• Cocoa prices climb for sixth straight month amid El Niño concerns
  Agriculture · Sep 7, 2026

  Cocoa prices have surged for the sixth consecutive month, driven by concerns over the El Niño weather pattern and its potential impact on crop yields in West Africa, the world's largest cocoa-producing region. As of Tuesday, September ICE NY cocoa rose by 2.30%, reaching $6,600 per metric ton, while London cocoa prices increased by 1.11%. The upward trend reflects growing anxiety among traders regarding supply disruptions due to adverse weather conditions. The US Climate Prediction Center's announcement of the El Niño phenomenon has intensified worries about the cocoa supply chain, particularly as West African farmers face challenges with lower farmgate prices. This situation has created a precarious balance between demand and supply, prompting market participants to reassess their forecasts. With cocoa prices climbing, the implications for chocolate manufacturers could be significant, as higher raw material costs may eventually be passed on to consumers, potentially impacting overall demand in the sector.
