The European Cocoa Association (ECA) recently announced the publication of its Q3 2025 Cocoa Grind Statistics, providing an authoritative snapshot of cocoa processing activity across Europe. The latest figures reflect the collective reporting of ECA member companies, who represent approximately 90% of all cocoa beans ground in Europe, reinforcing the Association’s position as the leading source of cocoa-processing data for the region.
The Q3 2025 results offer valuable insights into current market conditions, supply-chain dynamics and processing trends at a time of continuing global cocoa-sector uncertainty. The release, published on 16 October 2025, includes grind volumes collected from industrial processors across multiple European regions.
Reliable Insights for a Changing Cocoa Market
ECA grind statistics are closely monitored by manufacturers, traders, analysts and industry stakeholders worldwide. By covering the vast majority of Europe’s bean-processing activity, the Association’s quarterly updates provide a highly representative view of demand indicators and processing capacity utilisation.
The Q3 2025 publication contributes to broader understanding of European cocoa-market developments, including:
-
Processing trends in response to fluctuating global cocoa prices
-
Regional activity patterns across Europe’s major grinding hubs
-
Supply-chain resilience as weather events, crop conditions and regulatory changes continue to influence market behaviour
The Q3 2025 data release follows ECA’s ongoing commitment to supporting a sustainable, innovative and competitive European cocoa and chocolate industry.
