Case study: Helios flagged risk months before African cocoa prices skyrocketed 200%
Over the past year, cocoa prices surged to their highest levels in 25 years, driven by supply disruptions in West Africa. On April 19, 2024, they reached a record high of $10.97 per kilogram. Helios' platform gave an early warning beginning in January 2024, flagging the heatwave and drought in West African cocoa region.
Helios was made with you in mind.
