Cocoa Prices Retreat on the Outlook for Ivory Coast Cocoa Production to Recover

September ICE NY cocoa (CCU24) today is down -473 (-6.12%), and September ICE London cocoa #7 (CAU24) is down -194 (-3.05%).

Cocoa prices today are sharply lower, with NY cocoa sliding to a 5-week low.  The outlook for Ivory Coast cocoa production to improve is weighing on prices.  Bloomberg reported last Friday that the Ivory Coast is projected to harvest 2 MMT of cocoa in the 2024/25 season that begins Oct 1, citing early pod counting from Ivory Coast cocoa farms, above the 2023/24 Ivory Coast cocoa production estimate of 1.8 MMT.
