00:00Cocoa farmers in Ivory Coast say a cold spell and lack of rainfall could lead to crop damage
00:06and reduced expectations for the October to March harvest.
00:11Rainy season in the West African country officially runs from April to mid-November.
00:17During that time, rains are usually heavy, but this year farmers across the country say
00:22their plants aren't getting enough moisture.
00:24Last week, the centre-western region of De Loa got just 0.9 millimetres of rain, 18.5 millimetres below average.
00:36Combined with overcast skies and low temperatures, the lack of rain could cause flowers and pods to dry out and fall.
00:44Limited sunshine may increase the risk of disease in cocoa plantations.
00:48Ivory Coast is the world's top cocoa producer, and its sector plays a crucial role in the global supply chain.
00:56But declining production poses a threat to its dominance and to the livelihoods of its farmers.
