ABIDJAN (Reuters) -Ivory Coast’s cocoa grind fell 25.4% year-on-year at the start of the 2025/26 season in October to 44,075 metric tons, data from exporters’ association GEPEX showed on Tuesday.
The GEPEX data covers six of the largest grinding companies, including Barry Callebaut, Olam and Cargill Inc.
Ivory Coast has a total grinding capacity of around 750,000 tons. It is the world’s top cocoa producer and vies with the Netherlands for the leading spot for grinding.
