In Ghana, cocoa farmers are swapping bean farming for illegal gold mining, a practice which is helping drive global chocolate prices. And Will Bain speaks to the company that landed a private spacecraft on the moon with the intention to explore the lunar Sea of Crises.

  • Hello and welcome to World Business Report on the BBC World Service.

  • I'm Will Bain.

  • Great as always to have your company on the program today.

  • We'll be in Canada in just a moment to hear

  • about a rocky run up to this weekend's change in prime minister.

  • And we'll look at how whoever replaces Justin Trudeau might try

  • and navigate the trade tensions with the United States.

  • Also on the program today, we're in Ghana to hear about the continued pressure on cocoa farmers.

  • Gradually and over years,

  • economic and living experience on the pharma in Ghana has been driven down

  • to the extent that it is not attractive to be in cocoa.

  • Yeah.

  • We'll tell you a little bit more

  • about why that might continue to affect the price of your favorite sweet treats

  • for some time to come yet.

  • And we'll also be crossing live

  • to the headquarters of the first commercial spacecraft to land on the moon to hear

  • from their director of investor relations

  • about what a successful moon landing does for the that investment picture.

  • So plenty for us to get to here on the program today.
