象牙海岸的可可农民面临危机,因为尽管政府保证价格,但低价格和未发放的出口配额阻止销售。
Ivory Coast’s cocoa farmers face crisis as low prices and unissued export quotas prevent sales, despite government price guarantees.
世界上最大的可可生产国象牙海岸面临日益加深的危机,因为全球价格下跌 — — 跌至每吨5 000美元 — — 在出口枢纽引发了未售出可可的积压,使农民无法出售作物,尽管政府设定的农场价格为每公斤2 800非洲法郎。
Ivory Coast, the world’s largest cocoa producer, faces a deepening crisis as falling global prices—down to $5,000 per tonne—have triggered a backlog of unsold cocoa at export hubs, leaving farmers unable to sell their crops despite a government-set farm-gate price of 2,800 CFA francs per kilo.
出口商说,他们缺乏咖啡和可可委员会(CCC)的配额,该委员会本应发放配额,并在价格下跌时补偿损失,但没有启动任何补偿。
Exporters say they lack quotas from the Coffee and Cocoa Board (CCC), which is supposed to issue them and reimburse losses if prices fall, but no reimbursements have been activated.
许多农民靠可可生存,他们以大幅度降低的价格出售可可,或没有报酬,有些人无力满足基本需要。
Farmers, many of whom rely on cocoa for survival, are selling at drastically reduced prices or going unpaid, with some unable to afford basic needs.
CCC否认存在任何障碍,但其不采取行动加剧了僵局,破坏了旨在保护农民的制度。
The CCC denies any blockage, but its failure to act has fueled a standoff, undermining a system meant to protect farmers.
