Cocoa Prices Surge as Global Supplies Dwindle Amid Spreding Plant Deceases
Save for later
Share

Global cocoa markets are witnessing a significant price surge as dwindling supplies from key producing regions drive up demand. Cocoa stock market prices closed on a strong note, with New York cocoa achieving a three-week high and London cocoa hitting a monthly peak. Reduced cocoa yields from the Ivory Coast, the world’s largest cocoa producer, and concerns about disease-related crop quality decline have prompted price uptick.

A 3.3% year-on-year reduction in cocoa shipments by Ivory Coast farmers from October 1 to August 27 catalyzed concerns about global cocoa availability, as this region is renowned as a prominent source of cocoa production. In parallel, the tightening of cocoa inventories at U.S. ports over the past three months has underscored the growing commodity scarcity.

Cocoa shortages have resulted due to various factors, including climatic adversities. The recent prevalence of heavy rains in West Africa has spurred the proliferation of black pod disease, which jeopardizes cocoa crops by causing the rotting of cocoa pods. Furthermore, the looming threat of the swollen shoot virus had added to supply apprehensions. The disease, transmitted by mealybugs, poses a significant hazard to cocoa plants and could potentially lead to reduced yields and even plant demise. With these challenges in mind, the prospect of a third consecutive year of cocoa supply deficit in the 2023/24 season is becoming increasingly plausible.

As the cocoa industry grapples with these multifaceted challenges, the market is closely monitoring developments and the consequent impact on prices and availability. The global cocoa sector is at a critical juncture, and stakeholders are navigating a complex landscape to ensure the stability and sustainability of one of the world’s most beloved commodities.

Is it a Roundup lawsuit or more about bad financials? I think the market reacted only to announced financial results.

Europe is falling behind in this field. The concerns 30 years ago was reasonable. Now not so much. We need crops that can survive in a more extreme future climate. Handle droughts and hot weather better. Crops that are less tasty to pests like hogs and deere.
