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

Hello everyone, I'm Vanessa Clark, and welcome to the Daily Cocoa Price Tracker. Today, we're going to dive into the latest news and insights on the cocoa market.

First off, let's look at the current trading price for cocoa. As of October 24, 2025, cocoa prices have seen a significant drop from their recent highs, with the December ICE NY cocoa trading at around $6,323.10 per metric ton. This reflects a decrease from the previous week's levels, partly due to pre-weekend liquidation and weaker demand in some regions[3][4].

Cocoa prices remain under pressure due to several factors. One major concern is the reduced cocoa exports from Côte d'Ivoire, the world's largest cocoa producer. Exports have fallen by about 31% compared to the same period last year[3]. Additionally, Asia and Europe saw a decline in cocoa grindings, indicating weaker demand[3].

Despite these challenges, some positive news is emerging. The International Cocoa Organization forecasted a cocoa surplus for the 2024/25 season, which could stabilize prices in the long term[3]. However, factors like the European Union's deforestation regulation are set to impact the supply chain significantly, potentially leading to tighter supplies[1][3].

For those interested in the cocoa market, keeping an eye on these regulatory changes and weather conditions in key producing regions is crucial. The shift towards sustainable and traceable cocoa sourcing is becoming increasingly important, not just for environmental reasons but also for maintaining market access, especially in Europe[1].
