Cocoa prices today are moving higher. Lower cocoa production in the Ivory Coast, the world's largest producer, is a bullish price factor. Government data today showed that Ivory Coast farmers shipped 1.56 MMT of cocoa to ports from October 1 to June 16, down by 29% from the same time last year. Trader Ecom Agroindustrial projects Ivory Coast 2023/24 cocoa production, which ends in September, will fall -21.5% y/y to an 8-year low of 1.75 MMT.
