Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

LEADING cocoa-producing countries have agreed to draw up plans to co-ordinate supplies, cut stocks and raise consumption to bolster flagging prices.

Delegates said at the end of a five-day meeting of the Cocoa Producers' Alliance (CPA) in Kuala Lumpur that the grouping had decided to set up a permanent committee on production to draw up a supply-management programme.

The CPA was to issue a 'Kuala Lumpur Declaration' yesterday that would reaffirm members' determination to take steps to cut stocks and boost the market.

The CPA committee will also include non-members.
