Summary · why it matters

Cocoa prices are climbing again, with futures up 7.7% to $6,648.00 in early trading Monday, after sliding to as low as $2,846.00 in early March. The rebound is driven by renewed supply uncertainty for the 2026-2027 crop, particularly in Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana, as traders reassess expectations of a substantial surplus. Weather remains a key factor, with concerns over El Niño-related disruption and lower farmgate prices in those countries affecting farmer output and investment. Analysts also view part of the increase as a market correction, noting that futures below $3,000 per ton in late February reflected overly optimistic supply assumptions and overly pessimistic demand expectations. Companies exposed to cocoa price swings include Hershey, Mondelez International, Nestlé, and Barry Callebaut.
