This is your Daily Cocoa Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.
Hey friends, welcome back to Daily Cocoa Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark. Im your host Vanessa, and today were diving into the latest on cocoa prices, fresh supply news from West Africa, and what it all means for your chocolate cravings.
Right now, US cocoa futures are trading around 3,989 dollars per ton as of this afternoon, but theyve plunged sharply today, down over 7 percent to hit two-year lows near 3,778 dollars according to Trading Economics and Barchart reports. Yesterday on February 9th, prices slid to 3,984 dollars, a drop of more than 5 percent from Friday, with Investing.com showing even steeper losses across contracts. London futures followed suit, down about 7 percent too.
Why the freefall? Barchart and CocoaIntel point to building global supplies easing earlier shortages. In Ivory Coast, cocoa arrivals are down 4 percent year-on-year at 1.26 million tons, but better mid-crop prospects from good soil moisture are calming nerves. Ghana faces ongoing issues like debt and low farmer confidence, slowing exports. StoneX forecasts surpluses of 287,000 tons for 2025-26, and global stocks are up 4 percent per the International Cocoa Organization. Nigerian exports jumped 17 percent, adding pressure.
Demand is softening too, as high chocolate prices make shoppers picky. Futures curves in contango mean nearby supply looks okay, no scarcity premium.
For you at home, this could mean steadier chocolate prices soon, but watch for deals on bars now. If youre trading or baking, consider hedging against volatility or stocking up on cocoa powder before any rebound.
