However, I don't equate the profits of publishers with the struggling African producer of the cocoa bean.

It would be the writers who are the struggling bean growers, the publishers would be the evil Tesco/Walmart corporations exploiting them.
People might pretend to care, but in general they will still go for the lowest price. It's like child labour in clothes factories in India. If it means they save a couple of dollars on their next party dress they'll turn a blind eye to anything. It's all the fault of the nasty Indian factories anyway, nothing to do with the retailer squeezing them down on price so much that they can't afford to employ adults.
