Heavy rain last week in most of Ivory Coast's cocoa-growing regions revived hopes of a strong April-to-September mid-crop after an extended dry spell, farmers said on Monday.
Ivory Coast, the world's top cocoa producer, is at the end of its dry season, which runs from mid-November to March.
"We are very happy. We weren't expecting such rain now. We hope the mid-crop will have a good yield," said Ghislain Angovi, who farms near the central region of Yamoussoukro, where 77.7 millimetres of rain fell last week, 60.7 mm above the five-year average. However, farmers said they did not expect bean quality to improve before June. Ivoirian exporters have been rejecting about half of bean deliveries in recent weeks because the dry weather led to poor quality.
"Everything is in place on the trees and the fruits are developing well," said Salame Kone, who farms near Soubre, where 21.7 mm of rain fell last week, 8.7 mm above the average.
