How much do cocoa farmers get paid?

Question

Hello, I want to know how much do cocoa farmers get paid for selling their cocoa to big companies (Like Cadbury). 
I need to know how much money they get:
Farmers
Shipper (The people who ships the product)
Retailer

The shipper's wage is optional but I would like to know how much money retailers and farmers get from a batch of cocoa. (And please say how much cocoa is in a batch).

You don't need to tell me all the answers but please try to answer a few because that would be very helpful. :)

Thank you

It is awful but there are so many things going on in this world which are, horrific. Child soldiers, women having acid poured in their face, cannibalism. All of these things are wrong but they still exist. In regards to women being sold it's because the women are seen as objects. The farmer who reported it is now getting harassed by police even though the practise of selling people is illegal, they're harassing him. Instead of doing their job and looking into this illegal activity. What they need is for the Indian government to intervene otherwise, nothing will get done about it.

Well its hard to say it's different every year it's a commodity just like oil. all depends on many things weather demand how much yield they get from there plants. right now its over 3,000 per  metric tonne. the farmers most likely would get about 1/3 of that or maybe a little more depending on quality
