Nigeria May Miss Cocoa Output Target as Disease Takes Toll




Nigeria may miss its cocoa output target of 500,000 metric tons in the 2014-15 season after an outbreak of fungal blackpod disease devastated farms following heavy rains, a farmers association said.

Coordinator of the Cocoa Farmers Association in the southwestern cocoa-growing Ondo state, Adeola Adegoke, said the devastating effect of the excessive rains last August and September is now telling on the overall tonnage of cocoa beans harvested.

Nigeria, the world’s fourth-largest producer of the chocolate ingredient behind Ivory Coast, Ghana and Indonesia, set a target to produce at least 500,000 tons of cocoa by the end of the season running through September 2015 on account on newly maturing trees.

The West African nation produced 350,000 tons of cocoa in the 2013-2014 season, according to the Agriculture Ministry. The International Cocoa Organization assessed Nigeria’s production for that season at 240,000 tons.
