Cocoa arrivals at ports in Ivory Coast, the world’s leading cocoa producer, reached approximately 1.392 million metric tons between October 1 and March 22 of the 2025/26 season, according to exporters’ estimates released Monday. This marks a 2.5% decrease compared to the same period in the previous season.
