  • West African Rain and Large Supplies Drive Cocoa Prices Down
    March 12, 2026, 5:03 PM EDT. Cocoa prices fell sharply as favorable rainfall in West Africa is expected to enhance crop yields, easing supply concerns. ICE cocoa inventories hit a seven-month peak, adding pressure. Despite recent price cuts in Ivory Coast and Ghana, the world's two largest producers, buying activity has surfaced, signaling emerging demand. Shipping disruptions at the Strait of Hormuz have raised costs, supporting prices somewhat. However, weaker global chocolate demand weighed heavily. Cocoa grindings in Europe and Asia declined notably, and North American growth was minimal, reflecting consumer caution. Nigeria's increased exports further contributed to the bear pressure. These combined factors drove May ICE NY cocoa down 3.32% and May ICE London cocoa down 3.18% on Thursday.
