cocoa JAKARTA: Indonesia's cocoa bean exports from its main growing island of Sulawesi rose 133 percent to 17,240.14 tonnes in September from 7,388.28 tonnes a year earlier, industry data showed on Tuesday.

 

September cocoa bean exports were almost four times higher than in August.

 

Indonesia, the third-largest producer after Ivory Coast and Ghana, is battling disease and adverse weather conditions that have hampered cocoa supplies for years.
