Ivory Coast Cacao Stock Dispute

The Interprofessional Cocoa Organization (OIA) of coffee-cocoa in Ivory Coast is awaiting payment for residual cacao stocks from the main harvest campaign. The campaign, which ran from October to late February, experienced a slowdown due to a lack of liquidity from operators, leading to significant stockpiles in producer cooperatives. The government announced a purchase of 100,000 tonnes to address the issue.
