This is your Daily Cocoa Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

Welcome back to the Daily Cocoa Price Tracker, your trusted source for everything cocoa. I’m Vanessa Clark, and today is Thursday, November thirteenth, twenty twenty-five. Whether you’re a trader, a chocolatier, or just a fan of the world’s favorite treat, I’m here to break down the latest cocoa news, prices, and what it all means for your day.

Let’s start with the market headline everyone is searching for: the current trading price for cocoa. According to Trading Economics, cocoa futures rose today to five thousand six hundred sixty-one dollars and ninety-five cents per metric ton, marking a slight increase of just under one percent from the previous day. This comes after a steep slide from historic highs last December, when cocoa touched nearly thirteen thousand dollars per ton. Even though prices have tumbled more than thirty-five percent over the past year, cocoa is still getting plenty of trader attention because of continued market volatility and big shifts in global supply.

What’s driving these wild moves? After supply shortages and soaring prices in two thousand twenty-four, conditions have stabilized a bit. Favorable weather in West Africa, especially in top producer Ivory Coast, has led to better crop yields. Local farmers are reporting that light rains and warm temperatures are creating a more positive outlook for the pivotal October to March cocoa season. Add to that, draft proposals in Europe to delay the rollout of strict anti-deforestation laws have given producers and exporters some much-needed breathing room, easing pressure on prices for now.

On the flip side, the cocoa industry isn’t entirely out of the woods. Crop diseases, aging farms, and political uncertainty—including talk of tariffs in both the US and Europe—are keeping markets on edge. Nigeria’s output is projected to drop by eleven percent in the upcoming season, a reminder that structural challenges remain. At the same time, the European Union’s evolving regulations mean that supply chains must stay nimble and compliant, especially as sustainability and traceability become central to long-term procurement.

So, what does all this mean if you’re involved in the chocolate business, or even just someone watching prices for your favorite snack? Here are some actionable takeaways:

First, if you’re sourcing cocoa, consider short-term contracts or diversifying suppliers to manage the ongoing volatility. Companies across the globe are now hedging for shorter periods—think four to five months instead of a year or more.

Second, if you’re a chocolate manufacturer or retailer, communicate openly with your customers. The days of super-cheap chocolate are likely behind us. Consumers want to know about traceability, sustainability, and quality, so sharing your sourcing stories can set your brand apart.

Finally, for investors or traders, keep an eye on weather forecasts in West Africa and any policy news from the European Union. These two factors are having the biggest immediate impacts on prices. And here’s a tip: with daily volatility still over two percent, opportunities abound for well-timed trades if you’re watching market signals closely.

And that’s your cocoa snapshot for today, November thirteenth. Thanks for joining me, Vanessa Clark, on the Daily Cocoa Price Tracker.
