Synopsis
Excerpt from Foreign Agriculture Circular: Cocoa; October 1983; Fcb-2-83
World cocoa bean production for the october-september crop year is forecast at million tons, 7 percent greater than the poor outturn of million. The projected increase this season is largely the result of a larger Ivory Coast crop, following a rather severe Harmattan (dry winds from the Sahara) and accompanying drought conditions, and a significant increase in Malaysian production, reflecting improved growing conditions and extensive new plantings coming into bearing. Ecuador's crop is also expected to be larger, following the heavy rains and flooding that caused high losses from pod rot and other diseases during the season, and Brazilian production is forecast to be slightly above the bumper outturn of tons. (based on past performance, the chances are two out of three that actual world production will not vary more than 5 percent from the estimate given above.) World cocoa bean grindings in 1984 are forecast to increase slightly to million tons if production estimates are realized. Global production and grind are expected to be in close balance in 1984, following an estimated -ton stock drawdown during 1983. The trend toward increased production of non-chocolate confectionery products and chocolate coated filler-type candies have tended to slow the rise in world cocoa usage in recent years.
