Why Cocoa Prices Are Crashing After Years of Record Highs
Cocoa futures have collapsed more than 40 percent from their 2025 peak, even as chocolate demand stays strong. Lucas and Luna break down the mechanics of the crash: how West African supply is rebounding, why hedge funds are unwinding record-long positions, and what it means for chocolate prices at the grocery store. They also look at the structural shift — aging trees, climate risk, and the Ivory Coast's production reforms — that could set the stage for the next boom. A specific, numbers-driven look at a commodity market most people only think about at checkout.
