leaders and cocoa traders at an industry conference in Amsterdam.
