Ivory Coast cocoa grind up 22% y/y in June, exporters say ABIDJAN, July 20 (Reuters) - Ivory Coast's cocoa grind rose 22% year-on-year in June to 56,325 metric tons of beans, data from exporters' association GEPEX showed on Monday.
The total grind from the start of the 2025/26 season in October had reached 493,468 tons by the end of June, up 3.7% from the same period last season.
The GEPEX data covers six of the largest grinding companies, including Barry Callebaut BARN.S, Olam International OLAM.SI and Cargill Inc CARG.UL.
Ivory Coast, which has a total grinding capacity of 750,000 tons, is the world's top cocoa producer and vies with the Netherlands for the spot of leading grinder.
