Demand stable with upward trend Chocolate is relatively inexpensive less affected by periodic economic downturns No similar substitutes unlike coffee vs. tea In longer term, we should see increase consumption due to : Population growth more people to consume cocoa products Usage diversifications into non-edible products cosmetics, spa etc
Change in consumer taste in non traditional chocolate consuming countries China and India ICCO 2009 data annual per capita chocolate consumption Germany 11.34kg United Kingdom 10.94kg Denmark 7.39kg USA 5.09kg Japan 2.15kg China 0.10kg India 0.10kg Just additional 100grams of annual consumption from both China and India would increase world bean demand by 230,000mt
Supply more erratic in short term and slowly declining Wild weather pattern prolonged draught and flood Ageing trees in main producing countries Ivory Coast, Indonesia Difficulty in combating cocoa disease CPB, VSD in adequate farmers training financial constraints, attitude Competition from other crops - oil palm
Production - violent swings in production cycle especially 2011/12 season favorable weather conditions in Ivory Coast world top producer at 1.3 million mt also marred by deadly civil war which disrupted cocoa trades, domestically and internationally Demand steadily increased despite economic uncertainties since 2008
Philippines annual production 6,000mt Large population 94 million potential for work force and market Large coconut acreage 2,000,000 hectare ?? potential for inter-crop with coconut Already experienced in cocoa
Vietnam annual production - 3,000mt Large population 88 million potential for work force and market Availability of agricultural land cocoa acreage only 22,000 hectare room for more Good connectivity with international ports due to coffee and industrial items exports cheap freight
South Pacific Islands Papua New Guinea already an established origin 50,000mt Solomon Islands 7,000mt Vanuatu 1,500mt Known for bean quality Located off major international sea traffic logistically difficult and expensive Combined population of these 3 countries only 7.8 million too small
Competition from other crop like oil palm for work force, land and government support Ageing trees low yield but replanting would mean loss of income for farmers need alternative income in the interim period Industrialization lack of interests by the younger generation in agri-business example Malaysia !
Competition from other cocoa origin price sensitive grinders would look for best value for money would learn about and try cocoa from other origins Ecuador, West African threat to traditional Asian origin like Indonesia Increased political / environmental scrutiny accusation of child labour, deforestation etc
Heavy concentration of supply Ivory Coast and Ghana account for more than 60% of annual world supply need to diversify opportunity for other origins Hot money funds injection by central banks spill over into commodities market more volatile swings in market driving up food prices what should we do ?
