Ivory Coast officials will deploy to center-eastern regions to resolve farmer protests over unpaid cocoa stocks. Unsold inventories accumulated from November to December after global prices fell below the fixed local rates set by the Coffee and Cocoa Council. Payment delays threaten the next harvest as farmers lack funds to maintain plantations, potentially tightening future global supplies.
