Cocoa Market Report for August 2025
Abidjan, 17 September 2025 – The International Cocoa Organization releases the Cocoa Market Report for August 2025. The current report highlights the following insights:
- During August 2025, prices of cocoa futures contracts experienced a rally in the first half of the month before reversing course in the latter half.
- The gains were driven by persistent structural and quality concerns affecting the 2024/25 mid-crop. It was also compounded by fears over inadequate weather conditions in July 2025 and their potential impact on crop survival for the upcoming 2025/26 season.
- However, in the latter half of the month, prices retreated amid subdued global demand and cautious optimism regarding the 2025/26 main crop. These factors contributed to a softening in market sentiment, reversing earlier price gains.
Caution should be exercised in the interpretation of the following steps as they are just guidelines.
