  • Cocoa Prices Surge on West African Crop and Weather Concerns
    June 25, 2026, 4:33 PM EDT. Cocoa prices hit 5.5-month highs amid fears over the upcoming West African cocoa crop. Heavy rains in Ivory Coast and Ghana have flooded roads, limiting farmers' access to farms and ports, threatening supplies. Excess moisture raises the risk of brown rot disease, which damages cocoa yields. Additionally, an emerging El Niño weather pattern could create drier, hotter conditions, stressing cocoa trees in West Africa. Early 2026/27 season surveys show weak cherelle formation, signaling a challenging harvest. However, rising cocoa shipments and inventories, along with soft demand in North America and Europe, have capped price gains. Asian demand is an exception, showing growth. Nigeria's smaller supplies also support prices amid these mixed supply and demand signals.
