Heavy rain could damage Ivory Coast main cocoa crop, farmers say
Above-average rain across most of Ivory Coast's cocoa-growing regions last week could cause disease and damage the first beans of the October-to-March main crop in some areas, farmers said on Monday. The world's top cocoa producer is in the midst of a rainy season that runs from April to mid-November, when rains are abundant and often heavy. Several farmers said timid main crop harvests had started and would pick up next month.

UPDATE 1-Ivory Coast sells 2023/24 cocoa contracts with positive origin differential
Ivory Coast's Coffee and Cocoa Council (CCC) has sold 25,000 tonnes in cocoa export contracts to global commodities trader Cargill Inc with a positive origin differential for the 2023/24 season, sources at the CCC and Cargill told Reuters. The origin differential is a premium traders pay for cocoa beans from Ivory Coast and Ghana, the world's biggest producers. "On Friday we bought 25,000 tonnes with the CCC for the next season (2023/24), showing our commitment to support producer countries in their efforts to offer a decent price to farmers," a Cargill source said on condition of anonymity.
