Manage cocoa price risk volatility and protect margins with StoneX
Climate, currency fluctuation, regulation and fickle consumer demand all combine to make the cocoa market one of the most volatile of the commodity markets. This volatility can eat up already thin margins, frustrate long-term planning and hurt the bottom line. Fortunately, an effective risk management strategy can provide producers, co-ops, importers and end users with opportunities to manage their cocoa commodity price risk, as well as protect their margins and enhance their profits.
A customer-centric approach to price risk management
We understand that cocoa markets can be volatile, and swings in the prices of cocoa can determine whether a business earns a profit or suffers a loss. That’s why we work hand-in-hand with our clients to create highly tailored price-risk management programs that help them protect their margins, manage volatility, and benefit their bottom lines.

FAQ
What are cocoa futures?
Cocoa futures are exchange-traded contracts in which a buyer agrees to purchase a specific quantity of cocoa at a predetermined price on a future delivery date. Cocoa futures contracts are commonly used by manufacturers, processors and other businesses in the cocoa industry to hedge against commodity price fluctuations. Cocoa futures prices are influenced by a variety of factors, including weather patterns, supply and demand, and global economic conditions.
