Cacao agronomist Sarah Bharath has become one of my closest friends in the craft chocolate world, and she's been on Bean to Barstool a couple times before. (You can listen to those conversations here and here.) Today I'm sharing the first of a two part conversation Sarah and I had recently about cacao farming and fermentation. Rather than getting technical (though there is certainly a lot of science here), the conversation was more philosophical, as we discuss the challenges and opportunities offered by small-holder farms in the cacao space. Farmers need to make money to live, and that means efficiency and predictability are easy to prioritize. But those goals might be at odds with soil health, long-term plant health, and the ultimately goals of cacao production: flavor and complexity. How do we reconcile these? And what do we do with the tension in craft chocolate and other artisan food and drink industries between the romance of terroir and agricultural variability and the need for consistency and agronomic predictability?Listen in as Sarah and I discuss these topics!

Poudre de cacao : La vérité sur ce que vous achetez
Le Danemark souhaite supprimer les taxes sur le café et le cacao. Cette annonce pourrait se concrétiser dans la prochaine loi de finances qui sera finalisée d'ici début décembre. Cette décision vise à stimuler la demande, en limitant l'impact du coût pour les ménages. Elle illustre surtout à quel point le pouvoir d'achat est attaqué dans le pays, et plus largement en Europe. La proposition est symboliquement très forte, car la taxe sur le cacao est considérée comme un des impôts les plus anciens du Danemark. L'augmentation de 25 % des prix du chocolat, et de 35 % des prix du café, en un an, selon les statistiques nationales, a finalement eu raison de cette « taxe réputée pour être la plus complexe et la plus bureaucratique », selon la ministre des Affaires économiques, Stéphanie Lose. Et ce, même si cette suppression pourrait provoquer un manque à gagner estimé à 320 millions d'euros pour le gouvernement. Le choix des autorités est de s'adresser directement au porte-monnaie des Danois, qui font partie des plus gros consommateurs de chocolat en Europe et boivent en moyenne plus de trois tasses de café par jour et par personne. Ce qui les place dans le top 5 des consommateurs de la planète, les premiers étant les Finlandais, selon le site suédois Kaffeinformation. Les prix ont fini par « détruire » la demande Comme le cacao, dont le marché a explosé ces deux dernières années, le café a vu ses prix augmenter au point d'affecter la consommation et de « détruire » la demande, pour reprendre la formulation employée par les négociants. Ce qui est vrai au Danemark, où le pouvoir d'achat est un des plus élevés d'Europe, est aussi vrai ailleurs : les marchés européens et américains stagnent depuis plusieurs années. Même au Brésil, la consommation a baissé. Le pays est pourtant le premier exportateur au monde d'Arabica, mais cela ne le préserve pas de l'augmentation des cours mondiaux. Entre juillet et août 2025, les prix du café brut ont augmenté de 25 % localement, selon l'association brésilienne de l'industrie du café (ABIC). L'Asie, un marché porteur Les importations asiatiques de café cette année ont aussi été affectées par la hausse des prix, mais à plus long terme, c'est une des régions du monde où le potentiel de développement est le plus élevé. Le marché du café en Asie et en Océanie affiche un taux de croissance de plus de 2 %, taux qui pourrait doubler rapidement, selon le négociant Sucafina. Cela n'a pas échappé à l'organisme brésilien Cecafé, qui dit surveiller avec attention la croissance du marché chinois. Dans le pays, la demande a dépassé les 4 millions de sacs de 60 kg par an et ne faiblit pas. Dans la série des marchés porteurs, on peut citer aussi la Corée du Sud où la consommation a augmenté significativement ces dix dernières années et dépasse maintenant les 3 millions de sacs, selon une des dernières notes du courtier britannique Marex.

Le cacao camerounais connaît un essor remarquable, porté par une hausse exponentielle des prix. Ils sont passés du simple au quintuple en l'espace de deux saisons. Une envolée principalement due à la diminution des récoltes des grands pays producteurs, la Côte d'Ivoire et le Ghana. Mieux payé au Cameroun que dans ces deux derniers pays, « l'or brun » attire désormais de nombreux jeunes Camerounais, qui se lancent dans cette culture. De notre correspondant à Yaoundé, Une foire dédiée au cacao est organisée dans la cour du Musée national à Yaoundé. Henry est venu se renseigner : motivé par le prix du kilo de fèves, en moyenne 5 000 francs CFA (soit 7,62 euros), au cours de la dernière campagne, ce jeune Camerounais va se lancer dans la culture. « Autour de nous, nous avons vu les prix grimper, observe-t-il. Les prix sont partis de 1 500 à 5 000 et poussière. Désormais, nous pourrons faire une vie avec le cacao, ce qui fait notre source de motivation. Je voudrais développer cinq hectares et voir par la suite comment continuer parce que des espaces, nous en avons assez », explique-t-il. Demande de semences de cacao décuplée Comme lui, des centaines de jeunes acquièrent des terres dans les villages et achètent des plants de cacao par milliers. Dans les pépinières, la demande a grimpé en flèche. « Nous faisons dix fois plus de semences de cacao qu'avant, dix fois plus ! La demande est extrêmement forte, constate Rostand, qui possède une pépinière près de Yaoundé. Est-ce qu'on peut dire que pour les pépiniéristes il y a aussi une embellie ? La demande en plants de cacao a grimpé, il est vrai, mais c'est au détriment aussi d'autres semences. Sinon, on se fait du chiffre, nous sommes contents, mais ça ne suffit pas. » À lire aussiGhana: une hausse du prix du cacao pour les producteurs en trompe-l'œil Une tendance durable, selon la Sodecao Le système libéral pratiqué au Cameroun a favorisé plus qu'ailleurs la flambée des prix du cacao dans le pays et l'opérateur étatique encadrant les producteurs, la Société de développement du cacao, est optimiste pour la suite. « Je ne peux pas prédire l'avenir, mais je pense qu'il s'agit de quelque chose de durable et de sérieux, juge Jean-Claude Eko'o Akouafane, directeur général de la Sodecao. Les prix ne sont pas près de baisser. De toute façon, depuis que ce phénomène s'est déclenché, nous avons observé sa vigueur et que cette embellie ne pourra que s'améliorer par la suite. Le cacao continue à aider le pays à développer ses campagnes de plus en plus. » La nouvelle campagne cacaoyère a débuté au début du mois d'août. Le Cameroun a produit 309 000 tonnes de cacao en 2023-2024, encore loin des 640 000 tonnes visées par l'État. À lire aussiSur les pistes du trafic de cacao
C'est une page qui est en passe de se tourner dans le secteur du négoce du cacao : le groupe français Touton implanté à Bordeaux dans le sud-ouest de la France, qui fait partie des six premiers acheteurs de fèves dans le monde, est à vendre. Il annonce être entré en négociation exclusive avec Hartree, un groupe de négoce international. Touton appartient à l'histoire du cacao, même si le groupe commercialise aussi du café, de la vanille et des épices. L'activité de Touton repose sur celle de ses 14 filiales. Plusieurs sont basées en Afrique et notamment en Côte d'Ivoire où le groupe s'est distingué à la fin des années 1990 en rachetant des plantations. La société s'est aussi illustrée pour son investissement dans la production de cacao premium. Le groupe se targue aujourd'hui d'avoir construit une chaîne d'approvisionnement en cacao 100 % traçable et durable. Dans l'entourage du président Patrick de Boussac, à l'âge de la retraite, on évoque des raisons personnelles et une volonté de passer la main depuis deux trois ans déjà. Mais plusieurs facteurs ont certainement pesé, selon des observateurs de la filière, y compris le fonctionnement du marché, tel qu'il est aujourd'hui. Contexte de marché « ingérable » De l'avis général, ces deux dernières années ont en effet été ingérables et imprévisibles pour les traders. La hausse des prix et leur volatilité ont contraint les négociants à déposer des garanties financières de plus en plus importantes pour couvrir les risques financiers qu'ils prenaient. Le tout avec un impact évident sur leur trésorerie. Dans le contexte de marché actuel, « le défi le plus important pour un négociant en cacao est clairement devenu l'accès à des lignes de crédit plus que l'accès aux fèves », résume Javier Blas, éditorialiste chez Bloomberg et co-auteur du livre Un monde à vendre, publié aux éditions Novice. Toutes les entreprises ont en effet besoin de contracter des prêts auprès de banques pour acheter le cacao avant de le revendre. Ce défi est encore plus grand pour une maison de négoce familiale comme Touton, pointe Javier Blas, sachant que même des multinationales ont été mises en difficulté ces derniers mois. Un repreneur adossé à un fonds d'investissement Ce n'est d'ailleurs peut-être pas un hasard si la société Hartree, qui est en passe de reprendre Touton, est adossée à Oaktree, un fonds d'investissement. C'est en effet beaucoup plus facile pour un fonds d'investissement qui gère des milliards de dollars d'actifs de naviguer dans le marché tel qu'il est aujourd'hui. Dans un tel contexte de marché, les petits disparaissent souvent au profit des plus grands. La société qui est positionnée pour racheter Touton a d'ailleurs conclu en juillet l'acquisition d'EDFMan, un autre trader de cacao, de sucre et de café, bien implanté en Afrique. Parmi les facteurs qui ont aussi probablement eu un impact dans la décision de Touton, il y a la baisse des volumes de fèves auxquels les entreprises de négoce implantées en Côte d'Ivoire ont eu accès. « En raison de la diminution de la production ces deux dernières années, les fèves ont été en priorité dirigées vers les usines de transformation locales [Touton n'en possède pas] et mises à disposition des exportateurs locaux, ivoiriens », explique un acteur de la filière, implanté en Côte d'Ivoire. Les négociants comme Touton ont été « servis » après, et ont donc eu accès à moins de sacs de cacao, ce qui pu constituer un frein à leur activité. Touton a vu son bénéfice net bondir de plus de 1 000 % entre l'exercice 2022-2023 et l'exercice 2023-2024, passant de 11,4 millions d'euros à 128 millions d'euros. Ses derniers résultats financiers ne sont pas encore accessibles.

On this episode, we sit down with Keith Bearden, CEO of Alter Eco, to unpack one of the most turbulent years in chocolate's history. We dive into why cacao prices have more than tripled over the past two years and how a new 39% Swiss import tariff is disrupting their business in ways we have never seen before. Keith shares how Alter Eco is helping farmers transition to dynamic agroforestry systems across Latin America, why regenerative certification doesn't always pencil out, and what needs to happen to unify the movement so consumers truly understand regen's value. Episode Highlights:

La plupart de nos aliments passe entre les mains de dizaines de personnes avant d'arriver en rayon. C'est vrai pour le chocolat, le café, la banane… Et pour chaque étape, il y a des défis, et il y a surtout des gens qui vivent de cette activité.Dans cette saison 6 de Nourrir le vivant, on va vous parler de quelques-uns des grands enjeux auxquels font face six filières agricoles, en commençant par le swollen shoot, une maladie qui décime la culture du cacao. Certes, en six épisodes, on ne pourra vous raconter qu'une partie de l'histoire. Mais en agriculture, "une partie de l'histoire", ça concerne bien souvent plusieurs milliers de personnes. On n'arrêtera pas demain de consommer du cacao ou du café, mais on peut faire en sorte que, du producteur au consommateur, tout le monde s'y retrouve. Parce que oui, c'est jamais juste du chocolat.Distribué par Audiomeans. Visitez audiomeans.fr/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

Het rommelt achter de schermen bij de Amerikaanse centrale bank. Er is onenigheid over het rentebeleid. De centrale bankiers zijn het eens: er komt een verlaging. Maar de een vindt dat het deze maand moet, de ander in september, en een deel zelfs pas volgend jaar.Ondertussen blijft president Trump druk uitoefenen op de Fed-baas, Jerome Powell. De rente moet omlaag, vindt Trump. En hij geeft Powell naast 'idioot' en 'traag' nu ook een nieuwe bijnaam. Over die bijnaam hebben we het deze aflevering niet, wél wat deze onduidelijkheid en onzekerheid betekent voor de beurs. En dus voor jouw aandelen. Hebben we het ook over TSMC. De chipmaker doet het beter dan verwacht en zegt (nog steeds) te profiteren van de vraag naar AI-chips. Er is weer sprake van chup-euforie, want gister ging chipbedrijf Nvidia door de magische grens van 4000 miljard dollar. Wij kijken wat dit alles betekent voor de cijfers van ASML. Gaan zij dan volgende week ook stunten?Over ASML gesproken. We hebben het ook over een oud-werknemers die geheimen heeft gestolen bij de chipmachinemaker uit Veldhoven. Spoiler: het loopt niet zo goed voor hem af.Ook deze aflevering: Beleggers lachen om Trumps koper-tarieven. OpenAI opent de aanval op Google. Alweer. De grootste suikerproducten van Europa zit in de problemen. Zorgt de Nederlandse pensioensector voor een schokgolf? Boze aandeelhouders Tesla dwingen vergadering af.

In this highly anticipated annual episode, Dr. G delivers the 2025 Heal Thy Self Cacao Product Review. After weeks of testing, lab document requests, and direct communication with brands, Dr. G exposes the shocking truth about your favorite cacao products. Not all cacao is created equal. Some brands are loaded with heavy metals like lead and cadmium. Others are contaminated with mold and mycotoxins. And some companies won't even respond to basic safety questions about what's actually in their products. Dr. G breaks down: Why even organic cacao can exceed safe heavy metal levels The brands that completely ignored transparency requests (red flag!) Which companies provided full certificates of analysis and passed with flying colors How mycotoxins from improperly stored cacao beans can cause liver toxicity and immune suppression The difference between fermented, raw, and roasted cacao and why it matters His complete transparency protocol: what questions every cacao company should answer. This isn't just about flavor; it's about your long-term health. Cacao is medicine, but sourcing matters. Transparency is the new baseline for quality. From the brands that made the top tier to the ones you should avoid completely, this episode will change how you choose your cacao forever. #cacao #chocolate #wellness ==== Thank You To Our Sponsors!

Who doesn't love cacao in some way, shape, or form? (Of course, dark chocolate is the best kind of chocolate in my not-so-humble opinion, but that's beside the point.) In this episode, I got to interview Marcos Patchett, a London herbalist with a very interesting backstory, who also happens to be an expert on cacao.Marcos shared so many fascinating aspects of this amazing plant, from its rich history in South America to its chemical constituents and the way it affects our bodies. He also dove into its many health benefits – so now you have an excuse to indulge in some high-quality chocolate!One traditional way to work with cacao is as a refreshing drink called pozol. Marcos shared a recipe for pozol that he learned in Mexico; you can download your beautifully illustrated copy here: https://bit.ly/4dged6iGood chocolate is much more than just a decadent treat!
