Exports of cocoa from Ivory Coast’s western port of San Pedro are expected to be 630,000 metric tons this year, little changed from 2012, according to Guy Manouan, the port’s marketing director.
The harbor shipped 625,000 tons of cocoa in 2012, Manouan said today in a phone interview. Ivory Coast is the world’s biggest cocoa producer and San Pedro is the country’s main harbor for cocoa exports.
