“This 14.2 percent reduction translates to a shortage of around 462,000 tonnes and the lowest cocoa stocks in 22 years. It could mean a future characterized by even higher prices, topping the highs of almost $12,000/tonne, seen in the first half of 2024. Cocoa farming is already a tricky trade. Without action from the big producers, it might become impossible.”
is it predicatble to calculate the estimated rise in prcies known the reduction in stock?
