Cocoa prices are hitting historic highs, as Western commodities markets are registering deficits of 478,000 tons of cocoa beans.
This is the result of a strategy by West African countries Ghana and Ivory Coast, the two biggest suppliers of cocoa to global markets. Beginning in 2019, they partnered with Chinese firms to process their cocoa in-country, and to sell their product directly to Chinese companies.
By cutting out speculators and traders in Western brokerages, and going around marketing and branding companies in the US and Switzerland, producers in Africa and their buyers in China keep far larger profits for themselves. West African suppliers more than double their exports by grinding their cocoa beans in-country, and Chinese firms realize far higher margins and a guaranteed supply of the world's high-quality processed cocoas.

Excerpt from Professor Leonard Jefffries' Albany speech @ Empire State Black Arts 7/20/91
Leonard Jeffries on the Phil Donahue Show 1991
President Ibrahim Traoré, Burkina Faso has not only broken free from economic shackles but has also laid the foundation for a future built on self-reliance, industrial strength, and cultural revival. He has defied global financial institutions, reclaimed national wealth, and rebuilt the backbone of his country’s economy—without a single handout from the West.
But revolutions don’t happen without a fight.
Traoré’s journey has been one of defiance, strategy, and sheer willpower. From rejecting IMF loans to nationalizing gold mines, from boosting food production to cutting government corruption at its core—his leadership has rewritten the rules of governance.
