Cocoa Price: New record highs are quite possible in the coming weeks – Commerzbank
|The Cocoa price has reached a new record high due to a shortage of supply. A further increase in prices is quite possible, strategists at Commerzbank say.
Cocoa more expensive than ever
The Cocoa price reached a new record high at the beginning of March due to a shortage of supply. This is due to poorer harvests in the two most important producing countries, Ivory Coast and Ghana. The Cocoa market is therefore likely to post a record supply deficit this crop year, with stocks falling to their lowest level for decades.
No relief is expected in the short term, meaning that a further increase in prices is quite possible.
