RARE PHOTOS: Cocoa prices jump as global cocoa deficit widens | Vintage Vibes

July ICE NY cocoa (CCN24) today is up +301 (+3.23%), and July ICE London cocoa #7 (CAN24) is up +220 (+2.96%).

Cocoa prices today are sharply higher, with NY cocoa posting a 5-week high and London cocoa posting a 4-week high.  Lower cocoa production in the Ivory Coast, the world's largest producer, is a major bullish factor for cocoa prices.  Government data today showed that Ivory Coast farmers shipped 1.5 MMT of cocoa to ports from October 1 to June 2, down by 30% from the same time last year.  Trader Ecom Agroindustrial projects Ivory Coast 2023/24 cocoa production, which ends in September, will fall -21.5% y/y to an 8-year low of 1.75 MMT.
