2026 Cocoa Market Outlook: Supply Tightens as Demand Shifts

  • by

The Content: As we enter January 2026, the global cocoa market is witnessing significant shifts. While West Africa—specifically Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire—has seen improved weather conditions, global supply remains historically tight. Recent reports indicate that arrivals at major ports have slowed by nearly 27% compared to last year.

At TIMAX Groups, we are closely monitoring these trends to ensure our partners receive the best value. The recent inclusion of cocoa in major commodity indices is expected to attract billions in new investment, potentially keeping prices firm despite fluctuating harvests. For international buyers, this means that securing a reliable, high-quality supply chain from a trusted exporter like TIMAX is more critical than ever in 2026.
