Recent light rains in Ivory Coast have proven beneficial for the development of the mid-crop cocoa harvest, which runs from April to September. Farmers in key cocoa-growing regions such as Soubre, Divo, Agboville, and Abengourou report that rainfall has been mostly above average, providing sufficient moisture for cocoa trees. This is especially important as the country is currently in its dry season, which typically lasts from mid-November to March.
