  • Cocoa Prices Drop Amid Dollar Strength and Improved West African Supply Outlook
    March 20, 2026, 5:01 PM EDT. Cocoa prices fell on Friday, with New York Cocoa futures (CCK26) dropping 2.28% and London Cocoa futures (CAK26) down 1.67%. The stronger U.S. dollar pressured prices alongside an improved supply outlook, as consistent rains in Ivory Coast and Ghana boosted pod development. ICE cocoa inventories hit a 7.5-month high at 2.33 million bags. Despite recent supply improvements, demand remains weak. The world's largest cocoa producers, Ivory Coast and Ghana, cut farmer pay by up to 57%, heightening concerns. Additionally, a global shipment cost rise from the Strait of Hormuz closure supported prices. However, cocoa grindings in Europe and Asia have declined significantly year-on-year, reflecting soft consumer demand amid elevated chocolate prices. Nigerian exports also increased, adding downward pressure on prices.
