In this episode of the Let’s Talk Agriculture Podcast, we sit down with Marc Donaldson to explore the realities behind the current cocoa price surge. Is it truly a crisis, or is it a long-overdue market correction that finally ensures fair pricing for farmers?
Marc unpacks the key factors driving this price increase and whether these shifts are sustainable in the long run. With manufacturers seeking cocoa alternatives to offset costs, we examine whether these substitutes could reshape the industry or remain niche options.
The conversation also highlights a critical challenge—how can the chocolate industry strike a balance between fair pricing for farmers and affordability for consumers?
As innovation brings new possibilities like lab-grown cocoa, we explore whether these advancements will disrupt traditional cocoa markets or complement them.
At Let’s Talk Agriculture LLC, we are committed to driving meaningful conversations that bridge industry gaps and support sustainable solutions for agribusinesses. This discussion underscores the importance of clear communication and strategic positioning in navigating shifts within the global agriculture sector.
Tune in for an insightful discussion on the future of cocoa and the evolving chocolate industry.

Thank you Sharon for bringing Marc to talk about what’s happening in the cocoa industry. And many thanks to you, Marc, for the information provided. As a cocoa trader in Nigeria, sometimes it is hard to get information about what is happening in the main cocoa producing countries that affect the price of cocoa. Definitely looking forward to listening to another session with you. Thanks once again
