    • Cocoa Crashes Hard: Your Chocolate May Get Cheaper Soon with Vanessa Clark

      Cocoa Crashes Hard: Your Chocolate May Get Cheaper Soon with Vanessa Clark
      Jan 23 2026

      This is your Daily Cocoa Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

      Hey friends, welcome back to Daily Cocoa Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark. I'm Vanessa, your go-to guide for all things cocoa, and today we're diving into the latest buzz on cocoa prices, supply shifts, and what it means for chocolate lovers like you.

      Right now, cocoa is trading at around 4,070 dollars per unit, hitting its lowest level since January 2024 according to Fortrade's weekly report. That's a huge drop from the all-time high of 12,911 dollars back in December 2024. Prices plunged nearly 20 percent this week alone, as Refinitiv reports, driven by rising supplies from big producers like Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana, where output is up thanks to better weather and healthier crops. Rabobank forecasts a surplus of 250,000 tonnes for the 2025-2026 season, flipping the script from those tough deficit years.

      Demand is softening too, with grindings down sharply, Ecofin Agency notes, Europe saw an 8.3 percent drop, the lowest in 21 years, and Asia fell 4.8 percent. High prices curbed buying, so folks are snapping up cheaper chocolate options or skipping it. But here's a bright spot, Nigeria's production is dipping 11 percent, which could tighten things up. Plus, cocoa just joined the Bloomberg Commodity Index this January, potentially drawing two billion dollars in new investments per Barchart and Citigroup estimates. Technically, it's oversold on the RSI, hinting at a possible bounce.

      For you at home, this means chocolate prices might ease soon if surpluses hold, giving makers like Hershey and Mondelez room to lower retail tags and boost sales. Keep an eye on West Africa harvests and the ICCO bulletin coming in February. Smart tip, stock up on your favorites now before any rebound.

    • Cocoa's Big Meltdown: Why Your Chocolate Bar Won't Get Cheaper Anytime Soon

      Cocoa's Big Meltdown: Why Your Chocolate Bar Won't Get Cheaper Anytime Soon
      Jan 22 2026

      This is your Daily Cocoa Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

      Hey everyone, I'm Vanessa Clark with the Daily Cocoa Price Tracker, and boy do we have quite a story to tell you about what's happening in the cocoa market right now. Stick around as we break down the latest developments that are affecting chocolate lovers and producers worldwide.

      Let's start with where cocoa is trading today. As of right now, cocoa futures are hovering around four thousand four hundred thirty six dollars per metric ton. Now, that might sound like a lot of money, but here's the thing: we're looking at the lowest prices we've seen in two years. If you've been following along with us, you know that back in December of twenty twenty four, cocoa hit an all time high of almost thirteen thousand dollars per ton. So we're talking about a massive sixty percent drop from those peak prices.

      So what's driving this dramatic shift? Well, it comes down to supply and demand, my friends. On the demand side, we're seeing some pretty weak signals from major chocolate makers and consumers. Barry Callebaut, which is the world's largest bulk chocolate manufacturer, just reported that their global cocoa sales volume dropped twenty two percent. That's a significant decline that tells us chocolate makers are really struggling with the high costs that we've seen over the past couple years.

      The numbers are telling us that chocolate consumption has dropped across Europe, Asia, and North America. European cocoa grinding fell eight point three percent year over year in the fourth quarter. That's worse than what experts were expecting. At the same time, we're seeing a major supply situation developing in West Africa, particularly in Ivory Coast, which is the world's largest cocoa producer. We're talking about massive stockpiles of cocoa beans piling up at ports because farmers have been bringing in their harvest, but there just isn't enough demand to move it all.

      The good news, if you want to call it that, is that West African weather has been favorable for growing cocoa. That means we're expecting good yields in the upcoming February and March harvest. Combined with those existing stockpiles, market experts are forecasting a global surplus of around three hundred fifty thousand tons this season.

      Now, here's something important for chocolate lovers to know: while cocoa bean prices have crashed, don't expect to see chocolate prices drop anytime soon. Chocolate makers have been dealing with these high input costs for months, and they've already raised their prices to consumers. Those price increases likely aren't going away quickly.

      Looking ahead, experts think prices could drift even lower before we see any real recovery. But there's a wild card here: many cocoa farmers in Ivory Coast are struggling to afford the inputs they need to produce cocoa beans. If that affects future harvests and production capacity, we could see prices rebound down the road.

      Thanks so much for tuning in to the Daily Cocoa Price Tracker. I'm Vanessa Clark, and we'll be right back tomorrow with the latest cocoa market updates. Be sure to subscribe and tune in next time for all your cocoa trading insights.

    • Vanessa's Cocoa Watch: Sweet Decline as Futures Drop 4% on Weak Demand and Shifting Forecasts

      Vanessa's Cocoa Watch: Sweet Decline as Futures Drop 4% on Weak Demand and Shifting Forecasts

      This is your Daily Cocoa Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

      Hey everyone, I'm Vanessa Clark, and welcome back to the Daily Cocoa Price Tracker. I'm so glad you're here with me today because we've got some really important market movements to talk about.

      Let's jump right in with today's trading price. As of this evening, cocoa futures are sitting at around four thousand four hundred fifty six dollars per metric ton, down about four percent from yesterday. Now, if you've been listening to our show for a while, you know that cocoa has been on quite a roller coaster lately, and today is definitely part of that wild ride.

      Here's what's really driving the market right now. We're seeing this massive disconnect between supply and demand. Global cocoa demand is pretty weak at the moment. The European Cocoa Association just reported that fourth quarter European cocoa grindings fell eight point three percent year over year, which is actually much worse than what people were expecting. That's the lowest we've seen for a fourth quarter in twelve years. Asia isn't doing much better either, with fourth quarter grindings down four point eight percent. Even North America barely squeaked out a small increase of just point three percent.

      But here's where it gets interesting. Even though demand is soft, we've got supply pressures too. The Ivory Coast, which is the world's largest cocoa producer, shipped less cocoa to ports this year compared to last year. Nigeria, the fifth largest producer, is also facing production challenges with exports down significantly. The International Cocoa Organization actually shifted its forecast and now expects a cocoa surplus instead of a deficit, which is weighing on prices.

      What's fascinating though is that we're seeing some conflicting signals. West African growing conditions have actually improved, and farmers are reporting larger and healthier cocoa pods. But at the same time, we're hearing about port congestion and reports of excess supply building up at Ivory Coast ports.

      The big picture here is that cocoa prices have plunged to two year lows, and the market is really struggling to find its footing. Consumers are pushing back against high chocolate prices, and that's really impacting demand across the board.

      If you're watching cocoa markets, this is definitely a time to pay close attention to those grinding data reports and weather updates from West Africa.

      Thanks so much for tuning in to the Daily Cocoa Price Tracker. Make sure you subscribe and join me next time for more market insights. I'll be here tracking all the latest cocoa news and prices for you. See you soon.
