Four African countries — Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria and Cameroon — produce around 75% of the world’s cocoa, yet farmers capture only a small share of the value created by the global chocolate industry. Now, the four countries are working together through a new Cocoa Value Addition Alliance aimed at shifting the model from simply exporting beans to processing, manufacturing and building more value at home.

In this mid-week edition of Daba Markets Talk, we explore why previous attempts to increase producer power have struggled, why cocoa cannot operate like an OPEC-style cartel, and why the bigger opportunity may lie in moving from bean to brand. We also look at cocoa price volatility, Europe’s incoming deforestation rules, the challenges of coordinating four major producers, and what this initiative could mean for Africa’s broader push to capture more value from its natural resources.
