This is your Daily Cocoa Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

Hello everyone, welcome to another episode of Daily Cocoa Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark. Im your host Vanessa Clark, and today were diving into the latest on cocoa prices, market volatility, and what it all means for your chocolate cravings. Grab your favorite bar and lets chat.

First up, the big news youve been waiting for: todays cocoa trading price. According to CocoaRadar, cocoa is at 5899 dollars and 68 cents per metric ton as of Thursday, down 78 dollars and 32 cents, or 1.31 percent, from yesterdays close of 5978 dollars per ton. Trading Economics reports it slightly lower at around 5923 dollars per ton, with a 0.92 percent drop. Prices have been sliding a bit today on expectations of stronger supplies from West Africa, but do not get too comfy, because this market loves to swing.

Over the past month, cocoa prices are up nearly 20 percent despite being about 50 percent off last years crazy highs above 12000 dollars per ton. Why the ups and downs? Surplus forecasts for the 2025-26 season keep shrinking. Citigroup just cut theirs to 79 thousand metric tons from 134 thousand, and Rabobank dropped to 250 thousand from 328 thousand. ICE-monitored stocks in US ports hit a nine-month low, and weather in Ghana and Côte dIvoire could still shake things up. Strong arrivals from Côte dIvoire and Ecuador are helping, plus the EU delayed its deforestation rules, giving companies a breather.

On the chocolate side, demand stays tough. Brands like Nestlé and Pladis are reformulating bars to cut cocoa content, even calling them chocolate flavor now. Big players like Barry Callebaut are eyeing splits to handle volatility. But hey, farmers in Ivory Coast say next years harvest looks promising with good rains.

Actionable tip for you: If youre stocking up on chocolate, watch for deals now, but think long-term, sustainable brands, as one in three folks pay extra for verified cocoa. Prices might ease into next year, but volatility is the new normal, so diversify your treats, maybe mix in some dark chocolate for those anti-aging perks from theobromine.
