We hear about possible problems with schemes designed to certify commodity production. An Ivory Coast cocoa farmer tells us why he regrets having his plantation certified. Anne Marie Yao is West Africa cocoa manager for Fairtrade Africa, and explains some of the challenges the industry faces. Patrick Mbataru, a coffee specialist at Kenyatta University in Nairobi says some farmers are giving up growing coffee altogether. And Allison Marie Loconto of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation discusses some possible solutions. Also in the programme, the British-Swiss mining giant Glencore is suspending production at the world's largest cobalt mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo, as prices have fallen by half. Caspar Rawles is senior analyst at Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, and tells us what's behind the move. Plus we travel to the Danish port of Ezbjerg, to hear why a no deal Brexit could restrict the supply of Danish pork products to the UK.
