Cadbury 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.

Needs Product to be Safe
Now that Kraft has bought the company, they are strategically
looking to phase out many operations in Britain for cheaper
areas of labor such as Eastern Europe and overseas countries.
It is a fascinating story of Industrial and Social Development.
