Ivory Coast cocoa regulator targets intermediary buyers in sector reform

Reuters exclusively reported that Ivory Coast’s cocoa regulator plans to implement a reform of the domestic cocoa marketing system that will, within a year, eliminate middlemen to prevent risk and overpayment.

Market Impact

The reform will rely on Ivory Coast’s new cocoa traceability and certification system, which will digitise payment for all cocoa bean sales or purchase transactions from the farmer to the exporter.
