Coffee-Cocoa: 7 Agricultural Organizations Contest the Price of 1,200 FCFA (Statement)

In Côte d'Ivoire, seven professional organizations in the coffee-cocoa sector contest the price of 1,200 FCFA per kilogram for cocoa, set by the government for the 2026-2027 campaign. They point out that this price is the same as that of the previous campaign and does not address the difficulties faced by producers. The organizations are calling for concrete measures to support farmers, reminding that 23,000 tons of cocoa from the previous campaign are still held by producers.
