Recent light rains in the Ivory Coast have provided a significant boost to the development of the mid-crop cocoa harvest, which takes place from April to September. Cocoa farmers in key regions such as Soubre, Divo, Agboville, and Abengourou have reported that the rainfall has been largely above average, ensuring sufficient moisture for the cocoa trees. This is especially crucial as the country is currently experiencing its dry season, which typically runs from mid-November to March.
