Cocoa Market Report for October 2025
Abidjan, 16 November 2025 – The International Cocoa Organization releases the Cocoa Market Report for October 2025. The current report highlights the following insights:
- Since the start of the 2025/26 season, cocoa prices have declined. From the start to the end of October 2025, prices in London dropped from around US$6,320 to US$5,808 per ton, and in New York, they fell from US$6,686 to US$6,133 per ton.
- Port arrivals in Côte d’Ivoire reached 411,000 tons, a 9.7% year-over-year decrease, possibly due to stockpiling by processors rather than poor harvests.
- Weak demand also weighed on prices. Q3 2025 grindings showed Asia’s sharpest drop, while mixed trends were observed in Europe and North America.
- Overall, October 2025 saw a bearish tone. However, as the season progresses, uncertainties regarding EUDR regulations, harmattan weather, and seasonal factors could alter the supply-demand balance, consequently affecting prices.
