The Côte d'Ivoire – Ghana Cocoa Initiative (CIGCI) is a cocoa cartel set up by the presidents of the two countries to raise cocoa prices.[1] It has been widely referred to as COPEC, in reference to the oil cartel OPEC.[2][3][4]
The two countries jointly control 60% of global cocoa production. The cartel in 2019 demanded a $400 premium (corresponding to a 16% markup on the market price) from cocoa buyers called the Living Income Differential (LID).[3][5]
