Heavy rain in most of Ivory Coast's main cocoa regions flooded some plantations in lowlands last week, threatening the April-to-September mid-crop, farmers said on Monday
Ivory Coast, the world's top cocoa producer, is in its rainy season which runs officially from April to mid-November.
Farmers added they feared buyers would refuse to buy beans in the coming weeks as the weather was regularly overcast and it was difficult to dry beans properly. In the southern region of Agboville, where 157.7 mm fell last week, 95.7 mm above the average, and in the eastern region of Abengourou, which recorded 125.8 mm last week, 70.3 mm above the average, farmers said they feared that beans would rot in the bush as drying conditions have not been good for two weeks.
