  • Cocoa Prices Drop as Global Chocolate Demand Weakens
    January 21, 2026, 4:29 PM EST. Cocoa prices fell sharply with March ICE NY cocoa down 4.3% and London cocoa down 4.09%, reaching multi-year lows amid weak global chocolate demand. Barry Callebaut, a leading chocolate maker, reported a 22% drop in cocoa sales volume.
