Cocoa Stocks Risk Sharp Rise

By Ajuma N / February 25, 2026

Unsold cocoa stocks in Kenya’s West African counterpart Côte d’Ivoire are projected to increase if price tensions continue. According to Reuters, a prolonged pricing standoff could leave large quantities sitting in warehouses. Exporters and regulators remain locked in disagreement over market rates. The dispute centres on balancing farmer protection with global demand pressures. Farmers fear prolonged uncertainty could affect incomes and future production.

Analysts warn that rising inventories may strain storage capacity and cash flow. Government officials are expected to announce new pricing measures soon. The outcome could significantly shape the country’s cocoa sector in the months ahead.
