Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for cocoa beans in Comoros contracted from 47 980 kg in 2018 to 43 800 kg in 2023. This decline was primarily driven by a sharp fall in imports, which dropped from 5 100 kg to zero over the period. Domestic production, meanwhile, showed modest growth from 42 880 kg to 43 800 kg, providing a stable base for the local market.

From 2023, historic surges in global cocoa bean prices, exceeding $8,000 per tonne by 2024, reshaped trade flows. This price spike was fueled by a worldwide supply deficit caused by drought and crop disease in major West African producing nations. For Comoros, these record global costs made importing beans economically unviable, leading to a complete halt in imports and a market reliant solely on stable domestic output.
