The London No. 7 Cocoa futures contract serves as a price benchmark for the cocoa production market. 16 out of 20 top chocolate consuming countries are from Europe, with Americans enjoying 3 billion pounds of chocolate every year. The top 5 chocolate manufacturers include the Ivory Coast, Indonesia, Cameroon, Nigeria and Ghana. Together they account for 70% of the world’s cocoa production. Chocolate consumption is seasonal and the chocolate’s demand creates the direct demand for cocoa. Cocoa futures are traded on the ICE Exchange under ticker symbol CC in dollars per tonne.
