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 on cocoa prices, market moves, and what it means for you.

Right now, cocoa is trading at around 4200 dollars per tonne, up about 2.7 percent from yesterday, according to Trading Economics. That's a nice rebound after some wild swings, including a sharp drop on February 4th when ICE US March futures settled at 4041 dollars, down over 5 percent, as reported by CocoaIntel. Prices had hit over two-year lows below 4000 dollars due to expectations of global surpluses, like StoneX projecting 287000 tons extra for the 202526 season.

But here's the flip: Ivory Coasts Coffee and Cocoa Council is ramping up buys to 20000 tonnes weekly to save beans from spoilage in poor storage, which slowed deliveries and sparked this uptick. Ghana farmers are also facing payment delays from COCOBOD, adding tension, while better weather promises healthier pods ahead. Demand is soft, though, with Mondelez warning of muted chocolate sales growth in 2026 as shoppers cut back.

For you traders and chocolate lovers, watch for support around 4040 dollars, per CocoaIntel charts, with potential stabilization soon. Tip: If youre hedging, eye those surplus forecasts but factor in quality risks from West Africa, they could keep things volatile.
