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

    Hello everyone, I'm Vanessa Clark, and welcome to the Daily Cocoa Price Tracker. Today, we're going to dive into the latest news and insights on the cocoa market.

    First off, let's look at the current trading price for cocoa. As of October 24, 2025, cocoa prices have seen a significant drop from their recent highs, with the December ICE NY cocoa trading at around $6,323.10 per metric ton. This reflects a decrease from the previous week's levels, partly due to pre-weekend liquidation and weaker demand in some regions[3][4].

    Cocoa prices remain under pressure due to several factors. One major concern is the reduced cocoa exports from Côte d'Ivoire, the world's largest cocoa producer. Exports have fallen by about 31% compared to the same period last year[3]. Additionally, Asia and Europe saw a decline in cocoa grindings, indicating weaker demand[3].

    Despite these challenges, some positive news is emerging. The International Cocoa Organization forecasted a cocoa surplus for the 2024/25 season, which could stabilize prices in the long term[3]. However, factors like the European Union's deforestation regulation are set to impact the supply chain significantly, potentially leading to tighter supplies[1][3].

    For those interested in the cocoa market, keeping an eye on these regulatory changes and weather conditions in key producing regions is crucial. The shift towards sustainable and traceable cocoa sourcing is becoming increasingly important, not just for environmental reasons but also for maintaining market access, especially in Europe[1].

  • Cocoa Crunch: Election Jitters, EU Regs, & Your Chocolate Fix

    Cocoa Crunch: Election Jitters, EU Regs, & Your Chocolate Fix
    2025/10/23
    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipaiThis is your Daily Cocoa Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.Hello and welcome to the Daily Cocoa Price Tracker. I’m Vanessa Clark, and I’m here to break down everything you need to know about the cocoa market today, so you can stay ahead whether you work in the industry or just love chocolate a little bit more than most.Let’s dive right into the numbers. As of October twenty-third, twenty twenty-five, the international price of cocoa has risen again, reaching six thousand three hundred ninety-five dollars per metric ton. That is a jump of just over one and a half percent compared to yesterday’s close, putting cocoa at a two and a half week high. Now, while that sounds strong, it’s important to note that cocoa prices are actually down nine percent over the past month and have fallen about five percent compared to this time last year. That’s a sharp shift compared to the dramatic record highs we saw earlier in the spring, when cocoa futures surged well above twelve thousand dollars per ton.What’s driving these fluctuations? Supply concerns are once again grabbing headlines. In the Ivory Coast, the world’s largest cocoa producer, the main crop harvest has started on a slower note, with reports of poor-quality beans arriving at ports. The pace of cocoa arrivals is down thirty-one percent from last year for this same period in October. Meanwhile, political uncertainty is swirling with the upcoming presidential election on October twenty-fifth. Incumbent President Alassane Ouattara has just bumped the farmgate price, the minimum price farmers receive, which could further influence both supply and market sentiment in coming weeks.On the policy front, the European Union’s new deforestation regulations are adding an extra layer of uncertainty. This week, the EU decided to only slightly postpone enforcement, now aiming for a six-month delay. These rules require strict traceability on cocoa, and the potential for supply disruptions is real if cocoa cannot be proved to come from non-deforested land.Global demand, meanwhile, has shown some weakness this quarter. Grinding data, which is a measure of how much cocoa is being processed, shows that Asian cocoa grindings dropped a hefty seventeen percent in the third quarter, the lowest level for this period in nine years. In Europe, the grind fell nearly five percent — the weakest third quarter in a decade. On the other hand, North American grindings popped up just over three percent. However, analysts point out that this seemingly positive number is influenced by more manufacturers reporting their numbers this year, so it may not reflect a true surge in actual demand.Warehouse inventories are another piece of the puzzle. ICE-monitored cocoa stocks in the United States have dropped to the lowest level in six and a half months, sitting at just under one point nine million bags. That tighter supply helps support current prices, even as forward-looking projections for West African crops are improving, as farmers have reported healthier cocoa pods and better late-summer rainfall.So, what does this mean for anyone watching cocoa prices or working in the chocolate or food business? First, expect continued volatility. Even though prices have come down from this year’s highs, unpredictable weather, evolving political situations, and new regulations could push prices up or down in the months ahead. For chocolate manufacturers and candy makers, it may make sense to review supply contracts and risk management strategies. For anyone grocery shopping, brace yourself: cocoa cost changes can eventually impact the price of your favorite chocolate treats.Watch out for key events over the coming weeks, including results from the Ivory Coast election, harvest updates, and the official EU regulatory timeline. All these will influence the direction of cocoa futures as we head into the end of the year.That’s it from Daily Cocoa Price Tracker for today.

  • Cocoa Crunch: Prices Soar as Supply Woes Bite

    Cocoa Crunch: Prices Soar as Supply Woes Bite

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

    Welcome back to Daily Cocoa Price Tracker. I am Vanessa Clark, your go-to source for the latest news and analysis on everything cocoa. Each day, I keep you in the loop with what is happening in the global cocoa market, so let us talk about what is making headlines and, of course, where cocoa is currently trading.

    First up, let us check those numbers. As of today, Wednesday, October twenty-second, cocoa futures surged past sixty-two hundred dollars per tonne. That is the highest mark we have seen in over two weeks. This big move comes after a few months of back-and-forth in the market, but recent days have brought renewed excitement and some real concerns about where supplies are headed next.

    So, what is powering this big rebound in cocoa prices? Supply worries are leading the charge. The world’s top cocoa grower, Ivory Coast, has had a rocky start to its main crop season with reports of both slow arrivals and worries about bean quality. Dealers are even warning that higher farmgate prices could tempt some farmers to mix lower-quality cocoa into what is being sent to ports, just to keep up with demand. It is truly a case where every bag counts.

    The story does not end there. In Nigeria, another major cocoa producer, the Cocoa Association projects production for the next season will drop by eleven percent year-on-year, falling to just over three hundred thousand tonnes. That kind of shortfall has a real impact on the global market, especially when so many manufacturers are already cautious about sourcing enough high-quality beans to keep chocolate production humming.

    For European traders, there is another wrinkle: the European Union is tightening its deforestation laws, meaning stricter traceability rules for cocoa imports. By reducing the delay in enforcement to just six months instead of a year, the EU could make it harder for cocoa from certain regions to reach European factories. This will likely keep inventories tight and prices supported well into next year.

    Now, here comes a practical tip for anyone with a stake in this market, whether you are buying chocolate, selling confections, or just watching prices: keep an eye on inventories and those traceability regulations. Policy changes and logistics are just as likely to move prices as weather patterns or crop yields. If you are planning contracts or long-term purchasing, factor in the kind of price swings we are seeing now, and consider hedging where possible.

    If you are a manufacturer or run a confectionery business, these higher prices can squeeze margins for months to come. That means it is a good time to talk to suppliers, look at diversifying sourcing, and even plan for recipe adjustments if prices remain elevated into the new year.

    Before I go, let me touch on the bigger trend. Even though cocoa prices dropped off earlier this year, they are still three times higher than they were last year. Supply remains tight. And even though some forecasts tease big future harvests, everyone in the market is playing a cautious game right now.

    That wraps up today’s Daily Cocoa Price Tracker with me, Vanessa Clark. Thank you so much for tuning in.
