How this year compares, month by month, to the typical pattern of recent years for the selected region.
Notable price events
- 2023-24 cocoa price surge — Poor harvests in Ivory Coast and Ghana - driven by aging trees, crop disease and an El Niño-linked drought hitting both countries at once - drove world cocoa prices to roughly three times their level of two years earlier, one of the sharpest sustained moves in any commodity tracked on this site.
"World" is the global benchmark price (World Bank Pink Sheet, monthly since 1960, where available). This commodity has no official global benchmark price, so "World (average)" is a simple, unweighted mean across whichever FAOSTAT-reporting countries had a producer price that year, computed by agri.markets — not a production-weighted figure, and not an official FAO statistic. Currency conversion uses monthly ECB reference rates since 1999 (some currencies joined later) — for comparison, not precise historical FX accounting. "Inflation-adjusted (real)" rescales each historical price to the purchasing power of the most recent month using the US CPI-U (Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, not seasonally adjusted) — applied the same way regardless of which currency a price is displayed in, since CPI-U measures general US price levels, not an exchange rate. A rough, standard way to compare prices across decades, not a substitute for a commodity-specific or country-specific deflator.
About Cocoa
Grown almost entirely in a narrow band near the equator; Ivory Coast and Ghana together supply roughly 60% of the world's cocoa, making prices unusually sensitive to weather and crop disease in just those two countries. That concentration was on stark display in 2023-24, when poor harvests in both countries - driven by aging trees, disease and an El Niño-linked drought hitting at once - drove world cocoa prices to roughly three times their level of two years earlier. Demand is relatively stable — chocolate consumption doesn't swing much with the economy — so most price volatility comes from the supply side.
Latest World price (2026-07): +16% vs. the 5-year average, +57% vs. the 10-year average, -24% vs. a year ago.
