Ivory Coast Cocoa Crop Booms Despite Weather Chaos
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Ivory Coast’s main cocoa crop, typically reaping its bounty from October to March, is set to kick off early this year. Yes, you heard that right—earlier than usual, thanks to a peculiar dry spell amidst the rainy season. Farmers, ever the optimists, are already sounding the drums of success.

Normally drenched from April to mid-November, the world’s top cocoa producer saw below-average rains last week, throwing a wrench into the usual weather pattern. Yet, paradoxically, this dry stint seems to be a blessing in disguise. Cocoa farmers report that the soil remains adequately moist, allowing cocoa trees to thrive and the flowers to morph into small pods.

Take it from Kouassi Kouame, a seasoned farmer from Soubre in the west, where rainfall hit 25.7 millimeters last week—2.4 millimeters shy of the five-year average. “The trees are full of berries. We’ll have a lot of cocoa in October this year compared with last year,” he said, with a confidence that hints at a bumper harvest.

And Soubre isn’t alone. In the southern regions of Divo and Agboville, and the eastern region of Abengourou, farmers echo Kouame’s optimism, noting their plantations remain unscathed. Expect the first beans to start their journey from the bush as early as September.

Meanwhile, in the west-central region of Daloa, along with Bongouanou and Yamoussoukro in the center, the lack of rain hasn’t dampened spirits. Instead, farmers like Patrice Koffi are hailing the sunshine as a key player in bolstering the crop. “The sun is really helping the flowers and small pods to develop,” Koffi asserted, highlighting how 8 millimeters of rain—14.6 millimeters below the average—seems to be the magic number this year.

Overall, temperatures across Ivory Coast have ranged between a comfortable 24.01 to 26.4 degrees Celsius, providing an ideal climate for cocoa growth.

So, while the world might fret about erratic weather patterns, Ivory Coast’s cocoa farmers are riding the wave, poised for an early and bountiful harvest. Let’s just hope Mother Nature doesn’t have any more surprises in store.
