ABIDJAN:Cocoa arrivals at ports in top growerIvory Coast reached around 1,032,000 tonnes by March 25 since the start of the season in October, exporters estimated on Monday, compared with 1,039,121 tonnes registered in the same period of the previous season.

Exporters estimated around 7,000 tonnes of beans were delivered to the West African state's two ports between March 19 and March 25. Last season in the same week there were no arrivals registered because exporters halted operations due to a civil war.
