Indonesian cocoa industry developments
Overview
In early October 2026, Indonesian cocoa markets experienced rising reference prices. The Ministry of Trade set the cocoa bean reference price at US$6,057.87 per metric ton, a 7.49% increase, driven by global supply concerns in West Africa.
By the third quarter of 2026, Indonesia’s national cocoa processing industry showed growth in grinding volume. Data from the Ministry of Industry indicated that grinding reached 112,628 metric tons, up from 84,844 metric tons in the first quarter and 110,410 metric tons in the second quarter.
Industry leaders noted this growth reflects the resilience of the national processing sector. Concurrently, the Deputy Minister of Agriculture has promoted downstreaming initiatives to transform commodities into high-value products through increased research and industrial collaboration.
