Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for cocoa powder and cake in Israel increased from 7,800 t in 2018 to 8,863 t in 2023, following a volatile path that included a notable surge to 9,273 t in 2020 and subsequent declines in 2021 and 2022 before a partial recovery. Domestic production fluctuated over the period, peaking at 2,986 t in 2022 before contracting by a third in 2023 to 1,988 t. Imports, which constitute the majority of supply, rose significantly in 2020 and again in 2023, reaching 6,895 t.

In 2024, import volumes continued their upward trend, reaching 7,731 t. The market during this year was shaped by global supply-side pressures, including a sharp spike in cocoa prices due to severe weather in West African growing regions and a premium imposed by leading producers Ghana and Ivory Coast. Concurrently, local R&D initiatives, such as the Volcani Institute's development of climate-resilient cocoa varieties and an Israeli startup's lab-grown cocoa powder technology, aimed to address long-term raw material sustainability and potential quality enhancements.
