An additional quota of 23,830 tons has been allocated to the OIA Coffee-Cocoa, marking the final phase of stock clearance for the 2025–2026 main crop season.

This announcement was made on Thursday, April 9, 2026, during a press conference held at the CAISTAB building in Plateau by the Agricultural Interprofessional Organization (OIA) Coffee-Cocoa, in the presence of the Minister of Agriculture, Rural Development and Food Production, Bruno Nabagné Koné, and the Director General of the Coffee-Cocoa Council, Yves Brahima Koné.

The meeting aimed to officially confirm the completion of the final phase of the removal of remaining cocoa stocks. Representing the President of the OIA Coffee-Cocoa, Siaka Diakité, the third Vice-President, Obed Doua, stated that as of April 8, 2026, the Coffee-Cocoa Council had notified the organization of this additional quota, confirming the effective closure of the stock clearance operation.

The OIA commended the government’s efforts in managing the operation and in maintaining the farmgate price at 1,200 FCFA/kg, made possible through the stabilization fund.

The Director General of the Coffee-Cocoa Council noted that the marketing difficulties experienced this year were linked to an international context affecting all producing countries.

For his part, Minister Bruno Nabagné Koné welcomed the positive outcome and praised stakeholders for their sense of responsibility. He urged OIA representatives to support producers in ensuring the smooth conduct of the mid-crop season.

The government also reaffirmed its commitment to establishing a permanent dialogue framework with all stakeholders, with upcoming consultations planned to assess and strengthen the cocoa marketing system.
