Investing.com -- The cocoa deliveries to warehouses in Ghana, the world’s second-largest producer, are currently about 70% higher than last season, according to Bloomberg News. This significant increase has been attributed to an improved harvest and successful efforts to decrease smuggling.
Approximately 560,250 tons of cocoa beans have been delivered to the industry regulator’s warehouses since the beginning of the 2024-25 season, which started on February 13, 2025. The current delivery volume is a considerable increase compared to the same period last year when around 330,000 tons of cocoa beans were delivered to the Ghana Cocoa Board depots.
The global market has been closely monitoring the supply of cocoa from West African growers. This attention comes after poor harvests during the previous season resulted in a substantial global shortage, causing cocoa prices to reach record highs.
