2 B farmers in the world, many of them live in poverty. Oxfam works with others to create lasting solutions to the injustice of poverty
Most of the public is unaware about the supply chain and the actors and related problems (the iceberg). They see the brands of the Food and Beverage companies. So brands are more exposed to public pressure and can leverage this to the whole value chain (iceberg).
The Iceberg also means risk for the companies (sourcing risk and brand risk)

5. Food for thought Consumers are conditioned to buy cheap products
16 november 2018
Food for thought
Consumers are conditioned to buy cheap products
Chocolate is too cheap!
Will higher prices lead to less demand?
Negative marketing works
Introduce INDECENT label for not certified products?
Regulation to get indecent products from the shelves?
Brands to communicate real story to consumers
Too cheap: external social and environmental costs not included
Higher prices to farmers, but less volumes to sell, may not improve their income
Negative publicity: consumers go to competitor and may not come back
Woeker label in Dutch.
