Script to look at FOB data for CIV cocoa.

I wanted to check if cooperatives had higher FOB prices (i.e. paid more for cocoa beans), and if there were big differences between traders or countries that would be worth exploring further/highlighting engagement with CCC, for example.

There is no big difference between traders, traders vs cooperatives, nor between countries. Poland pays the most per ton of beans, and most of this is imported by Cemoi and SACO, who probably process there before selling elsewhere, would be my guess.

FOB per trader

FOB per import country

Poland pays the most. Who exports to Poland?
