In comparison to 2020, Cocoa exports were excellent because our exports exceeded the industry expectations abroad by more than 420,000 tons shipped worldwide; the market loves our Cacao de Fino Aroma. Unfortunately, over 15,000 could not be exported due to the shortage of containers in the world.
But at the end of the disaster, the nibs are not lost because they can be kept for several months or even years before the producers find a way to export as originally planned last year.
The figure reached in production last year is very important since it is considered the highest of the past 10 years.
The projections of the Cocoa industry for 2022 are to exceed at least 20 % more in comparison to last year if the shipping companies are able to handle all the issues with container shortening.
At the end, we see that Ecuador and the world are recovering little by little, so for sure, we will have the opportunity to enjoy once again one of the best Premium Cocoa in the World.
