Ivory Coast cocoa arrivals slump due to irregular rains
The drop in beans arrivals is expected to last until the end of the main harvest in February and March, and might extend into the first two months of the mid-crop harvest in April and May if rains do not arrive with more regularity, exporters, farmers and buyers told Reuters. Cocoa farming requires heavy rainfall with spells of sunshine for drying of beans.
