  5. What is a supply chain?

    • The steps a product goes through from farm to shop
    • The route a river takes from its source to the sea
    • A chain of shops owned by one large company
    • A list of goods that a country refuses to import

  6. Which is the first step in the cocoa supply chain?

    • The customer buys the bar in a supermarket
    • The shop sells the chocolate bar to customers
    • The factory turns the beans into chocolate
    • The farmer grows and harvests the cocoa beans

  7. What does the Fairtrade label promise farmers?

    • A guarantee that farmers never have to sell their crops
    • Lower taxes on all goods sold in the country
    • Free land and a new house for every farming family
    • A fairer, steadier price for the crops they grow

  8. Which two countries grow the largest shares of the world's cocoa?

    • Egypt and Nigeria
    • Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana
    • Kenya and Tanzania, on the east coast
    • Kenya and Tanzania

  9. The chart shows Cote d'Ivoire grows 39% of the world's cocoa and Ghana grows 14%. Roughly how does Cote d'Ivoire's share compare with Ghana's?

    • Almost three times as much
    • About half as much, since the smaller bar is about half the height
    • About ten times as much
    • About the same amount

  10. From a £1 chocolate bar, the farmer gets about 7p and the factory gets about 40p. Roughly how many times more does the factory get?

    • Exactly the same amount
    • Nearly six times as much
    • About half as much
    • Twice as much, since the factory's bar is roughly double the farmer's

  11. Four cocoa steps are: Shop sells the bar; Farmer grows beans; Trader ships beans; Factory makes chocolate. Which step comes third?

    • The trader ships the beans abroad
    • The shop sells the chocolate bar
    • The factory makes the chocolate
    • The farmer grows the cocoa beans

  12. A trader buys cocoa beans in Ghana and ships them to a factory in Europe. Which stage of the supply chain is this?

    • Turning the beans into chocolate in a factory
    • Growing the beans on the farm
    • Moving the beans from the farm to the factory
    • Selling the finished bar to customers

  13. On the chart of a £1 bar, which step takes the largest share of the price?

    • The shop, with about 35p of the price, which is slightly less than the factory
    • The factory, with about 40p
    • The trader, with about 18p
    • The farmer, with about 7p

  14. Why might a cocoa farmer's deal seem unfair?

    • The farmer sells finished bars directly to customers in shops
    • The farmer does the hardest growing work but gets only a small share of the price
    • The farmer owns the factory and every shop that sells the bar
    • The farmer is paid the same as the factory for every bar sold, because all steps earn equal shares

  15. A country earns money by exporting gold. Which description best matches what it is doing?

    • Storing gold inside its borders for future generations
    • Giving free gold to charities in other countries
    • Selling a resource to another country through trade
    • Buying food from neighbours to feed its people

  16. A country mines a lot of gold, but its own people receive only a small fraction of its value. Which explanation is most likely?

    • The gold is worth very little on world markets, so the country keeps all the profit from mining
    • The country refuses to sell its gold to anyone
    • Foreign companies involved in mining and trading may take most of the profit
    • The gold is stored in mines that cannot be reached

  17. Fairtrade aims to reduce which problem for farmers?

    • Factories using too much electricity in production
    • Farmers growing too many crops for the local market
    • Farmers being paid very little for the crops they grow
    • Shops charging too much for chocolate in cities, which stops farmers from selling any of their beans

  18. Which statement best explains how trade can help African countries?

    • Selling resources abroad brings in money that can fund jobs, schools and services
    • Selling resources means the country no longer needs its own farms
    • Trade only benefits the buyer and never the seller
    • Exports never bring money into the country at all, so trade only ever costs governments money

  19. A farmer earns 7p from each £1 bar. Which change would most directly give the farmer a fairer share?

    • Pay farmers a higher and steadier price for their beans
    • Ask the factory to build a bigger shop in the town
    • Ask customers to pay less for the bar in the shop, so that the factory can keep its profits
    • Move the farm to a city where there are more shops

  20. Which idea about Africa's trade is most accurate?

    • All African trade passes through a single port in the north, which carries every cargo ship for the whole continent
    • Africa trades only one resource, cocoa, which is grown across the whole continent
    • Africa does not trade with the world because its countries are too poor
    • Africa trades many different resources, from crops to metals and oil, so one product does not tell the whole story
