Cameroon nears full cocoa traceability as EU deadline looms, but risks remain

CAMEROON, JUL 21 – Cameroon registered 24,800 cocoa farmers and mapped over 28,000 plots to comply with EU rules banning cocoa linked to deforestation after 2020, securing access to key export markets.

Cameroon has announced that 99% of its cocoa can now be traced from individual farm plots to the export port - a significant step towards meeting new European Union sustainability requirements.

Pushed by the rise in international prices, Ecuadorian cocoa continues to gain space and foreign exchange in the different markets to which it is exported; while home in it also continues to seduce producers of other crops, such as bananas, who change in search of capturing part of that bonanza.

The new figure is in line with the trend observed internationally, where the price of cocoa negotiated on the London ICE stock exchange has lost almost 34.4% of its value since December 2024, reaching USD 8,285 per tonne. This trend reflects increased world production, notably by Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana.
