Cocoa Prices Underpinned on Concerns of a Global Cocoa Shortage

March ICE NY cocoa (CCH25) today is up +13 (+0.11), and March ICE London cocoa #7 (CAH25) is up +21 (+0.23%).

Cocoa prices today are moderately higher on carryover support from last Friday when the International Cocoa Organization (ICCO) said a survey of global cocoa stockpiles at the end of the 2023/24 season was at 1.041 MMT, down -36% y/y and lower than a previous estimate of 1.300 MMT.  The survey signals that the ICO's 2023/24 global cocoa deficit estimate of -478,000 MT may be even more significant than initially projected.
