Ivory Coast Cocoa Arrivals Slightly Lower in 2025/26 Season

Cocoa arrivals at ports in Ivory Coast, the world’s leading cocoa producer, are showing a marginal decline for the 2025/26 season. Recent data indicates that cumulative arrivals reached approximately 1.534 million metric tons by May 3, reflecting a slight decrease of 0.1% compared to the same period in the previous season.

The cocoa marketing year in Ivory Coast began on October 1, and the current figures suggest relatively stable supply conditions despite the minor year-on-year dip. Market participants continue to monitor arrivals closely as they provide key insight into global cocoa availability and pricing trends.

During the most recent reporting window, logistical activity remained concentrated at the country’s main export hubs. Around 9,000 metric tons of cocoa beans were delivered to Abidjan port, while San Pedro received an estimated 15,000 metric tons. Combined, these volumes total roughly 24,000 metric tons, representing a noticeable increase from the 31,000 metric tons recorded during the same week last year.

Industry analysts suggest that the near-flat performance in arrivals indicates resilience in Ivory Coast’s cocoa supply chain, even as the market navigates broader uncertainties affecting agricultural commodities globally.
