West African agricultural commodity market volatility

Overview

Agricultural commodity markets in West Africa are experiencing significant price fluctuations and regulatory adjustments. In Togo, authorities established new producer prices for the 2026-2027 marketing season, setting coffee at CFAF 1,300 per kilogram and cocoa at CFAF 2,240 per kilogram to stabilize incomes following declines in export volumes.

Broader regional volatility is evident in Cameroon, where cocoa farm-gate prices have fluctuated between 700 and 6,000 FCFA per kilogram, recently settling between 2,750 and 2,900 FCFA. Additionally, in Guinea, the price of cola has seen a sharp increase, with the cost of a 50-kilogram bag rising from 600,000 GNF to 2,250,000 GNF, impacting local retailers and household consumption.
