Live Cocoa Price per Metric Ton (ICE New York)
The chart shows the live cocoa price per ton from the ICE New York exchange (Cocoa Futures, CC=F) — from the last 24 hours all the way back to the year 2000 — and the table shows our indicative wholesale cacao price per metric ton by grade. Prices track the exchange plus an origin and quality markup, then are confirmed with a formal quote for real Dominican Republic cocoa beans.

How to read this cocoa price per ton
- The chart is a global market benchmark — ICE New York cocoa futures (CC=F), in USD per metric ton.
- Farm-direct / origin pricing can differ from exchange pricing. Our grade table starts from that benchmark and adds an origin and quality markup; certification (organic), fermentation and scarcity all move the real number.
- Your final price depends on quality, fermentation level, moisture, bean count, origin, certification, packaging, incoterm and destination.
- For real FOB, CIF or DAP cocoa pricing, request a formal quote — that is the only way to get a firm number for your shipment.
Tell us your volume, grade and destination — we reply with FOB / CIF / DAP pricing.
Cocoa price — frequently asked questions
What is the current cocoa price per ton?
The live benchmark is shown in the chart above, taken from ICE New York (CC=F) in USD per metric ton, and it updates automatically. The table converts that benchmark into an indicative wholesale price for each Dominican cocoa grade — the firm figure comes with your quote.
Is the cocoa market price the same as farm-direct cocoa pricing?
No. The exchange price is a global reference. Farm-direct Dominican cacao is priced from that benchmark, adjusted up or down for grade, fermentation, certification, volume and logistics to your destination.
How much does fermented cocoa cost per metric ton?
Fermented cacao trades at a premium to unfermented beans because of the extra processing and flavor development, and certified organic lots command a further premium. You can see indicative per-grade figures in the table above; the firm fermented cocoa beans price is confirmed with your quote.
Do you sell certified organic cocoa beans?
Yes. We offer both certified organic and naturally grown (non-certified) Dominican cocoa beans, in fermented and unfermented grades. The organic cocoa beans price per ton is higher to reflect certification and traceability — see the grade table above.
Do you offer FOB, CIF or DAP pricing?
Yes. We quote FOB cocoa price at origin, as well as CIF or DAP depending on your destination port and incoterm preference. Request a quote and we will confirm the landed terms.
Can I request a wholesale cocoa quote from the Dominican Republic?
Absolutely. We supply wholesale cocoa beans — certified organic and naturally grown, fermented and unfermented — plus cacao nibs when available. Send us your target volume, grade and destination through our wholesale quote form for a tailored price.
