Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2020, the market volume for not defatted cocoa paste in Algeria remained high, exceeding 6 000 t annually and peaking at 6 666 t in 2020. This level was sustained by substantial imports, which rose to over 5 600 t in 2020, compensating for a gradual decline in domestic production.

A sharp contraction followed in 2021, with the market falling to 4 159 t and further to 3 910 t in 2022, driven primarily by a steep drop in imports. The market partially recovered to 4 894 t in 2023, supported by a notable increase in domestic production to 2 074 t. From 2023, global cocoa supply was disrupted by significant production declines in West Africa due to crop disease and adverse weather, leading to record price volatility and increased cost pressures for importing countries.

In 2024, import volumes fell to 2 267 t, reflecting the continued tight global supply and elevated cocoa prices that constrained international trade flows.
