The global export of cocoa shells, husks, skins, and waste is dominated by Ivory Coast, which in 2023 led with a share of 51.51%. Germany and the Netherlands followed with 16.71% and 15.95%, respectively. Indonesia and Singapore were notable players, although their shares were significantly lower.
The most dynamic year-on-year changes were observed in Tanzania's exports with a substantial increase, and notable declines in Switzerland and the United States. Over a five-year period, there was a marked variance in growth rates among different countries.
Looking ahead, future trends may include shifts in the export landscape with developing countries potentially expanding their market presence. Sustainability practices and demand for cocoa by-products will likely shape production and export priorities.
